So, you’re standing there, staring at a dozen vases of blooms, wondering which freakin’ flower of bouquet speaks to your soul—or maybe just to the person you’re trying to impress. We’ve all been there. Choosing a bouquet shouldn’t feel like a pop quiz you didn’t study for; it should be fun, creative, and maybe even a little therapeutic.
At Our Little Flower Company, we don’t believe in cookie-cutter bouquets. Each arrangement is as unique as the person receiving it (even if it’s just for you—self-love, right?). So let’s break it down: how do you pick a bouquet that’s just right?
P.S. There’s no wrong choice here. But if you’re the type who loves being part of the process and adding a personal touch, here’s a little pep talk!
The Art of the Bouquet
First, can we talk about how underrated a well-made flower bouquet is? There’s a reason it’s been a go-to gift for centuries. A bouquet is more than “just flowers”—it’s a mood, a story, maybe even an apology (if you’ve been caught in one of those arguments).
The trick is finding the right vibe. For us, it’s all about layers—lush, yet light greenery mixed with timeless statement blooms and some delicate an interesting details tucked in. It’s like putting together an outfit: the big, show-stopping flowers are your coat or blazer, and the little sprigs and fillers? That’s your jewelry.
Occasionally… Unoccasioned
You don’t always need a reason to bring home a flower bouquet. A random Monday morning is as good an excuse as any. Trust me, throwing a bunch of wildflowers in a vase while blasting your favorite Spotify playlist is basically free therapy. And there’s something about a fresh arrangement on your coffee table that just makes your space feel… put together—even if you’re not.
But when there is an occasion:
• For your best friend’s birthday? Think bright and happy vibes. Sunflowers, gerbera daisies, or a playful mix of textures.
• For a quiet moment (or someone who could use one): Muted tones and soft blooms like peonies, ranunculus, or baby’s breath.
• And when you’re sending that “I totally thought this text thread was funny and not serious” apology, keep it classic with roses or tulips.

The Flowers You Choose Say A Lot
If you’re the kind of person who stresses over symbolism (guilty), here’s the shortcut. Pick what feels good. Sure, roses scream romance and lilies have some heavy Victorian vibes, but you don’t have to follow the rules. I’ve sent a “flowers of bouquet” filled with funky proteas to my sister just because they made me smile, and guess what? She loved them.
The most meaningful flowers are the ones that make someone pause and say, “Wow, this is so me.”
A Little Insider Tip
Here’s a pro move: ask what’s in season. Local flowers not only look fresher, but they also tend to last longer (and bonus: they’re better for the planet). Right now, I’m obsessed with moody winter greens mixed with rich berries and pops of color. You know, that casual “I just threw this together” vibe we all secretly aspire to.
Flowers aren’t just bouquets—they’re moments, memories, and little pieces of joy wrapped up in pretty paper. So whether you’re buying one for someone special or just trying to zhuzh up your own kitchen table, go for it. Life’s too short not to surround yourself with beauty.
