Beautiful flower bouquets at an affordable price? Â Raises Hand and screams… “Over here!” Â I have been told by people before that they are not fans of receiving flowers or bouquets, for whatever reason. Â A few have even compared receiving bouquets to funerals and even death. Â I’m sure everyone has their own opinion to whether they enjoy receiving the “smell great” beauties or not but I know I love them. Â Receiving flowers to me is a sweet and kind gesture. Â As a child, I worked in the garden with my Mom and Grandma and we loved picking the flowers from our Garden and arranging them in a vase to look at and as I got older my Dad and I spent hours photographing florals. Â Part of the reason I am a Photographer today is because of these gorgeous creations that God and Mother Nature has gifted to us. Â Flowers remind me of my childhood, life and love.
Having received a plethora of different bouquets in my lifetime (thanks to a wonderful husband), I cherish them a lot because I know how costly they can be. Â A dozen roses arranged in a vase and delivered to my work place is not cheap and many times if it is on a busy Holiday (i.e. Valentine’s Day), if you are not pre-ordered, you will not make the deadline for delivery. Â TheBouqs.com is a site filled with a huge array of bouquets – not just roses but flora of all shapes, sizes and gorgeous colors. Â Not a roses type of gal or guy? Â Don’t worry… Daisies, lillies… you name it – they have it. Â What I love best is the affordable prices and how quick it all gets delivered.
My bouquet came all the way from Ecuador delivered via Fed-ex. Â It was wrapped well and packaged nicely. Â Considering it was in transit to Hawaii from Ecuador for a week before it was delivered, the bouquet arrived safe and sound and as fresh and gorgeous as I would expect it to have been if it came from a local Florist.
The Volcano collection (my roses came from this one) cost $40 and come from South America, the California Collection is $50 and comes from the West Coast. Â Securely packaged and ready for delivery. Â Of course if you want to have an added touch, you can certainly add your own vase – but considering a bouquet of flowers can cost well over $75 and even over $100 I think the deal you get from theBouqs.com is definitely a great one.
After opening up my package, I removed the roses nicely and set them on the side. Â I filled my vase with room temperature water, added in the little packet of flower food and while that was sitting I began cutting the stems of my new flowers. Â My parents both worked in a florist so I learned that you must cut your stems diagonally under cool water – not cold and not hot. Â The diagonal cut ensures the flowers are getting enough water to keep them lasting. Â You should remove the leaves that are below the water line when the roses or flowers are placed in the vase, but I don’t like how they look – so I tend to leave them in. Â Once you are done – admire your flowers. Â I add fresh water to the vase every day and change out the water after a week to ensure that the bouquet lasts. Â If your bouquet lasts a while, then you can always remove leaves and petals as you need.
Here’s why I love bouqs.com flowers and bouquets so much. Â The first image (at the top) was taken on the day the bouquet arrived. Â The picture above was taken 7 days later. Â If you take care of flowers, they can last for a few weeks, even if they are a bouquet and technically “not living” because they have been cut. Â theBouqs.com takes so many measures to ensure that your flowers are delivered as beautiful as it would be if you had ordered them locally.
Did I mention I love photographing flowers? Â I think they are breathtaking and divine and they certainly remind me of spring. Â The close up of these roses are from the same bouquet I received, but these taken on Day 9 – they are still beautiful and smell heavenly.
The flowers in the above photo have bloomed so nicely. Â This photo was taken on Day 13. Â As you can see – even with the heat that Hawai’i experiences, with proper care the roses or any of the flowers for that matter will blossom and open up beautifully. Â I had the opportunity to enjoy these flowers for over two weeks until they started to wilt completely. Â They were a breath-taking addition to my decor in the house and smelled just as nice.
So are you looking for affordable bouquets for Easter, an Anniversary, special occasion? Â Definitely check out theBouqs.com and browse through their selection of gorgeous bouquets that will warm any heart.

I love fresh flowers! I am a daffodil and a calla lily girl!
These are beautiful
Oh daffodils and calla lilies – how wonderful. They are gorgeous too. I just love flowers! 😉 thank you
Those roses are to die for! (And I am not a roses person, I like Flower of Paradise and Orchids myself). Cute cute!
Aren’t they? And they lasted so long. I love Orchids… I grow those and roses in my yard… but Orchids survive nicely where we live because we are on the mountain 😉
omg those are beautiful!
they are – this site has definitely wowed me.
This is sooooo pretty and gorgeous color. I love fresh flowers!!! Always a nice way to put a smile on the face 🙂
I love when Roses are two toned like that – I have seen a yellow one with purple/fuchsia tips to them, Oh my – I need to get my hands on those 😉 I love fresh flowers… they definitely put a smile on my face. 😉
I think flowers are wonderful, and I’m definitely one of those people who loves getting them. There is something infinitely romantic and chic about decorating the house with fresh fragrant bouquets 🙂

I’ve never had roses last that long! Amazing. And, they are beautiful. I love getting flowers, and I’m lucky that my hubby loves giving them to me.
My mom gets hers to last a good 3 weeks in the Winter months here… which is summer months still – but a tad bit cooler. lol. I was so amazed at how long they lasted, but I am pretty crazy about making sure I add water and cleaning them up. lol I love getting flowers… and love that my hubby gives them to me too 😉 I think it’s such a special gesture.
those bouquets are GORGEOUS!

I love flowers. They make the home look so much more inviting.
they really do and they especially bring a little bit of sunshine into a room too 😉
Fresh flowers or any flowers for that matter is definitely a great thing to keep around the house. That’s why I don’t get how people think they belong in funeral homes. I think that they bring love and life to a funeral home, which is hard to do. Thanks Miranda 😉
they truly are 😉
omigosh – aren’t they just gorgeous? Their florals are just divine.
Oh, these are completely gorgeous!
