Small Bouquets (5-10 stems)
Description: Perfect for a simple, elegant look, small bouquets are ideal for table centrepieces or as a thoughtful gift.
Recommended Flowers: Choose one or two types of flowers such as lilies, tulips, or roses. Incorporating greenery will add fullness.
Medium Bouquets (10-20 stems)
Description: These bouquets have more presence and are suitable for weddings, anniversaries, or special events.
