Flowers are more than just pretty petals they’re heartfelt messengers of emotion. Whether it’s love, joy, sympathy, or gratitude, a thoughtfully curated bouquet can say what words sometimes cannot. At AtFleurs, our Make Your Own Bouquet experience lets you design every detail, from the flowers to the finishing touches, to reflect exactly what you feel.
Here’s how you can create a custom bouquet that truly speaks from the heart.
1. Understand the Language of Flowers
Each flower carries a hidden meaning. Knowing what they represent can help you build a bouquet that tells your story.
· Roses – Classic red roses stand for love and passion, while pink ones express admiration or gratitude. Yellow roses bring cheer and symbolize friendship.
· Lilies – White lilies speak of purity and remembrance, while stargazer lilies show ambition and success.
· Carnations – These come in many colors, but pink carnations symbolize a mother’s love, and red ones convey admiration.
· Chrysanthemums – In India, they’re often linked to long life and happiness. A great choice for celebrations and well-wishes.
· Orchids – Exotic and elegant, they signify strength, beauty, and luxury.
· Sunflowers – Bright and bold, these symbolize positivity and warmth. Perfect for birthdays or to cheer someone up.
2. Choose a Focal Point
Start with one or two flowers that capture your core message. Want to say "I love you"? Begin with red roses or orchids. Saying "thank you"? Go for pink lilies or carnations. This becomes the center of your bouquet both visually and emotionally.
3. Add Meaningful Fillers and Greens
Foliage and fillers bring texture and balance to your arrangement. Baby’s breath (symbolizing everlasting love), eucalyptus (healing and protection), and ferns (sincerity) add deeper layers to your message.
Don't underestimate the power of greenery it’s the soul of your bouquet’s composition.
4. Play with Color to Match the Mood
Color plays a huge role in how your bouquet is received.
· Romantic: Deep reds, blush pinks, and soft whites.
· Gratitude or Friendship: Orange, peach, and sunny yellows.
· Celebration: Bright combinations like purples, pinks, and corals.
· Calm and Peaceful: Whites, creams, and soft blues.
You can even match colors to your recipient’s personality or favorite shades for an added touch of thoughtfulness.
5. Select the Right Packaging
At AtFleurs, you can choose to present your bouquet in a hand wrap, a designer box, or a sleek glass vase.
· Paper wrap: Great for casual, romantic, or heartfelt gifts.
· Box: Gives a modern and premium look ideal for birthdays, corporate gifting, or celebrations.
· Vase: Perfect for home décor or longer-lasting arrangements.
The packaging should reflect the tone softer for personal moments, sleek and clean for more formal occasions.
6. Add a Personal Note
Sometimes, a simple handwritten note seals the emotion. A few words expressing what the bouquet means to you or why you chose each element can make it unforgettable.
