Pro tip: Want to kick it up a notch? Go for long-stemmed roses. They’re like the supermodels of the rose world - tall, elegant, and guaranteed to turn heads.

Rose Bouquet: A Rainbow of Emotions

Why stick to one colour when roses come in more shades than your favourite eyeshadow palette? A mixed rose bouquet is like sending a whole conversation in flower form. Pink roses whisper "You're awesome mom and I admire you," yellow roses shout "Let's be besties forever," and white roses murmur "I'm sorry mom, I ate the last slice of pizza."

From cascading masterpieces that look like floral waterfalls to chic, minimalist posies, your bridal bouquet is the ultimate accessory. Just remember - it’s a bouquet, not a weapon, no matter how tempting it is to throw it at your mother-in-law!

Wedding Bouquets: Flower Power for the Whole Squad

Why should the bride have all the fun? Wedding bouquets are like the supporting cast in your floral rom-com. Bridesmaids' flower bouquets add pops of colour and style, while the flower girl's petite posy is cute enough to make even your grumpy Oom Bob crack a smile. And let's not forget the groom's boutonnière - because real men wear flowers, especially on their wedding day!

Money Bouquet: When Blooms Meet Benjamins or the Rands
