A Bouquet of Flowers for Every Occasion, Hand-Tied and Delivered Same-Day
From a single hand-tied posy to a fifty-rose statement, here is how to choose the right flower bouquet for the person, the moment and the budget.
What Is The 3:5:8 Rule For Bouquets?
The 3:5:8 rule is the florist's framework for a balanced hand-tied bouquet: 3 focal flowers (the eye-catchers, usually large blooms like peonies, hydrangeas or open roses), 5 secondary flowers (mid-size supporting blooms like spray roses, lisianthus or ranunculus), and 8 filler stems (greenery and texture like eucalyptus, baby's breath, or wax flower). Our florists at the Claremont studio apply this rule to every Florist Choice Bouquet, which is why even our smallest hand-tied feels finished.
How Much Does A Bouquet Of Flowers Cost In South Africa?
Bouquet prices in South Africa range from R350 for a small hand-tied posy up to R3,500+ for a luxury statement bouquet. At Fabulous Flowers, our hand-tied bouquets sit in three clear bands: flower bouquets under R500 for everyday gestures, flower bouquets R500-R999 for birthdays, anniversaries and meaningful sends, and luxury flower bouquets for milestone moments. Spend on the moment, not the size. A small bouquet with a real handwritten note lands deeper than a generic supermarket bunch picked at the till.
What Are The Different Types Of Bouquets?
Most bouquets fall into one of seven hand-tied formats. Each suits a different occasion and recipient.
| Bouquet style | Best for |
|---|---|
| Round (posy) bouquet | Birthdays, just-because, thank-yous |
| Hand-tied bouquet | Most occasions, the modern standard |
| Cascade (waterfall) bouquet | Weddings, formal events |
| Crescent bouquet | Editorial sends, modern weddings |
| Pomander | Junior bridesmaids and flower girls |
| Single-stem (presentation) | Pageants, ceremonies, awards |
| Garden / wild bouquet | Trending modern style, seasonal sends |
Our most-ordered formats are the round hand-tied and the loose garden hand-tied. Browse the full bouquet range or filter by flowers by type.
