Flower Bouquets

Flower Bouquets, Hand-Tied Fresh the Morning They Go Out

A bouquet of flowers is rarely about the flowers. It is about the person holding them, and the small silence just before they say thank you. We have spent since 1999 getting that moment right, one hand-tied bunch at a time, and we still build every bouquet fresh the morning it goes out. Nothing sits in a fridge waiting. Nothing is pre-packed. Your flowers are cut, conditioned and tied by a real florist, then driven to the door by our own team.

A Bouquet of Flowers for Whatever You Cannot Say

Some bunches carry a message the card cannot. A birthday flowers send says I remembered and I am glad you were born. Anniversary flowers say the same thing you said years ago, only softer. When someone is unwell, get well soon flowers sit by the bed and do the visiting you cannot. There are congratulations flowers for the wins, romantic flowers for the quiet in-between, and sympathy flowers for the times there are no words at all. If you are not sure which bunch fits the moment, our guide to choosing your perfect bouquet walks you through it.

Our Most-Loved Flower Bouquets

When people cannot decide, they trust our florist to decide for them, and the Florist Choice Bouquet is our most-ordered send for exactly that reason. For something with a gathered-from-the-garden feel, the Country Garden Bouquet and the Brilliantly Happy Bouquet are hard to beat. The Pink Expression Bouquet leans soft and romantic, the Bright Sunshine Bouquet is pure good mood, and the Wild and Free Bouquet suits anyone who likes things a little untamed. For elegance, the Classic White Bouquet and Pure Elegance Bouquet never look wrong, and the Lush and Lovely Bouquet and Gratitude Bouquet are the ones people buy to say a proper thank you.

Big Bouquets, Small Bouquets and a Price for Every Moment

A bouquet does not need to be enormous to land well, and it does not need to be small to be affordable. Our flower bouquets under R500 prove a modest bunch still makes someone's whole day, while the flower bouquets from R500 to R999 are our sweet spot for a gift that feels generous without overthinking it. When the moment is bigger, go big: the 50 Red Rose Bouquet is the kind of statement nobody forgets, and the Distinctly Dreamy Bouquet brings drama in softer tones.

Our round-up of 100 bouquet ideas and our guide to choosing the right bouquet for any event are a good browse.

Bouquets by Flower Type, From Roses to Proteas

Sometimes you already know exactly which flower you want. For the classics, our roses and dedicated rose bouquets cover everything from a single-colour dozen to the Red Rose and Greenery Bouquet and the Romantic Splendour Bouquet. For something brighter, our sunflowers and sunflower bouquets bring instant warmth. In season, our peonies and peony bouquets are the ones women quietly hope for. And for a proudly South African send, our protea bouquets and protea flowers last beautifully and travel well. Add lily bouquets or tulip bouquets for something a little different. Our guide to red roses, our feature on proteas, and our round-up of the world's best-smelling flowers help you pick with confidence.

Turn a Bouquet Into a Gift

Flowers on their own are lovely. Flowers with a little something extra feel like real thought went in. Pair any bunch with one of our gift boxes or a gift hamper, or shop the ready-made pairings in our gifts for her and gift boxes for women ranges. For a properly spoiling send, our luxury Cape Town gift hampers add chocolate, bubbles or a candle to the flowers. The soft, layered Luxury Lavender Garden Bouquet and the fresh Spring Personified Bouquet both pair beautifully. If they travel or you want something that lasts for months, our silk and artificial flowers keep the bloom without the upkeep.

How Our Florists Build a Bouquet

There is real craft behind a bunch that looks effortless. Our florists work to the old design principle of odd numbers, grouping stems in threes, fives and eights so the eye reads the bouquet as natural rather than staged. They balance a focal flower against filler and foliage, match tones to the season, and condition every stem so it drinks properly before it is tied. It is the same instinct behind the Berry Bloom Bouquet and the Mixed Rose Bouquet, where nothing is random. To keep your flowers looking their best once they arrive, our flower care guide and our notes on caring for flowers in a vase are worth a read, and our fun facts about flowers make good card-writing material.

Same-Day and Nationwide Bouquet Delivery

Left it late? We are used to that. Order fresh flowers before 12pm, Monday to Saturday, for same-day delivery across Cape Town and Johannesburg, driven by our own team, not a courier handoff.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 3 5 8 rule for flowers?

The 3 5 8 rule is a florist's guide to grouping flowers in odd numbers, threes, fives or eights, because odd-numbered clusters look more natural and balanced to the eye than even ones. It stops an arrangement looking stiff or too symmetrical. Our florists use the same principle when hand-tying every bouquet, which is part of why they read as gathered rather than assembled.

How much is a bouquet of flowers?

It depends on the flowers and the size. Our range runs from bouquets under R500 for a lovely everyday send, through the R500 to R999 band that most people choose for a gift, up to luxury statement bouquets above R1,000 for the big moments. A florist's choice bouquet is usually the best value, because we build it around the freshest stems in the studio that morning.

How much does a bouquet of 100 flowers cost?

A hundred-stem bouquet, like 100 roses, is a premium statement piece and sits at the very top of the range. The exact price depends on the flower and the season, since a hundred fresh roses is a serious quantity to source at peak quality. Our largest in-stock statement bouquet is the 50 Red Rose Bouquet, and for a full hundred-stem send it is best to contact our Claremont studio directly so we can quote and prepare it properly.

What do 12 flowers in a bouquet mean?

A bouquet of 12, most traditionally a dozen red roses, is the classic way to say I am yours and my feelings are complete. The number twelve carries a sense of wholeness, which is why a dozen roses is the go-to for anniversaries, Valentine's Day and serious romance. Other counts carry meaning too: a single stem says you are the one, and six says I want to be yours.

What is the best flower bouquet to send?

The safest brilliant choice is a florist's choice bouquet, because it is built from whatever is freshest and most beautiful on the day. If you want to match the flower to the message, red roses say love, sunflowers say happiness, peonies say luxury and romance, and proteas say something proudly local and long-lasting. Tell us the occasion in the order notes and we will steer the bunch to suit it.

Do you deliver flower bouquets same-day?

Yes. Order fresh flowers before 12pm, Monday to Saturday, and we deliver the same afternoon across Cape Town and Johannesburg using our own drivers. Outside those two metros, our gift boxes, hampers and silk bouquets ship nationwide within 2 to 4 business days. Fresh flowers in the two main cities are always your fastest option if you have left it late.
