What Is in the Loose and Lovely Arrangement

A deliberately mixed palette, built to feel gathered rather than arranged. Tall blue delphinium give it height and a clean vertical line, pink gerberas and velvety cockscomb bring shape and texture, orange roses and orange alstroemeria warm it up, and purple lisianthus softens the whole thing at the edges. It reads as many colours at once, blue, pink, orange and purple, which is exactly why it lifts a room. If you love the colour more than the form, our pink flowers and lisianthus collections carry the same brightness, and for a mixed bunch with roses at the centre, our mixed rose bouquet is the one to send.

What Is a Loose Flower Arrangement

A loose flower arrangement is one designed in a relaxed, garden-gathered style rather than a tight, symmetrical dome, so the blooms sit at different heights and the whole thing feels natural and unforced. It is the difference between a formal centrepiece and a handful of flowers that looks like it was just picked, only balanced by a florist's eye for line, form, colour and texture. Loose and Lovely is our take on it, and it sits among the rest of our ready-to-give gift hampers for the occasions that call for a little colour.

When to Send the Loose and Lovely Arrangement

Send it when the moment calls for colour and character. It is a favourite birthday arrangement, a joyful anniversary gift that parents seem to love going by our reviews, and a perfect just because surprise for someone who deserves a lift. If you want the same artful, mixed feeling in another shape, our Harmony flower arrangement plays it softer, our Rhapsody arrangement leans into pinks and lilacs, and our Sunflower Posy brings the sunshine. Not sure which to send, our guide on how to choose the perfect bouquet for any event and our help on choosing your perfect bouquet will settle it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is in the Loose and Lovely Flower Arrangement?

A loose, colourful vase arrangement of blue delphinium, pink gerberas, velvety cockscomb, orange roses, orange alstroemeria and purple lisianthus. Exact blooms shift a little with the season, as any honest arrangement does, but the loose, multicolour style is the point and it stays.

What is a loose flower arrangement?

A loose flower arrangement is designed in a relaxed, garden-gathered style rather than a tight, symmetrical dome. The blooms sit at different heights so it feels natural and unforced, balanced by a florist's eye for line, form, colour and texture. Loose and Lovely is our version.

Will it look like the photo?

Yes. It is the thing our customers mention most, that it arrives looking exactly like the picture. Fresh flowers vary a little with the season, so the odd bloom may differ, but we match the colour, shape and feel closely, and our team will contact you before delivery if anything major changes.

Where do you deliver the Loose and Lovely arrangement?

Cape Town and Johannesburg, same day, when you order before 12pm from Monday to Saturday. It is a fresh vase arrangement, hand-delivered in both cities, so it arrives fresh and in person rather than couriered.

How long will the arrangement last?

Expect five to seven days, and longer with a little care. Top up the water every day or two, keep it out of direct sun and away from heaters and the fruit bowl, and give any stems a fresh slanted cut if you move them. Our flower care guide has the full method.

What occasions is Loose and Lovely good for?

Birthdays, anniversaries, just because, congratulations and Mother's Day. Its colour makes it a joyful, celebratory gift rather than a formal one, which is why it works so well as a surprise for her, for a friend, or for parents marking a milestone.

Fabulous Flowers and Gifts Fresh Flowers Care Instructions

Fresh Flowers

Find a Vase: Your lovely blooms need a drink! Put them in your favourite vase with fresh water as soon as possible.

Trim Those Stems: Keep those stems fresh by cutting them at an angle. This allows more water up the stem. Checking and trimming the stems every few days will keep them sound.

Gently Strip Leaves: Remove any excess leaves, especially from the part of the stem that will be submerged. This helps to avoid rot and bacteria, which can shorten your flowers life span.

Remove Old Blooms: Drooping flowers release ethylene gas, which may accelerate the aging of other flowers. Strip off any dead or dying flowers to keep the rest of the bouquet looking bright and fresh.

Keep Them Cool: Place your flowers away from heat sources such as heaters, televisions, or ovens to retain the beauty of your flowers.

Clean Water: Always place your flowers in clean water. Refresh your vase with water daily or at least every second day.

Gift Boxes

Storage Tips: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to keep contents in perfect condition.

Handling with Care: Handle this box gently so as not to damage the delicate items inside.

Freshening: If your gift includes foods or beverages, please refer to the individual product use-by and expiry dates and the informational materials regarding storage recommendations:

Plants

Watering: Ensure your plants are hydrated but avoid overwatering. Check the soil moisture regularly and water it when the top inch feels dry.

Light: Place your plants in a spot where they receive the appropriate amount of light. Some prefer bright, indirect light, while others thrive in low-light conditions.

Feeding: Feed your plants with a balanced fertiliser every few weeks during the growing season to keep them healthy and vibrant.

Pruning: Regularly remove dead leaves and trim back overgrown branches to encourage new growth and maintain the plant shape.

Humidity: Some plants thrive in high humidity. If needed, mist your plants occasionally or place a humidifier nearby to create a favourable environment.

Artificial Flowers and Plants

Dusting: Your artificial flowers and botanicals should be lightly dusted regularly with a soft cloth or feather duster.

Light Washing: For deeper cleaning, please use a cloth lightly dampened with water and a small amount of mild detergent. Gently wipe the leaves and petals.

Avoid Direct: Sunlight Do not place under direct sunlight in order to prevent colours from fading.

Fluff and Arrange: Just fluff up petals and leaves to remain fluffy. Set them in position as desired to look natural.

Personalize: Gift your flowers, Gift Boxes, and Artificial Flowers and Plants with the Care They Deserve; they will be a Source of Joy and Elegance for you. The charm of fresh flowers, the delight of a thoughtful gift box, and the endless beauty of an artificial plant all special moments created by Fabulous Flowers and Gifts.
