Baby Breath Bouquet

Baby Breath Bouquet: A Quiet Cloud of Pure White Gypsophila

Some flowers shout. Baby's breath whispers. This pure white gypsophila bouquet is the soft cloud of tiny blooms brides have carried down the aisle for a hundred years, and the gentle gesture friends send when words feel like too much. Hand-tied at our Claremont studio since 1999, finished with a clean satin ribbon, ready to be carried into a chapel, placed on a kitchen table, or laid across the bed of a friend who needs to feel held.

Why Choose Our Baby Breath Bouquet

• Pure white gypsophila. A single-flower bouquet built around the soft, cloud-like blooms that have anchored Cape Town weddings, christenings and sympathy moments for generations.
• Hand-tied by real florists. Built by our team in our Claremont studio, finished with a satin ribbon and ready to carry, photograph or display.
• Versatile in meaning. The same bouquet works as a bridal posy, a bridesmaid bouquet, a sympathy gesture, a christening gift, or simply a soft white moment for the kitchen table.
• Long-lasting cut life. Baby's breath holds its form for seven to fourteen days fresh, and dries beautifully if you want to keep it as a wedding-day keepsake.
• Loox five-star reviewed. Backed by thousands of South African customer reviews that confirm what you see is what they get.

What's in the Bouquet

A generous gathering of fresh white gypsophila stems, hand-tied at the binding point, finished with a clean white satin ribbon. The bouquet arrives wrapped in cream paper, ready to be placed in a vase of fresh water, carried as a wedding piece, or handed directly to the recipient. Stems are conditioned and trimmed to last. Browse our wider baby's breath collection for paired arrangements, or the white flowers range for matching gifts.

Same Day Delivery in Cape Town and Johannesburg

Order before 12pm South African time and your baby's breath bouquet will be hand-tied and delivered the same day across Cape Town and Johannesburg. We deliver to the chapel, the venue, the family home or the funeral parlour, depending on the moment. For weddings, we coordinate with your planner or venue directly. For the rest of South Africa, our nationwide silk flowers range carries the same look in long-lasting form, including our Gypsophila White Artificial Flowers for permanent display.

Perfect for Weddings, Sympathy and Quiet Moments

Cape Town brides reach for baby's breath because it photographs cleanly against every venue, pairs with every dress, and holds up through a full ceremony day. Sympathy senders reach for it because it carries the right weight without saying too much. New mothers and christening families reach for it because it reads as soft and innocent. As your wedding florist in Cape Town, we hand-tie bridal pieces, bridesmaid bouquets and ceremony installations from our Claremont studio. For sympathy use, see our wider sympathy flowers range, and for new-baby gifting, browse our baby shower flowers.

How to Care for Your Baby's Breath

Recut the stems at a 45-degree angle when the bouquet arrives. Place in fresh, clean water in a clean vase. Change the water every two days and recut the stems each time. Keep the bouquet out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources. With this care, your baby's breath will last between seven and fourteen days fresh. To preserve it as a keepsake, hang the bouquet upside-down in a cool, dark, dry spot for two to three weeks. The flowers will hold their shape and most of their colour for years.

Make Every Moment Special with Fabulous Flowers

A pure baby's breath bouquet is more than a flower order. It is the gesture you make when you want to say something true without raising your voice. Hand-tied by our florists in our Claremont studio and delivered with the care the moment deserves.

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's 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's 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.

Please Note: Due to the seasonal nature of flowers and availability of specific items, the contents of our bouquets and gift boxes may vary throughout the year. We strive to substitute any unavailable items with products of equal or greater value, ensuring that every gift you receive is fresh, beautiful, and of the highest quality.
