Country Garden Bouquet: A Meadow in Your Hands, Hand-Tied in Claremont

The Country Garden Bouquet is our best-selling wild meadow-style bouquet, hand-tied in our Claremont studio from a seasonal pick of pink and pastel blooms with airy garden greenery. Built for the person who wants something that looks gathered rather than arranged, soft rather than formal, and made by hand rather than assembled. Rated 4.9 out of 5 across 75 Loox reviews, and trusted by 5,800+ customers across Google, Trustpilot and Loox.

What Is In the Country Garden Bouquet

• Pink and pastel seasonal focal blooms chosen at the Cape morning market. Expect roses, snapdragons, lisianthus, chrysanthemums, alstroemeria or stocks depending on the week.
• Airy garden filler such as wax flower, statice, sea lavender, gypsophila or pink lace, for that just-picked-from-the-garden feel.
• Soft seasonal greenery typically silver eucalyptus, salal, or pittosporum to frame the bouquet.
• Hand-tied with raffia or jute and wrapped in soft tissue or kraft, ready to gift or unwrap straight into a vase.
• Optional glass vase arrangement if you want it to arrive ready to display, choose one of the three vase variants at checkout.

The Country Garden Bouquet is a seasonal hand-tie. The exact mix of flowers changes week to week based on what is peak at the market. We honour the palette, the wild gathered feel, and the size you choose at all times. If a specific flower in the photo is briefly out of season, we substitute with a like-for-like bloom in the same tone and shape, and confirm by email before dispatch.

Six Sizes to Choose From

• Small Bouquet a sweet hand-tie for an everyday gift or thoughtful gesture.
• Medium Bouquet our most-ordered size, generous and pretty.
• Large Bouquet (As Shown) the full version photographed on this page, an abundant statement bouquet.
• Small Vase Arrangement the small hand-tie pre-arranged in a glass vase, ready to display.
• Medium Vase Arrangement our medium bouquet in a glass vase, low-effort gifting at its best.
• Large Vase Arrangement the showstopper, large bouquet pre-arranged in a vase.

When To Send the Country Garden Bouquet

This bouquet sells across every soft occasion. It is one of our top picks for a birthday gift for her, a warm just because flowers moment, a soft anniversary send, a thoughtful thank-you bouquet, or a generous Mother's Day bouquet. The meadow-style aesthetic also makes it a regular choice for country and bohemian Cape Town weddings, set in jars down a long table or carried as a bridal bouquet.

The Story Behind the Bouquet

We built the Country Garden Bouquet for the customers who told us their favourite gardens are the ones that look like they grew themselves. Not the hedged, weeded, formal kind, but the cottage and country gardens of the Cape where flowers spill into each other and a path disappears into a wisteria arch. We wanted a bouquet that captured that exact feeling, hand-tied loose and airy, soft pink and pastel, with no flower trying too hard. Six years and 75 five-star reviews later, it remains one of our most-ordered bouquets.

Meadow in colour, garden in spirit, hand in feel. The bouquet that looks like it grew that way.

Frequently Asked Questions

What flowers are in the Country Garden Bouquet?

A seasonal pick of pink and pastel blooms with airy filler and soft greenery. Common inclusions are roses, lisianthus, snapdragons, chrysanthemums, alstroemeria, wax flower, statice and silver eucalyptus.

What is the difference between the bouquet and vase arrangement variants?

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.
