An elegantly designed bouquet of flowers is considered a wonderful gift, which can make anyone happy on a holiday. The created composition can be decorated with various materials: foamiran, foil, organza, film and other decorative packaging.

Types of packaging for bouquets

Floristic materials intended for decorating flower bouquets are natural and artificial. The first type includes leaves, as well as branches and vines.

Packaging bouquets in foamiran, organza, foil, felt, crepe, kraft paper, linen and other materials is considered an artificial floral product. Each type is characterized by the following features:

Kraft paper. It can be decorative or transport, and also with a print or inscription. Since it is paper, it can get wet if water from the stems gets on it. Therefore, the bouquet cannot be placed in a vase in the packaging material. To do this, you will have to lift or completely remove the lower part of the artificial product. When decorating a composition, kraft paper is combined with other types of packaging.

Flax. It is a beautiful canvas with a soft texture that harmonizes with any colors. The material can be monochromatic, with various images and inscriptions.
Organza. It is a synthetic packaging with a shiny or matte surface. Suitable for decorating bouquets, as well as baskets and gift boxes. The rigid material holds its shape well, as it is coated with a moisture-resistant impregnation.

Film. The advantage of synthetic material is that it can protect flowers during transportation and can also create a humid microclimate for flower crops.
Gift and colored paper. It can be sheet, single-color, corrugated, compressed, waffle or supplemented with various thematic images. Korean paper is in great demand, which is easy to deform, giving the bouquet a beautiful look.
Net. It is an artificial packaging material with a varied structure. Thanks to this, bouquets turn out mysterious, festive, fragile and tender.
Felt. It is a material for floristry, which is quite dense, soft and light. It is used to create tall and voluminous bouquets.

Foil. It is considered a very thin metal material that gives the bouquet an elegant appearance.

The filling should be placed in the box and the bouquet should be placed on top.
Afterwards, the box needs to be tied with ribbon.

Packing bouquets in foamiran and other floristic material will not allow preserving flowers for a long period of time. If it is packed in a hat box, it can stand for 3 days from the moment of decoration.

How to give bouquets different shapes

Packing bouquets in foamiran and other artificial materials allows you to give the flower arrangement any shape.

Elongated	Characterized by the simplicity of assembly using parallel technology. For this, the stems of flowers are laid very tightly to each other.
Round	It is considered the most popular because it is very easy to make from a variety of flowers. The bouquet is made in a spiral so that the flower heads touch each other at the top.
Ball	To decorate the flower arrangement, piaflor is used, which is considered a special floral foam. Flowers cover the foam from the outside, creating an elegant flower arrangement.

Combination of flowers in a bouquet

Flowers in a bouquet should not only match in color, but also look great with each other, coexisting in one container.

It is not recommended to combine the following crops:

carnations with lilies of the valley;
lilies with daffodils;
lilies with roses and carnations;
poppies with cornflowers and lilies.

Because of this, the plants will begin to wilt very quickly.

Recommendations for combining flowers into bouquets:

Rose is considered a capricious flower, so in bouquets it is usually supplemented only with decorative greenery in the form of fir branches, palm or fern leaves or asparagus. As a result, the composition will be complete and balanced. However, roses can be combined with gerberas, chrysanthemums and lilies.
Lilies are combined only with those crops that do not oppress it. Therefore, the flower is combined with daisies, primroses, peonies, phloxes and irises.
Despite the fact that peonies are quite lush, they are complemented with small inflorescences. For these purposes, it is recommended to use forget-me-nots, matthiola, marigolds or daisies.
Sunflowers do not get along with other plants in one flower arrangement. As a decoration, you can use only their own broad foliage.
Carnations can be combined with dahlias, crocuses, asters and chrysanthemums. Beargrass or thorny ruscus branches can be used to decorate the bouquet.
Gerberas, which look like large, colorful daisies, can be complemented with wild flowers, chrysanthemums or roses.

Packaging for flower bouquets must satisfy aesthetic needs, and also have some protective properties that will help protect flowers from various damages.

There are various packaging materials on sale that can implement any ideas for composing compositions. Foamiran is in high demand, which can act not only as packaging, but also as a material for making artificial flowers.
