Flower Code: The Art of a Beautiful Bouquet

Creating a bouquet is like mixing magic! Colours, textures, and shapes all come together to form something stunning. The Bloomroom team is going to show you how to create a stylish and eye-catching bouquet using our core products; carnations, roses, gerberas, chrysanthemums, and limonium. Whether you’re a florist or specialist, this guide will help you make something truly special. 

Step 1: Pick Your Colours and Flowers

Before you start, decide on the mood you want for your bouquet:

Romantic and soft?
Bright and cheerful?
Warm and cozy?

Here’s what you’ll need:

Roses – Elegant and expressive.
Carnations – Light and textured.
Gerberas – Bold and full of energy.
Chrysanthemums – Soft and long-lasting.
Limonium – Delicate and airy.

Tip: Carnations and gerberas are great as a base because they hold their shape well, while roses and chrysanthemums add depth and layers.

Step 2: Prep Your Flowers

Before arranging, make sure your flowers are ready to last!

• Remove lower leaves (prevent them from decaying in the water).

• Cut stems at a 45° angle and put them in water, for at least an hour.

• Using gerberas, place them on a grid to help them soak up water.

This little prep step makes a big difference in keeping your bouquet fresh!

Step 5. Keep it fresh

Make your bouquet last longer with these easy-care tips:

• Change the water every two days.

• Trim the stems slightly to help them absorb water.

• Keep away from fruit! (Fruits release ethylene, which makes flowers wilt faster.)

• Avoid direct sunlight and sudden temperature changes.

Step 3: The Spiral Technique

The spiral technique gives your bouquet a natural, flowing look.

• Start with the center flowers - carnations and roses set the height.

• Rotate as you go – Add gerberas and chrysanthemums at different levels for a balanced effect.

• Fill the gaps – Use limonium for a light, airy touch.

• Add greenery – Eucalyptus or other leaves create depth and texture.

Pro tip: Leave small gaps between flowers! A slightly “loose” bouquet looks more natural and elegant than one packed too tightly.

Step 4: Secure and Wrap

Once your bouquet is looking great, it’s time to finish it off.

• Tie it up – Use floral tape or twine to keep everything in place.

• Go minimal with wrapping – Try kraft paper, soft fabric, or even leave it unwrapped for a modern look.

• Keeping it fresh? – If it’s a gift, add a little water ampoule to keep the flowers hydrated.
