DIY ‘Spring Vibes’ Easter Basket

There’s nothing like an egg hunt to make it feel like Easter. Instead of admiring the changing colors and fresh spring vibes from inside your home, bring that freshness in with you by making this floral decorative Easter basket! We used our tulip Bouq ‘Strength’ and some moss to transform this basket into a portable Easter party! Here’s how we made it: Materials: A deep basket Styrofoam blocks Moss Tulips Ribbon Steps Soak the styrofoam blocks in water so that the flower stems can be inserted easily. Fit the styrofoam blocks inside the basket, cutting them if necessarily to make sure they fit snuggly. Cover the styrofoam with moss. Trim the stems of your flowers down so that they are between 3-5”. Start inserting the flowers into the styrofoam blocks, pushing them down so that only the flower buds are peaking out. Repeat all around the top of the basket so that it is fully covered in flowers. Decorate the handle with ribbon. We’re sure this basket will be a hit at any celebration, and you will definitely be the favorite with all the little peeps! Share what you’re up to this Easter by tagging your Bouqs with #Bouqlove.

National Admin’s Day: Q&A with Our Favorite Bouqaneer Johnny Serna

This April 24th, join us and celebrate the hard work that all our precious admins everywhere in the world! By definition, an admin is a worker who provides support to a company – so anything including general office management, answering phones, speaking with business clients, helping out an employer, and other clerical tasks. If you have a rockstar in your office that deserves some recognition for all that they do, we want to especially give them a shout-out for being just all-around great! At The Bouqs Co., our very own Johnny Serna talks a bit more about his job title, what he loves about his work, and what he does after hours! Find out more below. Q: Tell us about yourself!

Everything You Need to Know About Freesia

Freesias definitely aren’t like any other flowers out there—they’re simply one-of-a-kind. In fact, if you take a stroll through any garden, you’ll be hard-pressed to find another flower that can match their uniqueness and eye-catching beauty. Literally nothing about them is typical! Take their weird and wonderful anatomy, for example. The bizarreness starts at the root, which looks almost identical to a common flower bulb… but uh, it’s underground (odd, right?). And from the root, the stem shoots up vertically from the ground only to strangely start growing sideways at a 90-degree angle. From those gravity-defying horizontal stems, delicate blossoms start to take shape, accompanied by mesmerizing sword-shaped leaves that add just the perfect touch of green. We’ll just say this: freesias are next-level attractive and boast a singular style that would make even the most dynamic pop star jealous! So now that you know what makes freesias so physically charming, we’re going to give you a bunch of juicy freesia facts to chew on. Trust us – they’ll make you look at freesias in a whole new light—in a good way, of course!   Freesia Petals are a Common Ingredient in Cosmetics For decades, freesia petals have been a […]

Which Spring Flowers Are Best for Your Bouquet?

Spring is a great time of year—the warm weather, the much-needed vacays, and, of course, all the gorgeous flowers in full bloom. And if you’re anything like us, you’re going to want to have some stunning spring flowers on hand at all times, so your home is always decked out in awesome floral charm. In that’s the case and you grab a fresh cut Bouq of any of these spring flowers, we’re sure you’ll be blown away. Or hey, maybe you could go bold and snag a handcrafted Bouq designed by an artisan florist that mixes and matches a bunch of different spring blossoms. That’s how we like to roll at least!   Best Spring Flowers: Tulips Daisies Peonies Freesia Lilac Daffodils Azalea Tulips Any flower that has the power to cause the world’s first financial bubble definitely deserves a spot on this list. And that’s exactly what tulips did in the 1600s in Holland. People fell so crazy in love with them that the price of one tulip shot up to as much as a house on an Amsterdam canal. People literally lost their life savings just to get their hands on super in-demand tulips. That’s how beautiful they […]
