Sharing Random Acts of Happiness with Scarlett’s Sunshine

#Bouqlove is all about sharing the joy of flowers with our families, friends, and YOU. This month, we are featuring a very special #Bouqlove story that honors an incredible girl who has inspired random acts of kindness around her Florida community. Lifetime’s Military Makeover is a show hosted by Montel Williams that supports military families in various ways all across the country. The latest episode that aired on April 19 featured the Middleton family, whose father Aaron is in the Marine Corps. Aaron and his wife Holly have four beautiful children: Trott, Scarlett, Magnolia, and Kelvin. This family has already faced many obstacles as they build their lives together. Their newborn son Kelvin has undergone many surgeries after being diagnosed with holes in his lungs. Shortly after the surgeries he was stricken with a terrible infection that he has only recently started to overcome. Tragically, last year their five-year-old daughter Scarlett passed away suddenly after an undiagnosed illness. This terrible event has shaken the family to its core. Scarlett loved sunshine and flowers, and as a way to honor her late daughter Holly started the Scarlett’s Sunshine charity which seeks to spreading random acts of kindness to everyone in the […]

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.

This April 24th, join us and celebrate the hard work that all our precious admins everywhere in the world!

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 […]
