The Bouqs Company

I came across the Bouqs Company  when searching for a Mother's Day bouquet. I was intrigued by the company's business plan. Flowers are cut when a customer orders one of forty four showcased bouquets. Bouquets typically arrive four days after being cut. Axing the middleman and shipping straight from the farm allows customers to receive fresher flowers that will last longer. The company also claims to practice sustainable, eco-friendly farming whereby flowers are only cut when ordered. Additionally, employees who work on the flower farm receive healthcare, adult education, and competitive wages. I like knowing where my flowers are coming from and that the people whose efforts cheered up my day are hopefully really being taken care of. 

Having received lackluster flowers that don't adequately bloom in the past, I decided to see if flowers ordered straight from a farm would last and actually bloom. I chose the Swiss Family bouquet, which was a combination of pink and white roses. Customers have a choice between a single, double, or triple bouq. I opted for the double, i.e., one dozen roses. The more roses the merrier. Each tier has a set price which includes shipping.  Love that all costs are calculated into one price.

Love how flowers instantly change the atmosphere of a room.

One and a half weeks later.Beautifully opening up.

Just shy of three weeks, the white roses have proven to be willful little blooms. 

As you can see, the flowers definitely had lasting power. The pink roses lasted just over two weeks. A number of the white roses are still gracing us with their beauty nearly three weeks later. Upon receiving the roses, they didn't seem like they would actually last that long or bloom as beautifully as they did. I was happily proven wrong. Needless to say, my mom loved the bouquet.
