Inside the Box: Flowers and Greens’ take on Box Arrangement

Let us forget about bouquets for now and talk about something inside the box.

Believe it or not, the history of flower arrangement can be traced back around 2500 BC when Egyptians used them as tomb decorations as well as in homes. The early Greeks and Romans also made use of flowers to beautify houses for special occasions. Nevertheless, arranging flowers in vases found its golden days during the Victorian era when they began to distinguish flowers based on meanings, texture and colors.

In the recent time, hand tied bouquets are perhaps the most popular type of arrangement. However, people constantly crave for changes in the name of flavor and uniqueness, and sometimes practicality. And so the birth of box arrangement.

It’s literally flowers arranged either in a rectangular or circular box. With carefully selected combinations of flowers, their texture and colors, a box arrangement can be a perfect gift for any occasion, or even if there is no special occasion at all. Aside from being elegant, this one is very easy to carry unlike the bulky bouquet which gets a lot of unsolicited attention.This is a practical reason for men who happen to receive one.

In our shop at Flowers and Greens in Lipa City, Batangas, there is a growing popular demand for box arrangement both for customers ordering flowers online and by phone, and those who personally pick them.

So how about you? Are you a loyal bouquet lover or have you come to like this one inside the box?
