Review// The Bouqs

Why send some boring bouquet, when you can send a Bouq?!

While I was at BlogHer in July, I met some awesome people that work for The Bouqs, a floral company based in Los Angeles. The Bouqs ships fresh flowers directly from a live volcano. What??! Yes. You heard that right!

The flowers are GORGEOUS. I had the opportunity to receive a free bouquet for review on my blog and share some images of my floral journey! Here is their video spot. Then check out my pretty flowers below!

The Petal Arrival

My flowers arrived promptly via FedEx! FYI: Make sure that someone is on hand to sign for these gorgeous petals, otherwise they will have to redeliver. It is quite hot here in the Central Valley and my poor Bouqs had to sit on the FedEx truck all day!

Regardless, they arrived and were in pretty great shape!

I ordered the "Peace" Bouquet

It consisted of 12 roses with darling purple flowers as an accent. I was so excited about the arrival of my flowers. I must also add that I am a stickler for design and aesthetics. The simplicity of The Bouqs brand is profound. I really love their imagery and how cool is it that my flowers were picked fresh from the farm off of a volcano?! I still can't get over that. 

My favorite part? Aside from the flowers, was the infographic printed on the box! Simple instructions! I am not the best with plants, they don't last very long with me. So I love this!

Fresh out the box!

Day 1

Day 1

It was really simple to get them prepped. I wrapped a black sparkly piece of ribbon around a Ball mason jar, trimmed my flowers, added water & food, and dropped them in the vase!

Voila! Instant cheer for my office. :)

Day 5 - They are gorgeous!
