Pairing Large Bouquets with Gifts and Experiences
A large bouquet contains significantly more stems and a greater variety of blooms than a standard arrangement, resulting in a fuller, more dramatic visual impact. Where a standard bouquet might include twelve to eighteen stems, a large bouquet typically features twenty-five to forty stems or more, depending on the specific design. The increased volume allows our florists to incorporate a wider palette of complementary flowers, foliage, and textural elements, creating depth and dimension that simply cannot be achieved with smaller arrangements. Large bouquets are designed to serve as statement pieces, making them ideal for grand gestures, significant celebrations, or spaces where a standard bouquet might appear understated. The additional stems also mean the arrangement maintains its fullness and visual appeal for longer, as there are more blooms to compensate for any that naturally fade over the course of the bouquet's lifespan.
When properly cared for, a large bouquet from MyFlowers will remain vibrant and beautiful for a minimum of five days, and many of our arrangements last considerably longer. We back this commitment with our freshness guarantee, which means if the flowers do not meet expectations, we will either replace the bouquet free of charge or refund the order value to your MyFlowers account. To maximise longevity, we recommend trimming approximately two centimetres from each stem at a diagonal angle upon arrival, removing any leaves that would sit below the waterline, and placing the bouquet in a clean vase with fresh water. Keeping the arrangement away from direct sunlight, radiators, and fruit bowls will also help extend its life, as heat and ethylene gas from ripening fruit can accelerate wilting. Changing the water every two to three days and adding the flower food sachet included with your delivery will further support the blooms in staying fresh.
Large bouquets are particularly well-suited to occasions where you wish to make a memorable impression or express deep sentiment. They are an excellent choice for milestone birthdays such as thirtieth, fortieth, or fiftieth celebrations, wedding anniversaries, engagement announcements, and romantic gestures where you want the flowers to convey the depth of your feelings. Large arrangements also work beautifully for congratulatory moments such as promotions, graduations, or the arrival of a new baby, where the scale of the bouquet reflects the significance of the achievement. In professional contexts, a large bouquet makes a striking impression when thanking a valued client, celebrating a business milestone, or welcoming a guest of honour. For sympathy and condolence purposes, a generous arrangement demonstrates care and respect during difficult times. Large bouquets are also ideal for decorating event spaces, reception areas, or dining tables where a centrepiece needs to command attention without additional accessories.
Our large bouquets are carefully prepared and packaged to withstand the journey from our florists to the recipient's door. Each arrangement is secured in a sturdy presentation box or protective wrapping that holds the stems in position and prevents movement during transit. The stems are placed in a water source or hydration gel to maintain freshness throughout delivery, and protective layers shield delicate petals from damage. For hand-delivered orders within London, our couriers transport the bouquets upright in temperature-controlled conditions where possible, ensuring the arrangement arrives exactly as intended. Before dispatch, every bouquet is photographed. You can view this photo in our mobile app, giving you complete confidence in the quality and appearance of your order. Please note that this feature is only available in the mobile app and is not accessible on the website. Additionally, photos are not sent for bouquets from our Letterbox Flowers collection (https://myflowers.me.uk/collections/letterbox-flowers) as these bouquets are delivered in a box.
You can add a personalised greeting card to your order for £3.49. The card can be customised with your own message during the checkout process. We also offer an innovative option to create your message using our artificial intelligence technology, which can help you craft thoughtful wording if you are unsure what to write. Beyond the card, you can enhance your large bouquet with a selection of accompanying gifts including premium chocolates, artisan biscuits, scented candles, plush toys, elegant vases, and celebratory balloons. These additions are displayed during the ordering process and can be added to your basket with a single click. Combining a large bouquet with a carefully chosen gift creates a complete gifting experience that feels considered and generous, perfect for occasions where flowers alone might not fully express your intentions.
If your large bouquet arrives with any damage or does not meet the quality shown in your preview photograph, please contact our customer service team immediately with details of the issue and, if possible, photographs of the bouquet as received. You can reach us by telephone on 020 4577 0088, via WhatsApp on the same number, or by email at ask@myflowers.delivery. Our support team is available around the clock, seven days a week, to assist with any concerns. Once we have reviewed your case, we will arrange either a free replacement bouquet to be delivered at the earliest available slot or a full refund of your order value credited to your MyFlowers account for use on future purchases. Our commitment is straightforward: if the recipient does not love the bouquet, you should not have to pay for it. We stand behind the quality of every arrangement we send and will always work to make things right.
Caring for a large bouquet requires a vase of appropriate size to accommodate the generous number of stems without crowding. Upon arrival, unwrap the bouquet carefully and trim two to three centimetres from the bottom of each stem using sharp scissors or secateurs, cutting at an angle to maximise water absorption. Remove any foliage that would fall below the waterline, as submerged leaves decompose quickly and encourage bacterial growth that shortens the flowers' lifespan. Fill your vase with fresh, room-temperature water and add the flower food provided with your delivery. Position the arrangement away from direct sunlight, heating vents, air conditioning units, and bowls of fruit, all of which can cause premature wilting. Every two to three days, replace the water entirely, rinse the vase, and re-trim the stems slightly to maintain optimal hydration. With attentive care, your large bouquet will reward you with days of vibrant colour and natural beauty.
