Flower baskets for all occasions - By: Gen Federico

Most florists offer a range of flowers in a selection of decorative arrangements. For instance, there is always the choice of colourful bouquets of flowers, aquapacks and modern and traditional flower arrangements in a selection of stylish vases and other receptacles. Another option for floral arrangements is the flower basket.

Flower baskets consist of an assortment of flowers and decorative flourishes, which are arranged and presented in a basket container. The basket of flowers is made by placing specially chosen flower stems into a foam base, one which has been especially made for flower arranging. This foam is then in turn shaped and altered to fit inside the basket. In order to keep the flowers as fresh as possible for the longest possible time, the flowers need watering by simply keeping the foam base moist.

Flowers in such a basket are usually highly decorative and since they are already arranged in their own woven container, they do not require an additional vase or jug. In a basket, flowers can be immediately placed on a surface and can create a visual impact without any supplementary decoration or tweaks. Generally the basket would have a wide base so that the flowers remain secure inside and there is little chance of the container wobbling or falling over if knocked or bumped.

Another advantage of the 'flowers in a basket' arrangement is that generally the baskets have a handle, which allows for the easy transportation of the flowers from the florists to the recipient - ideal if you have to take public transport when you want to present the gift yourself. Often, the baskets will be decorated with a selection of ribbons or foliage in order to enhance the appearance of the floral display.

At Eflorists we have an outstanding selection of flowers in a range of arrangements including baskets and bouquets to suit all occasions and recipients.
