Small Hand Bouquets: When Should You Give Them?

Small Hand Bouquets: When Should You Give Them?

Despite how beautiful they are, big gorgeous bouquets are not always appropriate. You can definitely get one for huge celebrations since the person won't have to carry it around too much. Instead, it will rather serve as an additional decoration for the evening. But what about other occasions? Small neat bouquets are the go-to option for you.

The origin

Small hand bouquets are known to belong to the European style. In Europe, flowers with a short stem are collected in small bouquets and have been popular for a long time. Today, florists around the world, including the FloralN5 team, are fond of this kind of composition!

Occasions for small bouquets

Sometimes a lush bulky bouquet is just not what you need. Here is when a small hand one will do the job instead:

  • First date. Coming to a first date with a large bouquet may not always be a good idea. If you have a walk in the park, carrying a large bouquet around will be quite tiring. A small one, in turn, will express your admiration while also being comfortable to hold in hands or put on a table at a restaurant.

  • A sign of support. If you want to support a loved one, the sincerity of your feelings is not measured by the number of flowers or their length. In the case when it seems that there is no special occasion for a present, a miniature bouquet and pleasant warm words of support will cheer the person up.

  • Thanking someone. When you feel like just saying thank you is not enough, but getting a present would be too much, a small bouquet is a golden middle between the two. It will show how much you appreciate what the person has done for you but won't be too overwhelming for them.

  • Celebrating your friendship. Just how flower compositions express romantic feelings, they can also show how you value other types of relationships in your life. Regardless of whether you're visiting a friend or just want to make a nice gesture to let them know how much they mean to you, a small bouquet is perfect.

Remember that your personal preferences and the ones of your dearest people matter more than any kind of floral traditions or "rules." If you feel like a small bunch of flowers can make someone feel better, but there is no occasion to celebrate, giving flowers for the sake of a person's smile is a great reason!

And if you know what kind of flowers they love most, ask our florists at FloralN5 to help you create a charming composition featuring those flowers!
