Walking through a flower market might feel overwhelming at first. Hundreds of varieties appear everywhere, colors blending together like a giant living palette.
But experienced florists look for very specific details.
They gently check the stems, making sure they are strong and hydrated. They examine the petals to see how the flower will open over time. A flower that is slightly closed often becomes the most beautiful bloom two or three days later.
Florists also rely on scent. Some flowers bring a delicate fragrance to a bouquet, while others add structure or movement.
Choosing flowers is part instinct and part experience.
This careful selection is what makes a bouquet feel fresh, balanced and alive
