My best friends from college and I have an ongoing group text that is hoppin’ all day every day. I love this method of staying in touch with seven of my best friends and little texts from them make me feel closer to some of my favorite people who live hundreds of miles away from me.
Though many of our texts are silly and hilarious, the text stream is also filled with a lot of “real life” moments when one of us is facing something challenging. The group always rallies and sends lots of support their way and one of the things we like to do is send care packages, flowers or other small gifts to someone who needs a little extra love.
Flowers are obviously a go-to because they’re beautiful and tend to make everyone smile. My friend Cherayne turned our group onto flowers from The Bouqs Company a while ago and they’ve been our go-to flower delivery service ever since, thanks to their affordability and absolutely gorgeous assortment of flowers.
(Tip: We love the Venmo app for reimbursing each other for stuff like this! It makes paying friends back SUPER easy!)
When I received and email from Bouqs.com, I knew immediately I wanted to share a little bit about them with you guys, especially with Valentine’s Day right around the corner. (FYI, Bouqs.com offers a dozen roses for Valentine’s Day for $40. A total steal if you’re looking for roses on February 14.)
What attracted me to The Bouqs Company and what has kept me and my friends returning to the site time and time again is the price (everything is very affordable, there’s no up-selling and shipping is always free) and the bouquets offered vary from beautiful traditional bouquets to more original, whimsical bouquets with more of a farmer’s market bouquet feel.
The Bouqs Company’s flowers are grown on the side of an active volcano in Ecuador, so the additional sunshine and mineral-rich soil makes for more vibrant and beautiful flowers. They’re grown at sustainable, eco-friendly farms that follow strict responsible farming practices and are third-party certified by Veriflora and The Rainforest Alliance.
The bouquets you see on Bouqs.com are hand-crafted, custom designs by local artisan florists. Flowers are cut the day you order them and shipped directly to your door the next day so you receive them quickly and they last longer than most other flowers.
The flowers come in a box and do not include a vase which I personally prefer since we have a million vases already and I don’t need any more!
I ordered a bouquet of their “Farmer’s Choice” flowers the day before my father-in-law came in town to brighten up our house and we loved them. The roses came slightly closed and opened up beautifully the following day.
Such gorgeous colors!
In addition to displaying the flowers in our kitchen, I snipped off two of the vibrant yellow roses to put in a small vase to brighten up our downstairs bathroom as well.
My mom always does this with her flowers and I love the look of fresh flowers throughout the house!
I sent another bouquet, “The Best Around” bouquet, to my friend Michaela in Denver as thank you for hosting me and Chase last weekend and scheduled it to arrive the day of my visit.
The deluxe bouquet delivered enough flowers for two full vases and looked stunning! They were beautiful and Michaela seemed happy and surprised to receive the gorgeous flowers during my stay.
