We do deliver to funeral homes in La Prairie. Before either calling in your order or placing it on the web, it is important that you have on hand not only the name of the deceased specific funeral home in La Pairie, but the date and time the services begin.

1. What is a bouquet?

A bouquet is a collection of flowers designed to be hand-tied and wrapped for gifting. Hand-tied bouquets take more time and skill to create, often resulting in a fuller, more structured look. They do not come in a vase and are ideal for anyone who enjoys placing flowers into their own vessel at home.

2. What is a cut-flower bouquet (also called a presentation bouquet)?

A cut-flower bouquet—sometimes called a presentation bouquet—is a simple grouping of stems that is not hand-tied. It’s wrapped for easy gifting but requires minimal design labour and is therefore less expensive than a hand-tied bouquet. Cut-flower bouquets are perfect when you want something beautiful and budget-friendly, and when the recipient is happy to arrange the stems themselves.

3. What is an arrangement?

An arrangement is created directly in a vase or container. The flowers are styled and secured in place, so the design is ready to display the moment it arrives. Arrangements tend to look fuller and more structured because they’re built in a vessel, making them ideal for gifting, workplaces, events, or anyone who prefers a polished, finished look.

4. Which should I choose?

• Choose a cut-flower bouquet if you want something lovely, simple, and cost-effective.
• Choose a hand-tied bouquet if you want a more crafted, designer feel without a vase.
• Choose an arrangement if you want a complete, ready-to-display design.

5. Why do these options look different in photos?

Bouquets—hand-tied or presentation—are meant to be viewed from all angles. Arrangements, however, are designed with a front-facing style and may use floral foam or a vessel for support, making them appear fuller and more sculpted.

6. Which lasts longer?

All three options can last equally long with proper care. The main difference is presentation, not longevity.

7. Why are cut-flower bouquets less expensive?

They require less labour, no vase, and less structural design work. You’re paying for beautiful fresh stems with simple wrapping—perfect for everyday gifting or customers who enjoy arranging flowers themselves.

There are many beautiful ways to preserve a wedding bouquet, and we invite you to explore our blog for inspiration.
