Let's Take Inspiration from Overseas Bouquets ♩

While the overseas wedding bouquets may seem filled with unfamiliar flower materials, most of them are flowers that you probably know as well.*

One picture alone can make it hard to tell what flowers are there, but having a description of the materials is really helpful.

Florists can avoid confusion like, “Is this rose? It looks like ranunculus, but it could be peony...” ◎

It would be disappointing if the bouquet you received differed from what you saw in the photos, so be sure to communicate the names of the flowers you want clearly! ♩
