 Disclosure- I received a Bouq to facilitate my review but all opinions are 100% my own.

Let’s face it, buying flowers online can be really difficult.  Most of the time it is a bait and switch.  You order what you see in the picture and what the recipient receives can often be something totally different and NOT for the better.  Plus it is expensive to begin with and then even when you think it is a low price, by the time you actually check out and pay for shipping, the flowers, etc. it costs a lot more than you bargained for.  Not any more with Bouqs.com!  Bouqs makes ordering flowers easy and affordable.  All of Bouqs flowers are CUT TO ORDER!  That means that your flowers are not cut until the day you order them so they are as fresh as can be.  There is no bait and switch with Bouqs and ordering is simple.  There are 3 prices/sizes for their Volcano Bouqs that are harvested directly from the side of a volcano.  The Original Volcano Bouqs is $40.  For only $10 more you can get DOUBLE the flowers with the Deluxe Volcano Bouqs for only $50.  Want to really impress?  For $70 order the Grand Volcano Bouqs that has triple the flowers.  They also have flowers that are harvested right in California if you prefer or need them for the next day.  That’s it.  Decide what arrangement you like from their wide selection of arrangements, pick a size, and order it.  Easy peasy!  Not sure which Bouqs to order?  You can even shop by flower or by sentiment to find the perfect Bouqs for the occasion.
I ordered a Deluxe Desperado Bouqs and I have to say they are the most beautiful flowers I have ever received.  They arrived fresh from the side of a volcano right to my door.  My husband asked who the flowers were from.  I should have told him I had a secret admirer but I told him the truth.  He even was amazed at just how gorgeous the Bouqs was.
Once my Bouqs arrived I unboxed it and followed the directions for cutting the stems and putting them in water with the flower food that was included.  The Bouqs come with a special gel on the flower stems to keep them fresh while transporting them.  Now several days later and my Bouqs look even better.  The flowers have all bloomed and are even more breathtaking.  There is just something about fresh flowers that makes me smile and Bouqs are no exception.
Above  is the Original Size Desperado Bouq in my own vase.
Here is the Original Size Desperado Bouqs with a few extra flowers included from the second bunch of Bouqs I received since I ordered the Deluxe Bouqs.  This is actually a candle holder I found on clearance at Target but it made a great vase.

What Makes Bouqs Different-

FROM THE FARM TO YOUR DOOR

Their flowers never sit in a corner store or a dingy warehouse (where they send you the oldest, most-dead flowers they have in the fridge), and they never show up in a van with a 1-800 number on the side.  They ship straight from an active volcano or from the sunny surf of California.

THEY LOVE NATURE & THEY’VE MADE IT PART OF THEIR BUSINESS TO CARE
They source only from eco-friendly, sustainable farms that respect the environment and their workers.

They cut only what they sell. Other providers source from a supply chain that sees 1 in 3 stems wasted. Across hundreds of thousands of bouquets a year, that’s a lot of wasted land, resources, labor and fuel. Bouqs cut only when you order, so they avoid the waste.

They also save energy through our direct-from-the-farm supply chain. The standard supply chain must keep stems cold for up to 2 weeks, meaning hundreds of hours of refrigeration and the associated energy use. They use cold storage for only 4 days from the Volcano, and not at all from California, resulting in a lot of energy savings.

Finally, their farms provide living wages, childcare, healthcare and adult education. And their growing business supports farm communities, so you can feel good about shopping The Bouqs Company’s flowers.

Here are some of my favorite Bouqs.  Which one do you like best?
