Alstroemerias and Chrysanthemums

The bouquet combines ten chrysanthemums, nine carnations and seven alstroemerias, complemented by four sprigs of waxflower and greenery.

Alstroemeria is regarded as a flower of friendship and symbolises abundance and good luck, so the bouquet works well as a thank-you for someone close or as a birthday greeting. Chrysanthemums and carnations are often combined in bouquets, so together they look natural and create a full arrangement.

Waxflower has small waxy blooms on needle-like twigs and a delicately aromatic scent. Greenery forms the base into which the flowers are tied; it adds volume, shape and colour contrast.
