Orchids can be used as whole stems or individual blooms. A long stem suits a tall bouquet, while separate flowers can be arranged in a lower box or basket. When ordering, check whether the composition counts stems or individual blooms. This helps you compare the size and price of two options.
Cymbidium and phalaenopsis in a bouquet
Cymbidium has firm petals and several flowers on one stem. Phalaenopsis is recognised by its broad petals, which resemble butterfly wings. The orchid type affects the bouquet shape, available shades and price. If you like a particular flower in a photograph, send it to the florist and ask whether that option can be prepared for your chosen date.
White, pink, green and other orchid colours
For a pale bouquet, consider white and cream orchids, or combine shades of pink. Green cymbidium can be paired with white flowers, yellow with warm tones, and burgundy can be the main colour of an arrangement. Some orchids have a centre that differs in colour from their petals. If a precise shade matters, agree it using a reference before ordering.
An orchid bouquet, box or basket
A bouquet is practical if the recipient has a suitable vase at home. For a gift at an office, restaurant or event, consider a box or basket with a water-holding base. This can stand on a stable surface and be cared for without taking it apart. Check the dimensions and type of base so that you know where to place it and how to add water.
Orchids with roses, hydrangeas and lisianthus
In a mixed bouquet, orchids can be combined with roses, hydrangeas or lisianthus. White flowers suit a pale colour scheme, while contrasting shades can make the orchids more visible among the other flowers. Individual blooms can be used for a compact gift, and whole stems for a taller bouquet. Discuss your preferred composition and flower availability for your chosen date with the florist.
Choosing the size and price
The price depends on the orchid type, number of stems or individual blooms, other flowers and wrapping. A large box and a tall bouquet can have different compositions even when their overall dimensions seem similar. Share your budget and size preferences to find a suitable option. Each product has a price in lei; composition changes and the total are agreed before payment.
Orchids for birthdays, anniversaries and weddings
For your mum, partner or a colleague, choose their favourite shades and a size that is easy to hand over. A large arrangement can suit an anniversary, while a small box works for a smaller gift. If you want orchids in a bridal bouquet, discuss the shape, dress shade and ceremony time in advance. We confirm the composition and whether it can be prepared before the order is finalised.

Caring for cut orchids
For a bouquet, use a clean vase and fresh water, and recut the stems when changing the water. Keep leaves and wrapping out of the water. If blooms sit in water tubes or floral foam, ask the florist how to top up the water and keep the base moist without soaking the box itself. Keep flowers away from radiators and direct sunlight, and protect the petals from pressure while carrying them.
