To please our loved ones, we order the most unusual compositions from florists. Recently, such a novelty as a bouquet in hat boxes has gained particular popularity. Elegantly packed in an original box for a hat, a flower surprise cannot leave us indifferent to those who are especially dear to us.
From the history of flowers in hat boxes
Where did this elegant bouquet in hat boxes come from? There is no definite answer to this question. One story is considered as close to reality. It tells about the love relationship of the great playwright Bernard Shaw to the beautiful Stella Campbell. The famous writer presented his beloved with a fragrant box of flowers as a gift. It contained a postcard in which a man expressed his admiration for a talented person. Thus began a 40-year correspondence between the lovers. When the woman died, all the letters from her beloved remained in the hat-box that he had given her at one time.
European florists were the initiators of flower arrangements in hat boxes, while they often supplemented them with sweets. It was from there that such a tradition came to Canada. Original bouquets in hat boxes are presented today to loved ones and outstanding personalities: composers, artists, poets, and writers.
Types and features of flower hat boxes
Hat boxes, like the packaging for flowers, are made of thick cardboard. Depending on the shape, the flower packaging can be round; oval; square, or rectangular, in the form of a trapezoid or rhombus, made as a heart, casket or chest.
The product itself is trimmed inside with a unique moisture-resistant material that does not allow liquid to pass through and poses any danger to both the plant and the person. The bottom of the box is covered with a floral sponge soaked in a unique solution. It provides nourishment and moisture to the flowers. The created environment provides for preserving freshness by plants for a reasonably long period (about two weeks).
