A rainbow of roses for a beautiful bouquet

One thing that always makes me a merry mom is decorating with beautiful flowers.  Inside, outside, everywhere.  I love flowers!

So imagine my excitement when I received this rainbow of roses today!Rainbow rose bouquet from The Bouqs Company - AMerryMom.com

It’s a stunning bouquet.  I smile every time I look at it – and my house smells heavenly!

I’ve been trying to decide where to display them for the greatest enjoyment of both the color and the scent.  No matter where I put them, they become the cheery focal point of the room.

I love that not only are these flowers gorgeous, they also have a cool backstory since they were grown on an active volcano in Ecuador.

Now, before you start to think I have the greatest hubby in the world who sent me this amazing arrangement, they actually arrived courtesy of The Bouqs Company.  OK, my hubby’s pretty great, but I accepted this particular free bouquet – or bouq, as they call it – to review here as part of the Bouqs Ambassador program.

I have to admit, I hadn’t heard of The Bouqs Company before they contacted me a couple of weeks ago.  But when I did some research and read about them, I was happy to participate.

The Bouqs Company stands out in the online flower business by doing things differently to provide the freshest flowers at a great price.  They have eco-friendly, sustainable farms in South America and California that cut your flowers when you order (for fewer wasted stems) and ship them straight from the farm for faster delivery.  According to the company, their flowers arrive within five days after being cut – compared to other companies’ flowers arriving up to 14 days after being cut.

I placed my order online at thebouqs.com on April 9.  The site promised that my flowers would arrive on April 16, and FedEx delivered them right on time.

The website also points out that their farms provide living wages, childcare, healthcare and adult education.  That means I can feel good about the social impact when buying flowers from them.

For my review, I picked the rainbow bouq because it seemed perfect for Easter.  As you can see, it is lovely!  It really adds to the beauty of the season.  Rainbow rose bouquet - AMerryMom.com

The colors within the rainbow are very vibrant and less pastel than I expected.  The blue flower is unique, with blue-tinged leaves.  It’s not a typical color for roses, so it’s a fun addition in the arrangement and definitely catches your eye!Rainbow bouquet - AMerryMom.com

My bouq arrived with two extra flowers.  I received 14 stems, rather than the dozen that were promised.  Nice!

I read on their web site that they regularly ship extra stems to ensure their customers get what they paid for, in case of an imperfection.  In my bouquet, there was one stem that was partially broken.  It’s the short orange rose in front.  I cut that stem shorter so the broken part would be fully submerged in the water to keep it fresh as long as possible.  It still looks beautiful, and the extra flowers certainly made up for it.

There are many other beautiful arrangements available on thebouqs.com.  It was hard to narrow down the choices to just one selection!  Oh – and I love the pricing structure.  It’s a flat rate that includes shipping for a hassle-free ordering experience.

These flowers would be a great gift for Mother’s Day.  Because flowers make moms happy!
