HAve you ever tried taking a newspaper or plain brown paper to the florist to wrap the flowers that you buy? Try it and I can assure you that your bouquet will not only stand out on account of its unique wrapper, but will carry a distinct message about being environmentally-friendly! Those receiving it will also be relieved because all they need to do is tear off the paper and put the flowers in a vase. If you are ordering a bouquet online, do check about how they send the flowers and make sure that the wrappings are eco-friendly.
