Flowers have been used for many reasons throughout the centuries.  Egyptians began a style of floral design that it now referred to as occidental.  Most of the modern flower arrangements of the time are based off of the Egyptian occidental style.  In Asia another style of floral arrangements were developed that is referred to as oriental.  This style is still common in some places in the world but isn’t extremely popular with most modern florists.  Both of these styles of floral design are responsible for the floral design of today.  There have been traces of beautiful and elaborate floral decorations in nearly every culture worldwide.  Flowers provide a natural beauty and they are loved by most people. 

Modern floral arrangements can be classified into one of four categories.  Spring, Fall, Tropical or Victorian.   Spring arrangements include fresh flowers of bright colors; oranges, yellows, blues, purples. Usually these bouquets’ are arranged in a basket or a vase.  These types of flowers are typically are used for house décor, and they make great gifts for any occasion.  Fall arrangements has the same basic look of a spring bouquet however the flowers are darker in color; reds, browns, burgundies.  They are also great for home décor or more solemn occasions.  Victorian arrangements usually include lilies, iris’, tulips, or other elegant looking flowers.  Tropical arrangements are extremely unique and often quite expensive.  The use flowers like orchids, halaconia, protea, anthurium, and bird of paradise.  Each of these arrangements can be made using either fresh flowers or silk flowers. 

When a flower arrangement arrives on your door step it has usually traveled a long way to do so.  Sometimes the flowers in your arrangement have been imported from other countries in order to be placed in your arrangement.  Each flower has gone through a detailed journey, however when it arrives to you the arrangement looks fresh and new.  On their journey fresh flowers are sometimes packed in flat boxes, which allow a large number to be put in small spaces like airplane holds. Other flowers like expensive tropical varieties will not survive long without a constant supply of fresh water tropical flowers are sent with a little water holder at the ends or shipped out in buckets of water. This not only extends the life of the plant, it also reduces labor time because once the flowers are unloaded they are ready to be sold. Regardless of their shipping method it is extremely important that florists arrange for their flowers to stay cold during transportation.  Most use  a series of chillers in every step of the transportation and storage process to keep the temperature down to ensure the flowers stay fresh. With the wide availability of cold transportation, flowers sent from major growers to Europe and the United States arrive in excellent shape, as though they were freshly picked just that morning.
