Recycle- able Bouquet ?

[goodie]

I want to promote a hand tied in my shop that is fully Re-cycleable! But i need ideas ??

Today i did a test run. A spring Hand tied, tied in natural string, then gift wrapped in patterned craft paper. Then stood in a cardboard transporter Aqua box. Raffia bow.

My problem is , how do i stand it in water without using cellophane or plastic? Also trying to keep costs down ???
Any ideas ?

Hi Goodie we did a simialr thing and used waxed paper cups so that it sort of sat in a recycled vase type thingy!!! it was really popular and I think a lot of people liked the idea that they could them just lift it out to stand in a vase or just top up the paper cup. Don't over fill it for transport though. very Messy. hope that helps

You can always not have the hand tieds delivered in water or us biodegradable cello.
We make all our bouquets as tieds not flat packs. Either seen all round natural, compact, grouped or front facing in a more Linear modern style. Then we do hand tied aqua packed in the same way obviously in water. Our customers love the fact that they don't have to arrange their bouquets it's all done for them. We have ready to go bouquets wrapped in natural kraft paper in vases in the shop. all that has to be done is the bottom piece of paper aroung the stems and tied with natural raffia. All totally biodegradable.
