How do you present bridal bouquets?

As the title says, how do you folks present bridal bouquets?

Do you have special boxes or other fancy ways to present them when delivered?

Any pics or links?

exatly the same as rach i have seen boxes for sale can't remember where could be the aqua box makers but didn't like the look of them they looked too small and naff so i still stick with covering a box with nice paper and scrunching tissue sometimes our boxes are too big so i go a get some of the card shop as he has the smaller ones

Thanks for the replies.

Thats exactly what we do too!

I was just covering a box with tissue tonight and thought "does everybody else do this?", so it's good to hear that I'm not alone.

it'd be nice if someone designed a box a little smaller already fancyish and of corse cheap enough for us just a simple box then all we'd have to do is put the tissue in i do get brides say where are we going to put that big box!!!!!

We save the oasis boxes and if careful enough you can rip them in half with the easy opener. Then like all of you seam to, cover in 'house 'paper with scrunshed tisssue - but I do like to cover the final thing with clear cello and finnish with sticker - but not so tight that it gets sweaty and like Rach about 2 hours before event.

To true Potty I have a panic attack if they suggest someone picking up and always say no we prefer to hand over to bride personally so we can guarantee satisfaction

me too i don't even trust the drivers on their own with my precious flowers!
I pretty much preseent them the same..the only premade boxes i have seen are too expensive.
If we have a couple of special mums corsages I like to put them in a small box from a vase or something, wrap it, cut a window out and cello in the window, they look very pretty
