Bouquets of flowers are wrapped in coloured papers and fabrics, to enhance the look of the completed bouquet; as well as to help protect the flowers during delivery.
The choice of the wrap can contrast with the flower colours to make them stand out more. It can also complement the flower colours and blend in with the colours and shades of the flowers for a more subtle look.
When you receive a bouquet of flowers we suggest you leave the paper wrap around the bouquet, and with this in mind we don't swamp the bouquet with paper (as we have seen elsewhere), we wrap so that the flowers can be easily seen within the wrap; and the flowers remain the stars of the bouquet.
