bouquetette

A bouquetette is a small, informal arrangement of flowers, typically composed of just a few stems. Unlike a traditional bouquet, which is often larger and more elaborate, a bouquetette is characterized by its simplicity and understated elegance. These miniature arrangements are frequently used for personal gifting, as corsages or boutonnieres, or as decorative accents for small spaces. The term "bouquetette" is a diminutive form of the French word "bouquet," emphasizing its reduced size.

Bouquetettes can feature a variety of flowers, often chosen for their individual beauty or complementary colors. Common choices include roses, lilies, tulips, or even wildflowers. The stems are usually tied together with ribbon or twine, and a small, complementary filler such as baby's breath or ferns may be included. The overall effect is delicate and intimate, conveying a thoughtful sentiment without being overly grand. Their manageable size also makes them an economical choice for flower arrangements. Bouquetettes are also a popular option for weddings, where they can be used by bridesmaids or as decorative elements on cakes and favors.
