Wildflower meadow bouquet

A bouquet of wildflowers gathered from meadows, blending naturalness and delicacy in a minimalist composition.

About this subject

Wildflower meadows are biodiverse ecosystems that support pollinators and birds. In Brazil, rocky fields and savannas yield species such as everlastings, field daisies, and pinks. In Europe, alpine meadows produce gentians, bellflowers, and daffodils. Harvesting for bouquets must be sustainable, avoiding threatened species. Minimalist composition values the form and texture of each flower without excess. Such arrangements evoke the Japanese aesthetic of ikebana but using local species. Florist techniques prioritize curved stems, varied heights, and negative space to create lightness. Using native foliage such as grasses or ferns complements the bouquet. This style gained momentum with the 'field flowers' movement in rustic weddings and events. Care is simple: fresh water daily and stem cutting every two days. A wildflower bouquet can last 5 to 7 days, depending on species.
