Plumaria Bouquets


The Plumeria or Frangipani are native to Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean , and South America as far south as Brazil but have been spread throughout the world's tropics. We think of these flowers when it comes to Hawaiian Leis, but are often requested for Bridal Bouquets. These flowers are very fragile and require special care and each flowers has to be specially wired and taped to construct a bouquet. This is why this small flower tends to be a bit on the pricey end when it comes to flowers for bouquets. None the less the fragrance is well worth it. Not all colors are available for use in bouquets. Some colors don't cut well and fade in a matter of hours.
