Why We Design Bouquets by Colour Story, Not Just Occasion

A More Meaningful Way to Choose Flowers in Singapore

When shopping for flowers, most people start with the question:“What occasion is this for?”

But at Oscar Blooms, we begin with something else — color.

Here’s why we design our bouquets around color stories, not just events, and how it helps create a more personal gifting experience.

Color Speaks First — Even Before the Flowers Do

Before the flower type, before the message card — the first thing someone sees (and feels) is color.

  • Pastel tones feel calm, soft, and heartfelt

  • Vibrant shades spark energy and celebration

  • Deep, moody hues convey romance, mystery, or elegance

These emotional cues happen instantly. That’s why we start our designs from the feeling you want to send, not just the event itself.

From Palette to Bloom: How We Build Each Bouquet

Each Oscar Blooms bouquet begins with a color story — a palette that captures a mood.

Then we choose the flowers to match that palette. For example:

  • Pastel Calm: Soft cream roses and baby’s breath, perfectly showcased in the Bright Day Blooms bouquet.

  • Vibrant Joy: Bold red roses with baby’s breath, as featured in the Warm Wishes bouquet — ideal for celebratory moments.

  • Moody Romance: (Upcoming) deeper-toned tulip mixes and shaded foliage — designed to evoke warmth and intimacy without relying on flash packaging

By starting with color first, we ensure each bouquet feels cohesive and intentional, no matter the flower mix.

Occasion-Ready Without Being Predictable

A pastel bouquet isn't just for birthdays.A vibrant red design doesn’t have to scream “anniversary.”

By designing around palettes, our bouquets fit many occasions:

  • Birthdays

  • Anniversaries

  • Housewarmings

  • “Just Because” moments

Each bouquet is flexible yet expressive.

Kraft Wrapping That Complements, Not Competes

Our signature kraft paper and rustic rope wrapping supports this design philosophy:

  • It’s neutral and natural — it lets the bouquet speak for itself

  • It works seamlessly across pastel, vibrant, or moody palettes

  • It gives each design a consistent, understated finish without distracting from the blooms

This wrapping isn’t just a style choice — it’s part of the overall story.

Why It Helps You as the Giver

Designing by color story also makes it easier for you to choose.

Instead of scrolling by occasion, you can choose based on:

  • The emotion you want to evoke

  • The recipient’s favorite color

  • The tone of the moment

Even if you're not sure what each flower means, the color does the communicating.

Final Thought

At Oscar Blooms, we believe a bouquet should look and feel like an emotion made real.

Designing by color story lets us deliver just that — with personality, purpose, and meaning.

Because when it comes to flowers, how it feels matters more than what it's called.

FAQ:

Q: What is a “color story” in flower design?

A: A color story is a curated palette that sets the tone or emotion of a bouquet — like pastel calm, vibrant joy, or moody romance. Instead of designing bouquets only by occasion (like “birthday” or “anniversary”), we design based on how the flowers feel visually.

Q: How do I know which color story to choose?

A: Think about the mood you want to express or the recipient’s personality.

  • Pastels feel soft, thoughtful, and serene

  • Vibrants feel bold, joyful, and energetic

  • Deeper tones (coming soon) feel romantic, elegant, or introspective

    Each color story works across multiple occasions — it’s more about intention than labels.

Q: Can I request a specific flower for a color story?

A: At the moment, our bouquets are pre-curated based on the best available seasonal blooms that fit each palette. While we don’t offer flower customisation yet, we always state clearly what stalks are used in each product listing.

Q: Are the colors in your product photos accurate?

A: Our current images are AI-generated, and we always try to match the real bouquet as closely as possible in tone and structure. Some variation is natural depending on flower batch, lighting, and bloom stage — but the overall color story remains true.

Q: Why use kraft paper for such carefully designed bouquets?

A: Because it lets the flowers shine. Our kraft wrap and rustic rope are intentionally minimal to complement — not compete with — the color palette. It ties everything together in a way that feels honest, clean, and natural.
