Our baby's breath bouquet is one big cloud of white gypsophila: about 25 stems, roughly 22 to 24 inches (55 to 60 cm) long, wrapped in paper with a ribbon and delivered in a glass vase.
Baby's breath is the common name for gypsophila, a plant with hundreds of tiny white flowers on thin, branching stems. Florists usually tuck a few sprigs between roses; here it fills the whole bouquet.
Bring it to a bridal shower, or send it when a baby arrives. The bouquet is white and light to carry, and it looks big for its weight.
Our florist fans the stems out so the top rounds into a dome, and the fine stems almost vanish under the flowers. Baby's breath also dries well: hang the bouquet upside down in a dry, dark place and it keeps its shape as a dried arrangement.
For another one-flower bouquet, this time with scent, see a bouquet of purple stock; for white flowers with more weight, see white lilies. There is one size, about 25 stems, with the vase included.
