All About Roses: The Pavé Rose Bouquet
A pavé rose bouquet is a beautiful arrangement in which flowers, often roses, are designed in a tight, compact style in a low vase or other compact vessel to create a dense and cohesive look. The arrangement is often in the graceful shape of a dome. Their tightly arranged nature creates a bold and colorful impact. What a striking way to say “I love you!”Pave Bouquet from Orchard Lane Flowers.

Though pronounced “pah-vay,” the word hints at its origins. The term "pavé" comes from the French word for "paved" or "cobblestoned," and in the context of floral design, it describes a style where the flowers are arranged closely together, resembling a paved surface.
A pavé rose arrangement uses roses cut to a uniform length. With floral foam, the roses are arranged in a compact manner so the entire surface of the bouquet appears filled with blooms and no gaps appear. This style of arrangement is lush and luxurious, making it a popular choice not only for Valentine’s Day but for weddings, special events, or centerpieces. Because they don’t take up a lot of vertical space, they are perfect to send to someone at the office, where they can enjoy them at their desk.
Pavé arrangements are similar to the Biedermeier-style flower arrangements that originated in Austria and Germany after World War I. This style arranges flowers in tight spiral or linear patterns.
