2D bouquet builder
Bouquets are a product that, in most cases, isn't a standard item with a fixed composition. They're a pre-assembled arrangement that's created to suit a client's specific needs (mood, tastes, budget).
The online 2D bouquet maker is an interactive website tool that allows customers to create their own bouquet: select the composition (flowers, quantity, stem length, and additional decorations) and packaging, and instantly see the final price. This format simplifies the selection process and helps place an order faster, eliminating back-and-forth correspondence with a manager and unnecessary clarifications. For businesses, the 2D bouquet maker reduces the workload on managers, standardizes orders, and minimizes errors in the communication between the client, operator, and florist.
Personalization via a 2D builder makes the selection process more informed and convenient for the client: they can see how the bouquet changes as they add elements, and better understand the final result. For flower delivery companies, salons, and e-commerce businesses, this means more thoughtful orders, fewer clarifications during the checkout process, and stable operation even under heavy workloads.
At AVADA MEDIA, we develop 2D bouquet builder as applied business tools, taking into account product range, assembly rules, pricing, and manager workflows to ensure the solution is beneficial to the entire supply chain.
What is a 2D bouquet calculator and how does it work?
2D online bouquet calculator is a web-based tool that allows customers to assemble a bouquet from components and place an order directly on the website. It works based on visual assembly and automatic cost calculation, eliminating the need to contact a manager.
How does this work:
- Assembling a bouquet from components: flowers, packaging, ribbons, a card and additional elements.
- Works in the browser on desktop and mobile: no need to install applications, directly on the website.
- Automatic price recalculation: the cost is updated every time the set is changed.
- Placing an order takes 1–2 minutes: the customer selects the delivery date, address, and leaves contact information.
This format shortens the path from selection to purchase and makes the process clear even for those who are ordering a bouquet online for the first time.
What business problems does a 2D bouquet calculator solve?
2D bouquet calculator takes away some of the routine communication with the client and streamlines the selection process through a user-friendly website interface. This allows for a faster and more manageable process from browsing the catalog to placing an order.
The key tasks that the tool solves:
- Simplifies customer decision-making — users see a sample of the final bouquet and the price, so they can proceed to checkout more quickly.
- Reduces dependence on managers - some standard questions and clarifications are handled within the designer.
- Reduces errors in orders - the configuration is generated in a structured manner, without ambiguous descriptions.
- Stabilizes the assembly and delivery process — the florist receives a precise set of components and packaging requirements.
- Ensures stable operation during peak periods (March 8, February 14, graduations) - the flow of orders is processed faster, without increasing the workload on the team.
- Increases the value of the order through additional options - the client adds packaging, a card, and decor when they see their impact on the appearance of the bouquet.
- Speeds up order processing — orders arrive ready-to-go, without the need for correspondence or clarification.

- Supports the addition of greenery and decorative elements, which are immediately displayed in the visualization.
- Offers packaging options: craft paper, film, boxes and hat forms.
- Includes additional options - ribbons, cards and gifts with the order.
- Automatically calculates the cost and does not allow you to go below the minimum amount.
- If necessary, displays the number of elements and the total weight of the bouquet.
- Allows you to save the assembled version or immediately add it to the cart.
- Supports promo codes and discount rules for marketing promotions.
- Integrates with the website, CRM, CMS, warehouse, and accounting systems.
- It has an admin panel for managing the product range, prices and available options.

Stages of developing a 2D bouquet calculator
- Analysis and problem definition. Requirements gathering, product range analysis, order scenarios, and key business processes. Formulation of a feature list and technical specifications.
- Logic and UX design. Developing a selection structure, compatibility rules, user scenarios, and a user-friendly interface for quick bouquet assembly.
- Asset preparation. Creation and optimization of elements: layers, flowers, packaging, ribbons, cards, and other components. Preparation of display options for different devices.
- Development. Implementation of a visual designer, selection logic, cost calculation, and final configuration generation, as well as user interface creation.
- Integration and testing. Connecting to the website, CRM/accounting, checking the accuracy of calculations, compatibility, and operation on different devices.
- Launch and support. Commissioning, monitoring, refinement, and support during product expansion or business logic changes.
Technologies and approach to development
At AVADA MEDIA, we develop 2D bouquet calculator as a web service that runs directly in the browser and works equally well on computers and mobile devices. The interface is designed with speed and simplicity in mind, ensuring bouquet creation remains convenient regardless of the catalog size.
The system's architecture is designed to accommodate product range growth and seasonal updates: new flowers, packaging, and sets can be added without reworking the logic. Integrations are implemented according to security and resilience standards — with CMS, CRM, payment services, and accounting systems — to ensure accurate and seamless data transfer.
To monitor performance, we enable event collection: "assembled bouquet," "added packaging," "placed order," and configure the transfer of this data to analytics and CRM so businesses can track exit points and improve sales scenarios.
