How it's used
While 花束 is the standard term for a bouquet, people in casual conversation often just use 紮花 to refer to it. Using the full term 花束 sounds slightly more formal or descriptive, such as when browsing a florist's website or discussing a wedding arrangement.

Common mistake
Learners often forget that the classifier for a bouquet is 紮, not 個. Using 個 makes it sound like you are referring to a generic object rather than a specific floral arrangement.
