A Chat with the Founders

This season, we’ve handpicked some truly eclectic stems to feature in our arrangements that simply deserve a spotlight on them. From otherworldly shapes and fantastic names to unexpected heroes, we wanted to introduce you to some of these fabulous flowers and share what makes them so special and why we adore them so much. So, let’s meet some of these strange, stunning, and unique stems of the season.

This Easter, invite your friends, family, and third cousins to gather around a fabulously set table brimming with spring flowers. Get inspired with our curated Easter tablescape and create your very own interpretation to wow your pals with.

The delicate pink blossoms of cherry trees mark the arrival of spring. In Japanese culture, they signify a new season that carries a sense of renewal and rebirth. The trees have been cultivated in Japan for over a thousand years, but saw a global spread in cultivation throughout Europe and the US in the early 20th century. You can now see them flowering in gardens, parks, and along streets in many places in the UK.

We caught up with artist Grace Percival on all things painting, flowers, and the process behind designing bespoke artworks for a selection of our seasonal arrangement guides. Grace Percival is a Brighton-based artist and designer with a keen eye for modern still life compositions, vibrant colour palettes, and playful detailing. Her work is infused with joy and her lively, light-hearted approach that centres around florals, tablescapes, and interiors. 

Have you ever loved one of your floral arrangements so much, you wish you could keep it even longer than it would last in your vase? Our bud-to-bloom method already guarantees a long vase life for your Freddie’s bunches, but what if you could extend its life beyond that? We’re here to tell you about a few methods that’ll allow you to do just that, each using your flowers and creativity in different ways. 

We’ve compiled our tip tips for arranging flowers to help you get started and find your own style. From grouping your flowers, considering your vessel and colour palette, to the classic steps for arranging, read on to get the best framework for your creative flower displays. 

the Enduring Story of Roses

Every flower arrangement starts with a vase - it’s the foundation of your creativity. When you first think about it, a vase probably sounds like the easiest part, the bit that you don’t have to think about and just grab before the actual work begins. However, choosing the right vase can have a big effect not just on the longevity of your flowers, but can play an integral part in creatively arranging your bunch. While we could probably write a whole book about this, take this guide as your starting point.

We’ve caught up with three tastemakers on the most fundamental basis of everyone’s work - their desks. How do the spaces we create around us spark and influence our designs, ideas, and projects? What rituals do we follow when we sit down at our desk? And naturally, how do flowers come to play a part in our set-ups?
