A Fascinating Fact About the Gloriosa Lily
Did you know that the gloriosa lily isn’t just beautiful—it’s also incredibly resourceful? 🌿✨

Here’s a little story about this fiery bloom: unlike most plants, the gloriosa lily uses its leaf tips as tiny tendrils to climb and reach for the light. It doesn’t need a strong, thick stem to grow tall; instead, it cleverly holds onto whatever’s nearby, twisting and wrapping itself upward.

It’s a perfect reminder that strength isn’t always about standing firm—it can also be about adaptability and finding creative ways to thrive.

What’s something in nature that inspires you? I’d love to hear your thoughts. 🌸

Last week, one of my gloriosa lily stems from the garden had a little mishap—it snapped clean off before the buds even had a chance to bloom. I was pretty disappointed, but instead of tossing it, I popped it in some water and crossed my fingers.

A couple of days later, this little fighter surprised me by blooming! 🌸 It’s moments like these that remind me why I love working with flowers—they’re full of unexpected beauty and quiet resilience.

This arrangement is simple but meaningful; I removed some leaves to let the natural curves of the stem and the striking bloom take centre stage. It feels like a small victory for both the flower and me.

Has nature ever thrown you a lovely surprise like this? I’d love to hear your stories. 💚

🌸 Cocktail Ikebana 🍸

When my ikebana sensei .marker saw this “Cocktail Ikebana” creation and asked if hydrangeas were edible, I couldn’t help but laugh (short answer: they’re not, so don’t try it! 😂).

While they might not be for nibbling, they do make a stunning garnish (in a purely decorative sense, of course).

Inspired by the theme “Cocktail Ikebana,” I leaned into bold shapes and fresh colours that feel like the floral equivalent of a perfectly mixed drink. Hydrangeas may not be on the menu, but they certainly steal the show here!

What’s your favourite “ingredient” in this arrangement?

✨ Simplicity in focus... elegance in detail. 🌿
 There’s something magical about working with glass vessels—they invite you to play with transparency, light, and the delicate balance between space and form.

For this piece, I let the gentle curves of the leaf and the vibrant calla lily guide the design. The vessel’s clarity transforms the arrangement into something sculptural, while the smaller glass almost seems to disappear into the light—like a little moment of magic.

I love how glass containers create a sense of intimacy, drawing the eye to even the smallest details.

🌿 A quiet dialogue between form and nature...
 This unique vessel by isn’t just a vase-it’s a source of inspiration. I wanted to honour its beauty with an arrangement that’s simple yet expressive, letting each curve and detail shine. ✨

Working with pieces like this is always inspiring—it’s a gentle reminder that sometimes, less is more. Here’s what came to life: a balance of texture, colour, and negative space.

Do you have a favourite vase or vessel that speaks to you like this one does? I’d love to know! 💬

🌿✨ Meet the Creator Behind the Blooms ✨🌿

Here I am, surrounded by nature’s beauty—flowers are my happy place! 🌸

Hey there! I’m Gwyneth, the floral creative behind FLOWERS by GWYNETH. Whether I’m designing something special for your celebration or exploring the beauty of flowers in gardens, I’m always inspired by nature’s stunning details. 🌿

When I’m not working with flowers, you’ll probably find me binge-watching my latest drama obsession-whether it’s a Chinese drama, k-drama or dorama-don’t judge, they’re addictive 😅), trying new recipes, planning my next travel adventure, or getting lost in a local nursery—because who doesn’t love a good plant haul? 🌱

At FLOWERS by GWYNETH, I blend my love for nature with a little artistic flair to create floral arrangements that help make life’s special moments even more beautiful. Whether it’s an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, my goal is to help you celebrate life’s special moments with flowers that feel fresh, authentic and meaningful. 🌸💚

No two arrangements are ever the same—just like no two gardens, no two couples, and no two days!

Let’s chat about how we can create something beautiful together—and maybe swap travel tips or drama recommendations while we’re at it! 💬💐

🌸 Schrödinger’s Cat, but make it ikebana... 🐱✨

A huge thank you to my teacher, .marker, for setting the theme of Schrödinger’s Cat for this ikebana arrangement! 🧠💭

I wrapped a straw box with material to hide what’s inside, but placed a lid on top. Now, do we automatically assume there’s a box underneath just because we see the lid? 🤔

To add a little intrigue, I tucked a couple of white flowers just peeking out from behind the lid—like a secret waiting to be discovered. 🌿

It’s the perfect metaphor for Schrödinger’s cat: is it both alive and not alive at the same time? Or are we just imagining the flowers beneath the surface?

Either way, the beauty is in the mystery. 🐾😆

Natural hand-tied wedding bouquet with spring flowers🤍🌿

01/11/2024

This dreamy white-and green-bouquet with trailing mock orange has all the soft, natural vibes! Perfect for the bride who wants something effortless yet stunning 🌿🤍.

I love how each little bloom adds its own texture and movement.

Tip: Want a cohesive look? Try using the same flowers or colours across different parts of your day—think bouquet, centrepieces, even your ceremony & reception decor. It keeps everything feeling connected without overthinking it!

Accentuate the CURVES 😉

Queen Anne’s lace has such a dreamy, delicate vibe, but it can sometimes look a bit droopy.

For this ikebana arrangement, I’ve removed excess fern-like foliage to really show off those beautiful, curvy stems and allow space between the materials.

The result? A light, airy look that feels effortlessly elegant!

Paired with soft ranunculus blooms, this piece is all about keeping it simple and letting each flower shine.

Creating floral art is about balance, beauty, and letting nature do its thing! 🌱

Springtime is always beautiful at Nooroo Garden, Mount Wilson! 😍

Flowering elm 🌿 this time in a nageire (tall vase) ikebana arrangement.

The green blossoms do not drop easily like cherry or plum blossoms, and the branches are “soft” and easy to handle. I found them to be a wonderful material to work with 💕

🌿 Nature’s Elegance: A Wedding Floral Story 🌿 t’s not every day that nature takes the lead in wedding designs, but when it does, magic happens!

I was super lucky to find this amazing piece of multiple connected bromeliads that I could weave right into the arrangement. It fit perfectly, bringing the whole design to life! I just had to showcase its organic flow at the base—it pairs beautifully with the striking textures and colours above.

This design approach, inspired by Sogetsu ikebana, shows that when you let nature guide your creativity, you can create a stunning statement piece for a client’s special celebration.

Sometimes, it’s all about embracing what nature has to offer. When you do, the results can be absolutely breathtaking! 💚✨

✨ What can a simple shape inspire? ✨

This Sogetsu freestyle ikebana arrangement started with the triangular shape of the container.

Letting those sharp angles and clean lines take the lead felt natural, and the Strelitzia brings a fun pop of colour and energy!  
It’s all about playing with structure and letting the shape of the container guide the design.

What shapes around you spark your creativity? ✨
