🌸 Discover the September Magic of Dahlias 🌸

September is the “peak season” for Dahlias, making it the perfect time to enjoy these gorgeous blooms in all their glory! 🌿✨ As summer transitions to autumn , Dahlias bring vibrant colors and lush textures to any garden or floral arrangement, thriving in the cooler autumn air.

We are often creating Dahlia bouquets during September too. They have become a favorite for brides in September, symbolizing commitment, elegance, and inner strength; the perfect sentiment for your special day. Whether you choose bold, rich tones or soft pastels, they add a striking touch of romance and sophistication to any wedding bouquet. 💕

A little tip is to pair Dahlias with soft roses, eucalyptus, or ranunculus for a dreamy, romantic bouquet!

INCOMING DELIVERY!
We have a huge delivery of stunning house plants arriving this week and will be available from our Charlton Kings Shop tomorrow. Time to create some stunning botanical additions to the interiors of your home. Watch out for our blog coming out in a few weeks with more insightful tips on caring for your "House Plants".
Just a little idea... with our kids going back to school or college next month, why not treating them to a plant for their study room. Plants are an accessible, interesting way to make an otherwise drab space more inviting, and there’s a unique thrill to watching them grow. Along with this the health benefits have been found with a sense of calm when surrounding ourselves with plants. 🌿
If there's particular house plants you'd like us to source, give Izzy a call and she will work her magic. ✨

Honoring a Life, One Petal at a Time

Memorial flowers are more than just a tribute—they're a reflection of the life and spirit of your loved one. Whether it’s a favorite bloom or a unique design that captures their essence, we’re here to help you create a heartfelt arrangement that truly honors their memory.

Recently we were asked to create a motorbike which was definitely one to be remembered as a unique design for a special individual. At Make Their Day Florist, we ensure that every design uses the best flowers that creates a story to remember.

03/08/2024

At Make their day we are able to create floral tributes in themes that depict every individual character.

This week we were asked to create a floral sword to reflect the memory of a true gamer. They loved gaming and being part of the mythical world through gaming.

Every bloom tells a story. Our floral tributes are crafted with care and love, honoring the beauty and essence of those we hold dear. May these stunning arrangements bring comfort and keep the spirit of your loved ones alive in your hearts.

We sell perennial plants including foxgloves at Make Their Day Florist 🌸

With perennials, the above-ground portion of the plant dies back in freezing weather, but re-grows from the base and rootstock the following spring to bloom again.

A particular favourite is the Foxglove which is a well-known plant across the UK. It produces a spike of purple-pink flowers between June and September. It can grow up to 2m tall and is found in heathland, woodland edges and gardens. This pretty flower is also a valuable source of nectar for bees. Leaves: oval-shaped and hairy with a toothed margin.
Ppp in store to chat to the team for Perennials we can include in your arrangements..

See below for some tips on balancing pops of colour in your arrangements ⬇️.
Incorporating pops of color in floral design can add vibrancy and focal points to your arrangements. Here are some strategies to effectively use pops of color:

🌸Contrast with Neutrals
Use a neutral base (like white, cream, or green) and introduce bright colors (such as reds, blues, or yellows) to create striking contrasts. For example, a bouquet of white roses with a few bright red tulips can be very eye-catching.

💛💜Monochromatic with a Twist**: Stick to a single color palette but add one or two flowers in a contrasting color. For instance, a bouquet of various shades of purple flowers with a few yellow blooms can be visually stunning.

💖🧡Color Blocking**: Group flowers of the same color together in blocks within the arrangement. This creates a modern and structured look. For example, clusters of pink, orange, and purple flowers placed side by side.

🎀 Accents and Accessories**: Use colorful vases, ribbons, or decorative elements to add pops of color. A simple arrangement of green foliage can be enhanced with a bright red ribbon.

🌻Focal Points Place the brightest or most vibrant flowers in the center or key areas of the arrangement to draw attention. For instance, a single bright sunflower in a sea of pastel blooms can act as a focal point.

🪷Texture and Shape
Combine different textures and shapes with your pops of color. Spiky flowers like thistles or delicate ones like orchids can create interesting contrasts when paired with more common blooms.

🌸Balance and Proportion Ensure the pops of color are balanced throughout the arrangement. Too much color in one area can overwhelm the design, while too little might go unnoticed.

Using these techniques can help create dynamic and visually appealing floral arrangements that stand out.

Here are some floristry tips to help you create beautiful and long-lasting floral arrangements:

✂️Conditioning Flowers
Cut stems at an angle and immediately place them in water to maximize water uptake. Remove any leaves that will be below the waterline to prevent bacterial growth.

💚Use Floral Foam
For arrangements in containers, soak floral foam in water and place it in the container.

🌈Balancing Colors
Choose a color scheme that harmonizes well. Typically, using one or two main colors with complementary accents creates a visually appealing arrangement.

↕️ Vary Heights and Textures
Mix flowers of different heights and textures. This adds dimension and interest. Place taller flowers in the center or back and shorter ones around the edges.

🌺Focal Points
Use a focal flower, usually a larger bloom, to draw the eye. Place it slightly off-center for a more natural look.

🌿Use Fillers Wisely
Add filler flowers and greenery to create fullness and depth. Popular fillers include baby’s breath, eucalyptus, and ferns.

🏺Experiment with Containers
Don’t limit yourself to traditional vases. Baskets, teapots, and mason jars can add unique charm to your arrangements.

By incorporating these tips, you can enhance your floristry skills and create stunning floral displays. Follow for more tips or pop into our shop and speak to the team.

It’s Mental Health Awareness week so wanted to share some ideas to support.

Flowers, plants and all natural things are good for mental health too!

There are so many ways to treat yourself - try at least one a day! go for a walk in a wild flower meadow, the fields in the countryside, a park or go to some woods, up on a hill, by the sea, a lake or river.

Give flowers or a plant to a friend who is a bit down, or just because...

Find some time in these light evenings to sit in your garden and just be for a few minutes; potter in the garden, pick out some weeds or plant up a pot or fill a space in your border.

Paint or draw a picture of some flowers or plant, walk a dog, stroke a cat, go for a horseback ride - so many ways to enjoy nature, fill your mind with it and feed your soul and with it at very little cost except time of being in the moment.
