Flower of the Month
August 2025: 💛Daffodil💛
In light of Daffodil Day I think they should be the flower of this month, they are one of the first flowers to show that Spring is on the way.
They come in so many colours and sizes, personally my favourite Daffodils are the ones with yellow or cream petals and orange trumpets, I also like the mini ones. Let me know which ones you love.
I also love the symmetry of them, they have such a great structure which is nice to look at.
Daffodils are a symbol of hope, joy, new beginnings and rebirth, they are a wonderful flower to gift.

Flower of the Month
July 2025: 🌙Cymbidium Orchid🌙
Orchids are such a special flower and this month as they are just starting to open up I am reminded of the wonderful woman who started this collection of orchids which has been gifted to me by her family about 4 years ago.
She was a fellow florist and kind of like a grandmother to us, she never missed a birthday, Christmas or anniversary and would always come bearing quirky gifts (some of which I still use today), baked goods and of course a bouquet of flowers from her garden. The orchids will be a consistent reminder of her which I will always treasure.
The Cymbidium Orchid is a symbol of friendship, morality and respect, they are a lovely long lasting flower to give to someone special.

Flower of the Month
June 2025: 🪶Protea🪶
This month our Proteas are abundant with blooms, finally starting to establish a good amount of flowers to show after 5 years of being in the ground, a reminder that good things take time and each season is different, plants grow and bloom best naturally when conditions are favorable which changes from one season to the next.
Proteas are such a special, strong and unique addition to bouquets, symbolizing strength, courage, transformation and diversity.
They always remind me of my amazing mentor Donna at Simply Flowers & Events who taught me that you can use the feathery bracts in wiring work to add texture or colour to a design.

Flower of the Month
May 2025: 🧶Knitted Roses🧶
This year the month of May has been a waiting game for me and honestly I haven't been outside much since the arrival of the wee blossom that is my daughter.
I've chosen the knitted roses I make for this month for a couple of reasons, one being the fact that our garden is fairly bare at the moment and two, to show that these knitted roses are quite fitting for the transition into Winter by being a cosy addition to any posy and will last forever.
I think as far as symbolism goes they will hold the same meaning as garden roses which can be many different things depending on their colour, I'd also like them to hold the meaning of everlasting and unconditional love which is something that I'm currently understanding on a different level.

I still plan to keep up with my monthly creation goals I've set for myself so for this months pick from the creation beret

💘 Romantic💘

Romance will look different for everyone so feel free to let me know what you think and share what your romantic style looks like.
For me a romantic style bouquet will include warm and rich tones of colour, flowers and foliage I use will be a mix of classic and unique varieties with a softer structure that has a touch of movement, all of these qualities tied neatly together to represent the fun and flair of a budding romance.

Foliage of the Month
April 2025: ☘️Ivy☘️
Ivy has a very rich and vast amount of history and symbolic meanings especially in Greek mythology which I could do endless research on however i will just share my thoughts and feelings on it as a florist.
Firstly and unfortunately Ivy is quite invasive if it's not kept at bay, its tendency to creep can do damage to buildings and smother existing plants or trees.
However it's use in floristry is very much appreciated, being a hardy evergreen that lasts and hardly wilts, it creates whimsical designs such as trailing bouquets and head pieces. Its structure is also incredible for wiring work in corsages and buttonholes. I've also noticed that in a bouquet Ivy has a mind of its own, after a day or two it naturally reaches towards the light which adds a bit of magic to the arrangement. I especially love the variegated variety.
Ivy is a desired choice for weddings because it holds the symbolism of eternity, fidelity, celebration or achievement.

Notice: it's mother's Day in 2 weeks and as much as I would love to I won't be taking Mother's Day orders this year as I will be entering motherhood myself around this time 💖 I will continue to be as active with my business as I can after the initial newborn navigation phase and will ideally be back in action with an added assistant by springtime ✨🌸🌿
