I actually do use foliage, but I never automatically factor it into a design. In the same way I don't add pink roses to every arrangement, parsley to every recipe or a red scarf to every outfit, sometimes I just don't think it goes. I add it when it really adds something to the arrangement and it complements the colour palette.
I remember buying and receiving flowers before I became a florist and I was often disappointed by the flower to foliage ratio. I always wished I could have swapped the greenery for an extra rose or a tulip or two. So that's how I approach my own designs now. It's very much driven by my own perception of value, style and love of big blooms. It does mean that my bouquets tend to be a bit smaller than average as there's no foliage to bulk them out, but they are full of luxurious flowers, beautiful colours and interesting textures.

I'm so excited about my Valentine's bouquets and can't wait to make them all up next week. It's the first seasonal collection I've offered since having my daughter so it's a pretty special one for me.
Availability is limited so please do order early!
