Fabulous Friday



I have a "love/hate" relationship with bud vases. Since 2001, I have been looking for that 'signature vase' for Petals, something that said "simple and elegant, classic but fun". I have stood in glass blowing studios in Venice, scoured pottery shops in Portland, inspected the table vases in restaurants throughout London and New York but always came up empty. 

Then I saw this particular vase; it's glass and hammered metal and comes in three sizes. And whether you use it for a sassy Gerber or a mini cymbidium orchid, or something completely different, it shows the flower off to perfection. 

While you might have to spend time looking for the perfect man, or whether you already have the perfect partner, know that Petals offer a variety of vases that can bring a smile to your face and make you weak at the knees... but won't hog the covers. Sounds like the perfect relationship if ever there was one and perhaps like all great relationships, it is worth waiting for.  And like everything we bring in, available in limited quantities. Order one with a single bloom today.



Gerbers are such fun, whimsical flowers - they immediately make one smile. I love their colours and demanding nature: they are like a stop sign.





After a wedding season where brides focused on the standard cymbidium orchids, I was thrilled to see the mini version. Perfect in a bud vase, a table centrepiece or tucked into your hair.
