The Age of Innocence

The Age of Innocence

The last order before Valentine's Day arrived in our studio yesterday afternoon. The colour of some flowers are hard to define. A touch of innocence in yellow sorbet with a hot pink blush outside.

Very little in nature is the softest shade of pink. The flush on a woman's cheek from being in the fresh country air or perhaps from a stolen kiss.

leading to a scorching magenta passion

And what is love without the drama of red: Pillar Box, Fire Engine or Cherry Tomato

A buttercup yellow reflected on the underside of your chin.

And of course, we are knee deep in the season for tulips - seeing fields of tulips would make a painter's heart soar.

The Cymbidium Orchids so intricate in their colouring of aubergine and oxblood with a kiss of yellow at their throat.

As always, available in limited quantities. As always, exceptional quality... just for you.

CARING FOR YOUR FLOWERS

Cut Flowers
There are several ways to ensure that your flowers last longer. Before arranging your flowers in a vase, trim the stems on a slight angle. Top up the container regularly with fresh water. Keep your flowers away from drafts and direct sunlight -- the cooler the room, the longer your flowers will last. Remove spent flowers as they fade.

Hand Tied Arrangements
Our hand tied flowers are presented cinched at the waist in a cellophane package filled with water. Once the flowers arrive home, they should be transferred to a vase. Fill the vase two-thirds full of cool water. Untie the package over a sink (otherwise the water will spill onto the counter) and transfer the arrangement to your vase. Check the water level regularly as flowers get thirsty, replacing the water completely every few days.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Our floral designers collaborate with clients to portray their story or message through flowers. For weddings we talk about the things you love. We find inspiration from the most unexpected places within the fabric of your lives and from that, a theme is developed. Each couple's journey is unique and we are passionate about bringing your vision to life with flowers and local foliage with just the right accents while working within your budget. We tell your story through colour, texture and composition. We ask: What do flowers mean to you?

For local companies, we draw from their philosophy, industry and architecture, ensuring that their floral designs -- most often located in the reception and boardroom areas -- reflect their aesthetic.
