From The Outside Looking In

It's midnight in Alhambra and the scent of Jasmine and Tuberose hangs heavy in the air. I've come back from a Turkish Bath and Tapas to find the pictures uploaded. I suddenly feel an overwhelming sense of being homesick. It's rare I am away, rare that the flowers are unpacked and I don't get to see first hand what's in the fridge and what's in the shop for sale. I call Amanda - she's on a webinar, "call back in 15" she said, too engrossed to talk. I am left in the still of the night, looking at the images she'd captured earlier today.

Please go into the shop for me. Stand still in the door way and let your eyes become accustomed to the light. Breathe in the heady fragrance of the flowers. They are there for the taking.

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.
