Saturdays aren't just for lying in bed...

10.00 a.m. and I busy in the shop creating and dreaming all things Valentines. That was until I walked past the fridge; I had to stop in my tracks when I saw the Sweet Peas. 100 stems arrived yesterday and now only a small handful were left. I always love it when the Sweet Peas come in. They are feminine, intricate and flirtatious and always a breath of fresh air, especially on grey rainy days like today. Or maybe it was because they were pink? I am not sure. And for once I didn't question it. After all it was Saturday and I was happy. As for the idea of having a sleep in? Well, maybe that's what Sundays are for!

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.
