A blog about all things related to flowers. However, as rent and rates go up so more florists have moved onto the street and are offering a full service. Best rule of thumb is to check out their website and look at the pictures.
These are the florists that specialise in the sort of drop dead gorgeous design work you see at weddings, parties, fashion shows, product launches and film premiers. Some wonderful florists have started from home, but they quickly moved into a studio or shop. They work from home, often buy the flowers from supermarkets and their training can be just a few You Tube videos. There are some good ones out there but in the main we would say avoid.
Carnations and cheap roses that have been sitting in stagnant water for days! We know they try hard but in our opinion the gift of garage flowers is desperation wrapped up in cellophane. So kick out all those boring designs and choose something totally personal and probably far better value as well.

Hand tied are a great idea for most people but they are NOT suitable for hospitals, new mums, funerals or sympathy flowers.
Coming back into fashion and perfect for the person who likes to arrange their own flowers. These are a wonderful way of sending a profusion of flowers to a special person without them having to do anything.

Based in floral foam, which provides good moisture facilities, arrangements can be made into virtually anything; from baskets to funky tin buckets and all points in-between. However basket designs are particularly suitable for funerals or sympathy gifts. Well actually planted bowls, tins, baskets and boxes. If it can hold soil it can hold plants and are the perfect choice for green fingered people who like nurturing something.
The choice of plants can either be all green or flowering or a mixture of the two! If you really want to be on trend this year go for succulents. Or on the wall, from the ceiling and all points in-between!
