Funeral Posy Flowers

In my workshop, the turning of the seasons is the only calendar I need. There’s a particular thrill in the air when the first spring tulips arrive, or when the heavy, fragrant peonies of June finally make their debut. With years of experience, I know this: working with seasonal flowers is the secret to a bouquet with the strongest fragrance, the longest vase life, and a true connection to the world outside your window.

Choosing UK grown seasonal flowers that are naturally in bloom means they carry the authentic “mood” of the month. A bouquet should feel like a snapshot of a British garden at that exact moment in time.

Winter blooms have a quiet strength, bringing celebration and elegance indoors.

• The Style: We craft winter floral designs with contrast, framing pristine or deep-coloured blooms with evergreen pine and eucalyptus for architectural beauty.

Why Choose Seasonal Flowers?

Opting for a seasonal bouquet offers significant benefits:

• Longer Lasting Flowers: Locally-sourced, seasonal blooms are cut at their peak and have shorter journeys, ensuring maximum freshness and a longer vase life.
• Superior Fragrance: Flowers grown in their natural season fully develop their essential oils. A July sweet pea is incomparably more fragrant than one forced in winter.
• Sustainable Floristry: Choosing eco-friendly flowers that are in season reduces carbon footprints and supports sustainable British flower farms.

Conclusion: The Beauty of the Moment

Seasonal flowers connect us to the natural rhythm of the year. They remind us that beauty is transient, making it all the more special. Whether it’s the first mimosa in February or the last dahlia of October, a seasonal bloom ensures your gift is a true reflection of its time and place.
