I wanted to dig a little deeper into why flowers help us feel so calm and I hope my investigation can help you turn to flowers whenever you want to take a moment to feel calm after a long day (or week!) at work. Taking the time to prepare flowers and place them in a vase is an act of mindfulness which is a soothing remedy for our busy lives.

Foliage wreaths are great to decorate a barn wedding or to adorn with seasonal decorations and hang from your front door. They add texture and a natural look to your interiors and also look perfectly at home hung up among your photos and pictures in your living room.

Spring erupts each year with new life, a fresh beginning and an inspiring escape from the depths of post Christmas January and February. Whether you’re thinking about flowers to have in the house for Easter or if you’re thinking of having a Spring wedding, this blog post will give you some Spring flowers inspiration.

A Christmas colour palette that I’m currently really into is one of rich and deep plum shades. It reminds me of the burning brandy on the Christmas pudding, delicious dark red desert wine and spending time with family and friends around a table full of rich food. The deep plum colour palette is also perfectly matched to flowers at this time of year.
