A reason. A person. A few stems.

Start with the occasion and the feeling you want to give. The florist can translate that into shape, colour and seasonal material, with the final stems and scale agreed together.

See it in context

The open focal flower gives the arrangement its centre. This stylised botanical study describes a role; the florist confirms the actual stems.

The reason
Seasonal sample palette
Presence in the room

The context drawing keeps the hands, vase and table at the same scale. It helps compare presence; it does not promise exact dimensions.

Authored sample stems. Availability, substitutions, final contents and fulfilment need the florist’s confirmation.

A small gesture

A thank you, a doorstep hello or flowers for an ordinary day. An airy arrangement can carry a personal message without needing to be large.

Look closer

A generous gathering

A fuller bouquet for a birthday, a milestone or someone you want to celebrate. Describe the person and the colours they live with.

Look closer

A table moment

Flowers for a meal or a room shared with friends. Think about the table, sightlines and everything else that needs a place.

Look closer

Tell the florist the useful things.

Who
A little about the recipient and what feels like them. Favourite colours are useful; an exact flower request can remain a question.
Where
A hand-tied gift, a vase at home or a table arrangement each asks for a different shape.
When
Your preferred date and any collection or delivery needs, for the florist to confirm.

Add the words only you know.

The note makes the gesture personal.
