Eryngium, most commonly known as Sea Holly, is a stunning combination of delicate and rough. It comes in beautiful hues of blue, violet, green and white. It’s robust, easy to grow, drought resistant & a floristry favourite!⠀
Their flowers are aromatic which attract birds, bees and insects.⠀
Sea Holly is a symbol of independence, severity and attraction.⠀
This hat box created by @travaflowers looks good enough to eat!⠀ ⠀
Hat boxes are a perfect floristry product as they are easy to transport and deliver to places like offices, where the flowers may not be put in water for a few hours.⠀ ⠀
We create a hat box arrangement as part of our Beyond the Basics course which is running in Collingwood in June. Perfect for beginners, you can attend the Beyond the Basics even if you haven’t completed Flower Basics as the teacher will guide you every step of the way!⠀ ⠀
Happy Sunday!⠀
As the name suggests, Blushing Bride is an extremely popular wedding flower!
Part of the protea family. Most commonly found in creams & whites with a pale pink centre, these beautiful yet robust blooms also come in shades of pink and green.
Coming into bloom now, they are seasonal in Australia from May to September and hold up well even after being cut, which makes them perfect for bouquets and buttonholes.
Historically, it is reported, that a man would wear a blushing bride bloom if his intent was to ask for his loves hand in marriage! 😍
According to study completed by the Rutgers university Human Emotions Lab, it was found that flowers create instant delight and happiness, and increase enjoyment and life satisfaction. Specifically, upon receiving a gift of flowers, the female study participants responded with true smiles and reported positive moods that lasted for days.
The presence of flowers also led to increased contact with family and friends. The research reveals that those who send flowers, in comparison to other gifts, are viewed as successful, caring and emotionally intelligent people.
