Spring Vintage Arrangements

Gorgeous Vintage Flower Arrangements for Spring

The vintage look has long been fashionable for flower arrangements – for events, in restaurants and hotels and in the home. Think 1920s glamour, rustic elements and the prettiness of the 1950s. With springtime flowers in bloom, there’s an abundance of flowers to choose from to create your perfect vintage look.

Sweetness of Spring Time

While modern flower arrangement are often very refine and designed, the key to a vintage look is balance of a rustic, garden vibe with glamour and abundance. Arrangements don’t have to be symmetrical or neat – as long as there is a cloud of colour and a rustic vase, you’ll have your perfect look. Dusky pink sweet peas are wonderful choices for a vintage bouquet, as are the pale yellow and white roses of a Cottage Garden Arrangement and an Edwardian Bouquet instantly takes you back to a time of style and taste.

Beautiful spring flowers like daffodils, tulips and hyacinths have long been popular and can make perfect vintage blooms when displayed in an old-fashioned vase and off-set with garden foliage. Think natural but glamorous for vintage spring style.

Vintage Vessels

White lace makes a beautiful, delicate addition to glass vases: wind around a clear jam jar or use to fasten your bouquet for a old-fashioned feel. This will also work well with your candle vessels. You could also add vintage labels to jars and bottles for your flowers, or use ribbon and velvet as alternative embellishments.

Search your local charity shop or weekend market for fabulous vintage finds to display your flowers. Milk jugs, china teacups (look out for blue and white willow-pattern designs), ceramic watering cans and patterned tea tins will all make beautiful vessels for your vintage flowers. Fill with free fragrant blooms like freesias, daisies and baby’s breath, or create a sumptuous Great-Gatsby feel with armfuls of peonies or roses. Rose Garden Beauty features beautiful English roses in a rustic pink jug – perfect for the kitchen or an outdoor party.

Centre-Pieces to Celebrate

A posy of dusty pink peonies in a glass vase could be all you need to create 1920s vintage glamour, and a bouquet of roses may do just as well. For real Gatsby-esque glamour, display your blooms in silver or gold vessels to shimmer against the beauty of the blooms. Hydrangeas will look beautiful in a worn silver vase or jug for an outdoor-do, or nestled round a candle for a more designed look.

A silver tureen makes the perfect vase for a Tutti Colori arrangement of pure decadence. These soft-shaded blooms overflow in cascades of roses, hydrangeas and hyacinths – London spring flowers of abundance. Full bouquets of tulips curling from a vase will have a similar effect of joy and glamour, everything you need for a vintage display. And in Floral Freedom, bright roses, freesias and verdant foliage overspill from an elegant white cage – a perfect vintage floral centrepiece.

The Perfect Bouquet

It is the perfect way to say congratulations and give thanks, while they also make for quite the token of apology. Flowers are a fitting choice for every occasion, but when it comes to creating the perfect bouquet a little bit of knowledge is needed. It takes a touch of skill and slight of hand to create a bouquet of flowers that sends the perfect message. Considering the situation at hand, the following guide will help you curate and create a beautiful bouquet flowers as a gift.


How to create the perfect bouquet of flowers?

Before you even walk into a florist or begin browsing through flowers online, you need to understand who the recipient of the bouquet will be. More importantly you need to (hopefully) have an understanding of what this persons likes and dislikes. Taking this information board, you can start searching out specific flower types and colours. For example, some people love the classic appeal of red roses, while others bemoan its supposed lack of originality. When you understand what the recipient of a bouquet enjoys you can go about creating something truly personal.

The world of flowers is as beautiful as you would have imagined. Bursting at the seams with beauty and colour, a florist’s shop floor is often a sight to behold. Within all that can be found both offline and online is choice, choice that should make creating the perfect bouquet easier. While you are free to buy flowers from wherever, it certainly pays to shop around. Look for the best prices, but more importantly look to discover the best florist. A skilled florist can be worth his or her weight in gold, as they will able to prepare your flowers in a manner that helps maintain their freshness.

Prior to parting with any money, it helps if you can tell the florist what you are looking for. If you have the time, plan your bouquet arrangement before you start to shop. Have colours and flower type in mind, that way you can give the florist this information. From there you can create a memorable bouquet that your family, friend, or loved one will adore.

If you decided that you want to try preparing your bouquet yourself then there a few things that you need to remember. After acquiring the flowers you need to cut them at an angle, along with removing any leaves that are hanging loose. Be careful when going it alone and cutting flowers at home, as large and small bouquets will have different cutting requirements.

Capping things off, you will need to arrange your bouquet in the most visually appealing way possible For starters, make sure that large petal flowers make-up the backbone of your arrangement. Following that start adding blooming flowers, keeping an even spacing wherever possible. Lastly, add a bit of texture through some green foliage.

Valentine’s Flowers

Personalised Valentine’s Day flowers your other half will actually love.

What’s the secret to the perfect Valentine’s gift? Here’s a clue: it doesn’t have to involve spending lots of money. The best way to say ‘I love you’ is to give a gift that’s truly from the heart and shows how well you know your partner. A bit of extra time and effort goes a long way, and personalised Valentine’s flowers and gifts beat a quick dash to the corner shop for whatever is left on display. Add a personal inscription to a vase or make an arrangement yourself, remembering to take into account their favourite flowers. And don’t forget: even if your drawing skills aren’t up to scratch, a homemade card with a heartfelt personal message will always go down well.

J.B. Loves E.S. You’ve seen them in woods and parks and the most romantic of movies: initials carved into tree trunks surrounded by a heart to mark young love forever. Bring the romance back into the relationship and create your very own carved tree trunk by displaying Valentine’s flowers in a bark-covered vase. Use a wood burning tool for solid wood, carve with a sharp knife (but be careful!) or alternatively paint the initials on. Keep with the woodland theme by choosing full pink and red blooms like roses, peonies or dahlias (acrimson rose posy will work beautifully) and add foliage such as ivy or ferns. Voila! A truly unique gift for Valentine’s Day.

Choose their favourite flowers. It doesn’t have to be roses on Valentine’s day. A way to show your loved one you really know them is to give them a bouquet of their favourite flowers. This might be a single bloom such as bright and bold gerberas, or they may be keen on many different varieties. This is the real test of whether you’ve been listening when passing the local florist! Maybe they like exotic blooms like orchids or protea, or are a free spirit who can’t get enough of wildflowers (in which case a bouquet of English garden flowers may be perfect)? Whatever it is, you can ask your florist to create a truly unique and personalised Valentine’s flower arrangement that is sure to impress your significant other more than a generic bunch.

Get creative! There are many gorgeous bouquets ready to buy as gifts, but you can add a personal touch by thinking outside the box with your Valentine’s flowers. Rather than a bouquet, present your partner with a floral wreath made especially by you. This could be heart shaped or circular and ready to display pride of place in your home. Choose the flowers, whether fresh or artificial (roses are always going to work well), snip off the heads and attach to a twig wreath (you can find these in home ware shops) with floral wire.

As a special surprise for breakfast or a romantic dinner at home, create a floating flower display by taking flower heads and arranging to float on the surface of a glass bowl alongside floating candles. You could also attach real flowers to a card for a unique design you won’t find in shops. Whatever takes your fancy: flex those creative muscles and make a floral Valentine’s gift that is from the heart and tailored just for them. Nothing quite beats the personal touch!
