The language of flowers.

Fragile, perfect and simple. Flowers are timeless when it comes to matters of the heart. Fragrance triggers memory and elevates mood; the fleeting beauty of the gesture is extravagant.

The traditions of exchanging and displaying buxus, lavender and bay leaf wreaths and bouquets to mark significant events passed through generations dating back to Ancient Rome. Arrangements were used to convey messages between lovers with the colours and form of the arrangements brimming with meaning. This expression developed into more structured displays and arrangements during the Baroque. Then later, sweeping and luscious examples emerged during Impressionism and Expressionism movements.

Across cultures and continents, the art and tradition continues to this day.

The preparation and gifting of flowers has always been a deeply personal and intimate ritual. While we now have florists with exceptional skills and techniques to prepare displays for our events, kitchen tables and loved ones… the ritual remains personal… the gift remains intimate… and flowers do and always will remain an utterly exquisite expression of love.

With love from us to you.
