The Joy of Playing Florist!

There’s something about November that invites us to slow down. The days grow shorter, the world outside turns golden, and home becomes our favourite place to be. Lately, we’ve noticed more of you picking up individual stems and building your own arrangements and we love to see it!

Designing your own faux floral display is a simple pleasure. It’s relaxing, rewarding and a lovely way to bring a touch of nature indoors that lasts all year round.

Choosing your stems

Start with a few flowers that really speak to you. There are no strict rules here, just gentle guidance. A good mix usually includes:

• Statement blooms for impact, like our Bronze Chrysanthemums or Hydrangea Stems

• Greenery for balance — think Eucalyptus or Fern Sprays

• Something textured to add softness, like Pussy Willow or Seeded Stems

Mix colours and textures that make you smile. Sometimes the most beautiful arrangements come together by instinct rather than design.

Finding the right vase

The vase can completely change the feel of your display. A tall, narrow vase suits elegant stems like orchids or delphiniums, while a rounder shape works best for fuller, blousy flowers. Our Amber Grecian Vase or Lustre Fishbowl are two customer favourites this season!

Don’t be afraid to experiment. Move stems around, step back, and trust your eye. Faux flowers are forgiving... you can tweak, bend, shape, rearrange, and perfect your look as often as you like!

Creating your signature style

One of the best parts of working with faux florals is the freedom they give you. You can reuse and refresh your arrangement whenever you fancy a change. Swap colours as the seasons shift, or layer in new textures to create something fresh.

And with our 3-for-2 offer on all stems, it’s the perfect time to play florist at home and see what you can create.

So this November, when the rain taps at the window and the house feels quiet, gather your favourite stems, put some music on, and make something just for you. A vase filled with flowers you’ve chosen and arranged yourself might be exactly what your home needs to feel ready for the season ahead.
