Tips, Events and News from Peony

There's nothing quite like a British summer when the sun decides to make an appearance! Garden furniture comes out, doors are left open, meals move outdoors and our homes feel lighter and brighter.

But while we might love the sunshine, fresh flowers often don't...

Whether you've invested in one of our ready-made arrangements or enjoy creating your own displays using individual stems, here are our top tips for caring for your faux flowers.

There’s something so satisfying about building your own arrangement from scratch...

Choosing each stem, playing with shape and colour, and creating something that feels completely your own!

For many people, spring also brings something less welcome… hayfever! And while fresh flowers are often seen as part of the season, they’re not always the easiest to live with when pollen levels start to rise...

There’s something about the first signs of spring that makes you want to throw open the windows and give your home a little refresh...

What if the flowers you choose for Mother's Day could say even more AND not give her one more thing she needs to look after and maintain!

Whether you're someone who always buys them their favourite flower, or you play it safe with roses every year - buying that special someone (or yourself) flowers for Valentine's Day is tradition!

If you’re currently planning your wedding flowers and would love to see things in person, we’d love to welcome you to our upcoming Wedding Open Day at the Peony shop!

Birth flowers are traditional flowers linked to each month of the year, in much the same way as birthstones.

Many people are surprised to learn that birth flowers don’t always match when a flower naturally blooms!

One of my favourite creative moments so far this season was a dinner party I hosted for my lovely friends Nick and Royston, alongside my dear friend Paul Hawkins - a fresh florist. We created the most beautiful winter tablescape, mixing fresh and faux.

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. It’s the perfect time to light a candle, pop the kettle on and get creative.

We can't believe that it's almost Black Friday already, and as usual we are hosting our wonderful Christmas Shopping Event at the Peony shop - to kick off our Black Friday Sale!

When: Friday 21st November, 12-6pm
