Just a little hint of a beautiful bouquet for a client today. Being an event florist I don’t often take orders for individual bouquets but this one was special and also coincided with other orders. Gorgeous Nerines, ornithogalum, ranunculus to name a few.

To be asked to do someone’s funeral flowers is an absolute honour and, contrary to my original thoughts, they are one of the most heart warming things we, as florists, can do for a bereaved person.
For this friend’s mum I was asked to provide the casket spray based around the focal rosemary Esperance and the two posies to be in zingy colours.
When she saw her mother’s flowers Jacqui was “overwhelmed in a good way” and that’s all I could have asked for.

What makes Christmas so magical? For me, it's the intangible embrace of tradition— Walks in the crisp frosty Somerset county I call home, twinkling lights, the warmth of carols that resonate deeply, and the cherished moments like Carols from Kings lighting up the TV screen.⁠
⁠
In the UK, the wreath symbolizes the welcoming spirit of the season—a natural adornment for our doors, often crafted with evergreens like spruce, pine, and holly, echoing traditions passed down through generations.⁠
⁠
Beyond our shores, wreaths hold diverse meanings in various cultures. In Germany, the Advent wreath is a cherished tradition, with each candle lit on Sundays leading up to Christmas, while in Sweden, the St. Lucia wreath symbolizes hope with its candles illuminating the darkest days.⁠
⁠
As we travel the globe, wreaths take on unique forms, representing unity, hope, and joy. In Mexico, vibrant poinsettias often adorn wreaths, intertwined with religious celebrations during Las Posadas. In Greece, wreaths of dried fruits and spices are customary, honouring the festive spirit of the season.⁠
⁠
This wreath—a blend of tradition and nature—is a tribute not just to our UK customs but a nod to the rich tapestry of cultural diversity worldwide. It embodies the essence of unity, joy, and the universal appreciation for the beauty that traditions bring to our homes during this magical season. ⁠
⁠
🎄If you're wanting a traditional Christmas wreath for your door this festive season, then our 'Holly and Jolly' wreath is 100% the one for you. DM or call me to order your bespoke wreath ready for delivery from the 7th December onwards.⁠
