Spring: lightness and new growth
Build a spring-inspired arrangement around fresh greens, gentle pastels and varied stem heights. Bulb flowers can be a natural starting point, but their availability and handling needs differ. Ask your supplier about the specific variety and whether it continues to grow after cutting.
Summer: colour with room to breathe
Summer palettes can be vivid, sun-washed or garden-like. Choose a dominant tone, then add contrast through foliage and shape rather than adding every colour at once. In warm rooms, flowers may need more frequent water checks and a cooler position away from direct sun.
Autumn: warmth and texture
Rust, muted pink, cream, deep red and leafy greens can create a grounded seasonal feeling. Seed heads and textured foliage add interest, but check whether any dried elements shed or need special placement around children or pets.
Winter: structure and simplicity
During darker months, a smaller arrangement with strong silhouettes can be more effective than a crowded mix. Evergreen foliage, pale blooms and a restrained accent colour create contrast. Confirm freshness, transport conditions and care instructions when ordering in cold weather.
