"Like furniture, flowers can add shape, structure and brightness to a room—difference is, you don't have to commit to them in the same way. I truly get excited about all the different forms nature can morph into. They can add colour to your week in different ways, and their momentary presences makes them all the more beautiful."

"Flowers have trends just like colours and clothes, and this combination is for the ultimate girly girl. This romanticism-meets-the Nordic aesthetic features Mattiola flowers in off shade of pink, recalling some of the key pieces from this season's runways."

"Bluebells in the woods; sharp greens getting caught by the morning light. This arrangement could well be my favourite. I am a blue girl so it could explain a lot. Lime green pom pom's called Viburnum Snowball are always a good place to start with when putting together an arrangement. Think of it as a staple black top that allows you to highlight accessories and build a beautiful outfit from."

"This reminds me of warm autumnal interiors, rich velvets, and dark mahogany. These colours need the wild greens to break them down and give the flowers a textured back drop. A lot of these flowers are from Holland or New Zealand. The Peonies, like so many flowers, is truly beautiful when in season."

“I used more regionally sourced flowers for this particular arrangement, like white hydrangeas from Malaysia and phalaenopsis orchids from China. White always gives me the feeling of calm, tranquil movements, like crisp linen and a sun lit room. What I find most satisfying is when you see the foliage intertwining the pristine blooms—the two dance off each other, giving the bouquet depth and structure, complementing the orchids’ chiffon like texture.”
