We’ve chosen a selection of our favourite pink, purple, and blush toned blooms and paired them with textured vessels to create ready-to-display arrangements ideal for surprising the most important women in your life. A gift that is guaranteed to brighten her day, our Pink Bouquet and Vase Gift Bundle combines our Nayland vase with a bouquet of pink stems: four Faux Pink Double Tulips, four Faux Pink Fringed Tulips, and five Faux Pink Sweetpeas. Each stem is beautifully detailed, bringing delicacy and elegance to the arrangement, and the final piece also offers impressive height. It’s a show-stopping piece, but surprisingly soft. Traditionally symbolising affection, caring and good wishes, tulips are a popular Mother’s Day choice. Our Lilac Bouquet and Vase Gift Bundle showcases these intricate blooms in a range of stunning lilac shades; our Faux Lilac Double Tulip stems with layers of blousy petals are displayed alongside the intense plum tones of our Faux Purple Fringed Tulips and pale, painterly pastels of our Faux Lilac Sweetpeas. These gentle stems contrast wonderfully with our textured Nayland vase. For mums who prefer blush tones, our Blush Peony and Vase Gift Bundle is a stunning ode to our bestselling Faux Blush Peonies. With their abundance of petals, these stems perfectly replicate their natural counterparts but will stay in full bloom for years, rather than just a few weeks. These full volume stems never fail to make a statement, especially when arranged in our timeless Orwell small vase.   Pure Beauty  White flowers typically represent purity and innocence, making them an ideal choice to honour the bond between mother and child. For Mother’s Day, we’ve crafted three gift bundles that highlight the enduring beauty of white blooms, as well as their versatility – there’s a flower to suit every taste. Our White Peony and Vase Gift Bundle is an elegant option. Our Darsham small vase with its glazed appearance and distressed detailing provides the ideal vessel for bold Faux White Peony stems, which are sure to spark compliments thanks to their ruffled petals and naturalistic pink shading on the bud. Our Faux Sakura Blossom spray adds height to the arrangement; a nod to spring with distinctive dark stems that stand out against its scattering of white flowers. If you want to surprise your Mum with the beauty of spring blossom, our Pear Blossom and Vase Gift Bundle is a Mother’s Day favourite. Faux Pear Blossom is an irresistible choice thanks to its fluffy white flowers, dark architectural stems, and lush greenery. I love the way its warm tones are brought out by our ochre Minismere vase – it’s spring sunshine in a vase. Our Magnolia and Vase Gift Bundle is a more traditional alternative. You really can’t go wrong with this classic combination; our textured Bentley pot features crackled glaze and vintage-inspired distressing while our Faux Magnolia branches pair bright white flowers with vivid green leaves. Each bloom has been carefully handcrafted to ensure that some buds are more open than others, reflecting the appearance of real branches – but these blooms are made to last. Timeless Treasures  Home accessories can be an accompaniment to a Mother’s Day bouquet or a gift in their own right. Our collection takes cues from antiques, bringing vintage charm to any interior. If your Mum loves to dine by candlelight or would appreciate a characterful addition to their mantlepiece or sideboards, our brass candlesticks always attract attention. Each arrives in a set of two; our Henley Antique Brass Candlesticks have a distinctive shape, warm burnished brass tone, and impressive height, while our Buxhall Antique Brass Candlestick offers a softer, more fluid silhouette and a wide base. Why not include our Corton Antique Brass Candle Snuffer with its unique curved candle and crosshatch engravings as an extra surprise or a bonus gift from the grandchildren? For mothers who love to store keepsakes, photographs, and other memories safe, I recommend gifting our Hengrave Antique Brass Box . This expertly crafted piece blends style with function, adding a refined touch to any room with its detailed engravings and rich antique brass colour. Another eye-catching decorative piece, our Kenton Silver Tray would take pride of place on a coffee table or counter and can be used to display everything from a scented candle to a beloved book. It’s in the Details  Most mums would agree that it’s the little things that matter most.

Simply let us know what you’d like to say in the order notes before entering your payment details and we’ll make sure your words arrive alongside your chosen gift.    

A step-by-step guide to creating beautifully balanced arrangements at home There’s something truly special about a well-balanced floral arrangement. It has the power to transform a space, draw the eye, and bring a sense of calm, beauty and intention into your home. With a few simple principles and a thoughtful approach, you can create arrangements that feel natural, effortless and professionally styled every single time. Understanding the Building Blocks of an Arrangement Before you begin, it’s important to understand the three key elements that make up a well-balanced arrangement: 1. Foliage (Your Foundation) Foliage creates the base structure of your arrangement. It provides shape, movement and a natural framework for your flowers to sit within. Think of foliage as the skeleton of your arrangement. Examples: Eucalyptus, olive, fern, grass 2. Focal Flowers (Your Statement) These are your showstoppers - the ones that draw the eye and give your arrangement its character. They tend to be larger, more detailed, and are used more sparingly. Examples:  Peonies, hydrangeas, roses, dahlias, tulips, ranunculus  3. Filler Flowers (Your Softening Layer) Filler flowers add lightness, texture and movement. They help to break up the focal blooms and make the arrangement feel more natural and organic. Examples: Waxflower, sweetpea, blossom, white willow Step 1: Choose the Right Vase This is often overlooked, but it’s one of the most fundamentally important parts of the process. Your vase sets the tone for the entire arrangement. Consider scale: A large vase on a small coffee table will feel out of proportion, whereas smaller vases and pots are perfect for more intimate spaces. Think about placement: Larger vases work beautifully on console tables, kitchen islands or dining tables where they can create a statement. Neck opening matters: The wider the opening, the more stems you’ll need to create a full, balanced look. Colour and finish: Choose a vase that complements both your stems and your interior, it should feel cohesive within the space. Step 2: Work to the Right Proportions As a general rule of thumb, your arrangement should be around 1.5 times the height of your vase and 3 times the width. There are obviously circumstances where this wouldn’t apply, but I find this tip often gives people confidence as a starting point. It helps to create a sense of balance and ensures the arrangement feels intentional rather than top-heavy or underwhelming. Step 3: Prepare Your Stems Before placing anything into the vase, take 30 seconds to prepare your stems - this simple step makes all the difference. Gently fluff out the stems to open them up Separate and shape side shoots to add volume Bend stems slightly to create a more natural, organic feel This not only adds fullness, but it also helps faux stems look incredibly realistic. Step 4: Build Your Base with Foliage Start with your foliage to create the structure of your arrangement. Bend the stems to a height that feels well balanced with your vase For faux stems, don’t be afraid to bend them back on themselves, it makes arranging much easier Cross stems over within the vase to create a supportive base At this stage, your arrangement should feel light, airy and textural, with space ready for your florals to nestle into. Step 5: Add Your Focal Flowers Now it’s time to introduce your statement blooms. The key here is variation and balance: Place flowers at different heights and angles Avoid creating straight lines or symmetry Let one bloom gently lean over the edge of the vase Position another slightly taller, off to one side Space the remaining blooms naturally throughout Make sure the flower heads aren’t overcrowded, each one should have room to breathe. Step 6: Layer in Your Filler Flowers Filler flowers bring everything together. Nestle them in around your focal blooms Use them to soften the overall look and add movement This is where your arrangement starts to feel truly natural and effortless. Step 7: Step Back and Refine One of the most important habits to develop is stepping back regularly. Take a moment to assess: Are there any visible gaps? Does the shape feel balanced? Is there a natural flow from every angle? Are the flowers and vase working in harmony? Small adjustments here can completely elevate the final result. A Note on Faux Flowers One of the biggest advantages of working with faux stems is the flexibility they offer. You can bend, reshape and reposition them as many times as you like until you achieve the perfect arrangement - something that simply isn’t possible with fresh flowers. It also means your arrangement will look just as beautiful weeks, months, and even years later. Learn Alongside Us If you’d like to see these techniques brought to life, our YouTube channel is filled with real-time tutorials where I guide you through arranging step by step. Even better, all of our faux arrangements come with their own video tutorial, so you can follow along at home and recreate the exact look with ease. Final Thoughts Arranging flowers beautifully isn’t about perfection, it’s about creating something that feels natural, balanced and considered. Start with the right foundations, take your time, and trust your eye. With a little practice, you’ll begin to develop your own style, and in my opinion, that’s when the real magic really happens.
