1. Understanding Your Space and Style

When choosing the perfect flowers,  Assess your space and personal style. Delve into the color scheme and decor of the room where the flowers will be displayed. Whether you prefer classic elegance or modern eclecticism, understanding your space and style preferences will be your guiding light in selecting flowers that seamlessly complement and enhance your home's overall ambiance.

2. Selecting the Right Flower Types

Each flower is a unique masterpiece and when composed with the right selection, style and vessel, Your space can be ultimately transformed. 

Whether your space is open and the arrangement is viewed from all angles, or front facing and against a wall will determine the shapes of blooms you select to fill your vase.  

Phalaenopsis orchids are FABULOUS for front facing arrangements as they dangle over the vase and add drama to any arrangement.  Roses, Tulips, Peonies and other round flowers are best suited to all round arrangements.

Your foliage will be the biggest key to holding everything in place so it's best to start with a beautiful big bunch of leaves, next comes the blooms and finally any extra leaves or sticks to add intertest.

3. Considering Flower Maintenance

The most important thing to remember is that your stems are like living beings.  They need to be cut in order to drink.  The best way to take care of your new blooms is to get them home, fill your vase, cut your stems and place them into fresh water right away.    For best results repeat this every 3 days.  Flowers form a seal across the stem once they leave the shop and wont drink unless cut the stem first.  

4. Seasonal Flower Selection

Embrace the beauty of each season with our delightful selection of seasonal flowers for your home decor.   Spring brings enchanting options like daffodils, jonquils, hellebores, ranunculus, flowering magnolias and cherry blossoms.  In the warmth of summer, Hydrangeas (our personal FAVE), dahlia’s, calla lilies, Fragrant garden roses, and gloriosa lily, why not infuse your home with radiance and bring your space to life.

5. Pairing Flowers and Vases

At The Green Room, we know that the perfect vase can enhance the beauty of your flowers even further. Match your blooms with vases that complement both the flowers and your home's decor. Clear glass vases showcase the natural elegance of the stems and allow you to create stunning arrangements, however we prefer the glamour and edge of colourful vessels of all shapes and sizes.

For a touch of rustic charm, consider vintage-style ceramic or metal vases. Remember to choose a vase size that ensures your flowers fit proportionally and securely.

6. Flower Arrangement Tips

At The Green Room, our floral experts have mastered the art of arranging flowers to create captivating centerpieces. Allow us to share some useful tips:

  • Height and Proportion: Experiment with different flower heights to achieve visual balance. Taller blooms like gladioli add vertical interest, while shorter flowers like ranunculus create fullness.
  • Colour Harmony: Play with color combinations that complement each other. Monochromatic arrangements exude elegance, while vibrant hues add a playful touch.
  • Texture and Filler: Enhance your arrangement with diverse textures and foliage. Baby's breath, eucalyptus, or ferns act as stunning fillers.
  • Cutting and Watering: Trim stems at an angle before placing them in water. Changing the water regularly ensures your flowers stay fresh for longer.
