Summer days are wonderful, but warmer weather means your flowers and plants often need a little extra care to keep them looking their best.

For fresh flowers:
🌸 Top up the vase every day – flowers can drink surprisingly quickly in warm weather.
✂️ Don't skip trimming the stems every 2-3 days because this helps them absorb more water.
☀️ Keep bouquets away from sunny windowsills!
🧼 Give the vase a quick wash when changing the water to keep heat-loving bacteria at bay.

For houseplants:
🪴 Check the soil before watering – don't water to a schedule. In summer, some plants need more frequent watering, while others still prefer to dry out between drinks.
💦 Water in the morning or evening, when less moisture is lost to evaporation.
🚿 Give dusty leaves a gentle wipe or shower – cleaner leaves absorb more light and help plants thrive.
🌿 If your plant is suddenly leaning towards the window, give it a quarter turn every week to encourage even growth.

Every flower and every plant is different, so we've created a dedicated Flower Care page with seasonal advice and variety-specific tips to help you get the very best from yours.

Flowers and fruit🍇🌸

One of our favourite wedding styling trends right now is pairing beautiful blooms with fresh produce to create rich, layered centrepieces full of colour, texture and personality.

It's a trend we couldn't resist exploring with Florence & Vera Events during our recent creative shoot at fivefourstudios , where our Plum Noir palette came to life through calla lilies, hydrangeas, anthuriums and an abundance of beautifully moody seasonal produce.

We layered grapes, plums, blackberries, figs, cherries, aubergines and even red cabbage throughout the styling to add unexpected texture, shapes and a real sense of abundance.

The result feels less like a traditional wedding centrepiece and more like a Renaissance still life brought to life.

We've shared more from the shoot, along with plenty more gorgeous images from Elle Howard Photography over on the blog!

Every now and then, it's important to step away from the brief, put creativity in the driving seat and simply play. That's exactly what this recent wedding editorial at Five Four Studios allowed us to do. Working alongside an incredibly talented team of wedding suppliers, we came together to explore...

Some people bring a bottle.

Some people bring crisps.

We’d like to make a case for flowers 🌸

Whether it’s a BBQ, lunch in the garden, dinner with friends or drinks on the patio, arriving with flowers says, “Thank you for inviting me.” It’s thoughtful, it’s generous and it brightens their home long after everyone’s gone.

Will it guarantee another invitation?

We can’t promise that...

But we’d be very surprised if it didn’t help. 😉

Browse our collection online or pop into the shop before the weekend!
