That moment when you walk into a hotel and stop. ๐ŸŒฟ

The flowers. Where did those come from?

Behind every magnificent display in every hotel lobby, every business reception, every beautifully dressed venue in Ireland, there is a florist who planned it, sourced it, built it and placed every stem with care.

That is what we do for our commercial and hospitality partners. Quietly, consistently and with the same attention we bring to every single bouquet.

If you are thinking about flowers for your business, your hotel or your reception this Christmas or any time of year, we would love to talk. ๐ŸŒธ

Mashy almost cries when hydrangea season ends. ๐ŸŒฟ

And honestly, we understand completely.

The season begins in June, builds through July, peaks in September and carries all the way into November. Five months of one of the most generous, versatile, breathtaking flowers in the world.

Early in the season the colours are bright. Soft pinks arriving first, bold and fresh. Then as September settles in, something shifts. The pinks deepen and soften into greens, into browns, into those extraordinary muted autumn tones that feel like the season itself is being held in a single bloom.

A vase with a few purple stems, a few pink, a few green together. That is all you need. The hydrangea does the rest.

Bigger in season. More beautiful. Stronger. More affordable. This is what it means to work with seasonal flowers and why we will never stop.

We work with the seasons because the seasons know what they are doing. ๐ŸŒธ

Lamber is always three steps behind when they deliver the bouquet. ๐ŸŒฟ

Mashy goes first. And from down the corridor he can already hear it. The moment they walk in. The Oh my god. The laughter. The sound of someone seeing something more beautiful than they imagined.

It never gets old.

The bride has spent months talking to wedding planners about tablecloth sizes and hotel managers about room layouts. Practical things. Necessary things. But somewhere along the way the emotional heart of the day can get a little lost in the logistics.

And then the bouquet arrives.

One bride told them she got emotional, not from sadness but from joy, because it was only in that moment, holding her flowers for the first time, that she could finally see the whole wedding. Everything clicked into place. The beautiful things had arrived.

Flowers carry the emotional weight of a wedding in a way that very few other elements can. They are not decoration. They are the feeling of the day, held in your hands. ๐ŸŒธ

This is The Wedding Edit, everything behind the beautiful.

This one came from an exhibition. ๐ŸŒฟ

A number of years ago Lamber was invited by the Design and Crafts Council Ireland to respond to a collection of vases with florals and plants. An Irish South African designer. Work that stopped him mid-room.

He bought this piece after the exhibition closed. Hand painted, two sides that feel almost like two different conversations. A dove, lambs, a woman on one face. Something quieter and more devotional on the other. A peace dove. An angel. A piece that asks you to keep turning it.

Since Christmas it has sat on the fireplace in the TV room with a few stems of dried Craspedia cascading over the edge. Nothing more. It has not moved. It does not need to.

This is what the right vessel does. It does not wait for a special occasion or a fresh delivery. It simply sits in your home and makes the room better every single day. ๐ŸŒธ

This is The Vase Edit, the vessels, the stories and the philosophy behind them.

We asked Mashy an impossible question. ๐ŸŒฟ

Three flowers. For the rest of your life. No seasons, no exceptions.

She resisted. She negotiated. She almost got away with adding a fourth.

And then she landed.

Matricaria first. Wild, daisy-like, free. Everything fantastic about a flower that does not try too hard.

Hydrangea second. Versatile, generous, every colour you could want. The flower that makes everything around it better.

And then, with a slight apology, roses. The scented ones, the spray roses, the ones that fill a room before you even see them.

She called it boring. We strongly disagree.

Those three flowers together would make a bouquet that could stop anyone in their tracks. And if you surrounded them with whatever the season had to offer, you would never need anything else. ๐ŸŒธ

What would your three be? Tell us below.

A warm sunny day is a dream for a garden wedding. ๐ŸŒฟ

For the florist, it is a beautiful challenge.

Everything has to be timed perfectly. On a hot day, you cannot set up too early. The flowers need to be as fresh as possible for the moment that actually matters, when the bride walks down the aisle.

So we work backwards from that moment. Last minute checks, a fine spray of water, every stem perfectly conditioned and placed as close to the ceremony as we can manage.

Nobody in that garden sees the timing behind it. They just see something breathtaking. ๐ŸŒธ

That is exactly how it should be.

One week on and the post-festival blues are very real. ๐ŸŒฟ

Every year, Kilkenny Arts Festival reminds us why we love this city so much. The energy, the creativity, the people. And every year when it ends, the quiet that follows takes a little getting used to.

We are so grateful to have been part of it again this year. Providing the flowers for the festival is one of the most meaningful things we get to do. We have been supporting Kilkenny Arts Festival for many years now and it never gets old. Being woven into the fabric of this community, year after year, is something we do not take for granted for a single moment.

One moment from this year that stayed with us long after the closing night. Mary Robinson, Ireland's first female president, took to the stage and spoke about sustainability and about something she called local, local, local. Everything we consume, everything we support, everything we purchase, nourished within our own communities. That is how we keep those communities alive.

After thirty years in Kilkenny, we felt that in our bones. ๐ŸŒธ

Until next year.

The orchid is one of the most generous flowers you can bring into your home. ๐ŸŒฟ

A little flower food, just a sprinkle. Fresh water every four days. A small trim of the stem each time. Clean vase, clean water, another sprinkle.

That is genuinely all it takes.

And in return? Weeks of bloom. The orchid does not ask for much and it gives back more than almost any other cut flower you will find.

That staying power is something special. And once you know how easy it is to maintain, you will never look at an orchid the same way again. ๐ŸŒธ

He worked a full week for this. ๐ŸŒฟ

1992. A student placement at Mobach, a ceramicist company whose work Lamber had already fallen in love with. At the end of the week, his employer offered him a choice. Payment, or something from the collection.

He had already decided.

It was more expensive than it should have been for a student to ask for. He talked very nicely to his employer. He came home with this.

Not a vase. A vessel. A railway sleeper in ceramic, weighted like something that has always belonged exactly where it sits.

It can hold tall grasses standing straight. Or you can tilt it on its side, half full of water, and let everything cascade downward. The water stays at the base. The flowers fall like they chose to.

This is what Lamber means when he talks about a collection. Not objects that hold flowers. Objects that hold stories. That sit on a counter and say something about the person who chose them, even on the days they hold nothing at all.

Some things you carry from one chapter of your life to the next. This is one of them. ๐ŸŒธ

This is The Vase Edit, the vessels, the stories and the philosophy behind them.

A good starting point for wedding flowers is 10% of your total budget. ๐ŸŒฟ

Not a rule. A guide. Something to work with while you are still figuring out what matters most to you.

Some couples come to us and say flowers are everything. They go beyond 10% and never look back.

Others come in and say they are flying in a saxophone player from Cuba and that is where the money is going.

And honestly? Both are completely valid. It is your day. It is your wedding. Nobody gets to tell you what should matter most.

But if you are at the beginning of planning and you need a number to work from, 10% is realistic, reasonable and a genuinely good place to start. ๐ŸŒธ

Curious what that could look like for your day? We would love to talk. Link in bio.
