Winter Bouquets
Inspiration for winter 08/09is one of contrast, the rich glowing warmth of indoors against the sharp winter chill and austerity of outdoors.
A glamorous palette of silver, pewter, and white, the basis of our 'North Star' bouquet. Teamed with spangly accessories and wrapped in sheeny metallic papers, this bouquet brings a touch of lavish glitz, sure to dispel dark winter gloom.
Decadent dark chocolate hues, cinnamon tones and marshmallow accents make our 'Hot Chocolate' bouquet and indulgent choice.
'Fanciful Elegance' is an exquisite palette of nudes, creams and golds, whimsical shapes and playful proportions. Your bouquet is finished with an outsized bow for party season extravagance!
For elegant textures and delicate winter grace, icy, white on white, spidery fern and exquisite blooms make up our 'Snow Queen' bouquet.
'A Winters Tale' is the natural choice evoking thoughts of an enchanted forest, organic and woody. Scented eucalyptus, blue pine, holly and willow may be found within 'A Winters Tale' bouquet.
'Ho! Ho! Ho!' , lush greens and contrasting vivid reds make this bouquet a long established and charming favourite.
Autumn Bouquets
Inspiration for Autumn 2008 is based on a good strong colour palette that is rich and earthy.
Tints and tones of fiery reds are at the core of our 'Miss Scarlet' bouquet. Vivid hues of red dominate with a heady mix of cherry, coral, crimson, ruby and maroon. We select from an extensive range of cut flowers, ornamental cabbage, glossy blooms, exquisite amarylis and beautiful roses that make up a striking 'Miss Scarlet'.
Cool hues of blue/black ink, azure, cobalt, navy, and sapphire make up the rich palette of 'Indigo Bazaar'. Scented eucalyptus, ornamental cabbage, spiky thistle and elegant monkshood may well make an appearance in your 'Indigo Bazaar' bouquet.
'Vintage Secret Garden' embraces a grown up palette of pale pinks, nudes, cappuccino, and taupes. This bouquet is reminiscent of a lost era and one that may feature magnificent creamy blooms, fluffy carnations and delicate roses. The result is one of mild dusty hues, pretty and gently feminine.
Embrace the rich autumnal shades of 'Bohemian Charm', mixing apricot gold, rich ginger, sienna, amber, terracotta and burnt ochre. Rusty orange blooms, playful gerbera and aubergine tones of leucadendron and grasses make this bouquet a time honoured favourite.
For October and with Halloweens imminent arrival, we, at The Secret Garden love, 'An Ugly Bunch'! The perfect antidote to dark autumnal evenings with rusty oranges, brilliant greens, blood reds, luxurient purples, curious textures and unusual forms. We carefully select the ugliest gourds, robust strelitzia leaves, extraordinary banksia, elegant anthurium and unusual pincushion protea to lurk within 'An Ugly Bunch'! Pair your 'Ugly Bunch' with a carved pumpkin for an enchanted Halloween.
We select our materials from an extensive range of cut flowers that are sourced from numerous British and Dutch suppliers. We receive deliveries on a daily basis, which means the stock is different everyday. It is worth noting that whilst the core elements of our bouquets stay the same, each handtied is individually crafted, so, no two are ever exactly the same.
