Florets - Floral Quote - # 65 - by Vic Brotherson

" In the shop, if a vase with yellow roses is accidentally sat alongside a jug of white stock and a jar of pinks my heart will sink. On the other hand, if a bucket of lilacs is sat beside a bunch of magnolias the day will surely be good. When buying flowers it is easiest to set a palette and carry it through the house, this way you can always change your mind on what goes where. In many homes the backdrop is neutral, with accents of colour coming from fabric, art or flowers, and this makes the job of sticking to a colour theme much easier. Of course, colour is subjective (I struggle with red) but ultimately colour is there to be explored."

Florets - Floral Quote by Vic Brotherson

"One of the luxuries of working with fresh flowers is that they are already beautiful, making it hard to go wrong when it comes to displaying them. I know I am lucky to have a shop full of flowers, but even if your budget is tiny and your flower choices are limited it is always possible to create something beautiful, especially if you have the right container."
