Children In Need – Christmas table arrangement
Posted by miranda | Filed under eFlorist News
Not all employees at eFlorist HQ are florists, some of us (me included) are new to the art. So when 7 places were up for auction for employees to take part in an in-house floristry school (in aid of the BBC’s Children In Need appeal), we jumped at the chance of having a go.
Sarah Clerke, eFlorist’s IT Project Manager and former professional florist, set up the day school to demonstrate how to make a Christmas flower table arrangement.
Top Tip: Make sure you keep the foam topped up with water so it doesn’t dry out. The foliage will most likely last longer than the flowers so simply remove any that are wilting and replace with fresh flowers.
eFlorist Christmas Song
Posted by miranda | Filed under eFlorist News
At eFlorist we love our jobs, believe in what we do and are proud of the products and service we provide to the public. So much so in fact that some of our employees felt compelled to write, produce and create a Christmas song, under their own steam and in their own time.
We believe that flowers have the power to change people’s lives.
Please take a moment to hear our song.
Christmas Flowers – gifts and decorations
Posted by miranda | Filed under eFlorist News
Have you been invited to a Christmas party or for dinner on the day itself this year? Not sure what to take the host? Instead of the usual bottle of wine or box of chocolates, how about taking a bouquet of flowers in appreciation for all their hard work and planning, or a floral centre piece such as a candle arrangement for the table?
Giving flowers at Christmas not only makes a wonderfully unexpected and thoughtful Christmas present that the host will adore but they can also make a fantastic focal point that will last well in to the New Year.
Ordering flowers online makes the whole process really convienient too. Simply choose to have the flowers delivered to the party in advance or to your home so you can take them to the party yourself (which will look like you’ve taken the time and effort to go to a florist and pick the flower arrangement).
Of course if you are the host and have all the bases covered; food, drinks, decorations and party games, don’t forget the Christmas table decoration too. A simple floral arrangement can be the perfect finishing touch, a colourful addition and great conversation piece.
Topaz – December bouquet of the month
Posted by miranda | Filed under eFlorist News
This month’s bouquet of the month is inspired by the birthstone Topaz. An aquapack bouquet of fresh green Chrysantheumums, creamy Carnations and rich, purple Lisianthus, Liatris with a dash of hooded Aconitum, make this a gorgeous flower bouquet and simply perfect for the festive season.
So whether you are looking for a Christmas flower bouquet that’s slightly different to the classic Christmas red and white arrangements or if you’re just not sure what to send to someone this month, the Topaz bouquet of the month is ideal for you.
Christmas Flowers 2011
Posted by miranda | Filed under eFlorist News
Its hard to think about Christmas in October particularly when we’ve been enjoying such wonderful weather. Imagine then planning and preparing a Christmas flower range in the height of summer. Our designers, florists and photographers were working around the clock to create a festive setting for our new Christmas flower collection.
With the range now in the final stages of preparation in rediness for circulation, we thought you might be interested in a behind the scenes sneaky peak, to see what its like working on a Christmas flower photoshoot.
A Christmas scene is set complete with fireplace, Christmas tree and lights. The bouquets prepared in advance by our expert florist, wait to be photographed all the while more bouquets are made up – each one carefully documented along the way so we know what it consists of and what wrapping and ribbon to use. The documentation stage is critical as we need to ensure that each bouquet can be recreated by our florists up and down the country. A few finishing touches and tweaks by our designer perfects the bouquet, ready for its close up.
Christmas Flowers – Christmas Presents
Posted by miranda | Filed under eFlorist News
Trying to find that perfect present for friends and family at Christmas can be particularly difficult. Maybe you have someone tricky to buy for who seems to have everything they need already or maybe they are just very particular in terms of what they like. Instead of spending hours trawling the high street looking for the ultimate gift, why not send or give Christmas Flowers this Christmas?
Presents of Christmas flowers are becoming increasingly more and more popular, with a wide selection of styles, colours and stems available that would really suit just about anyone. The important factor to consider of course is the person to whom you want to send your flowers to. So think about their favourite colours, flowers and even the kind of Christmas decorations they already have in their home. Traditional Christmas colour schemes are of course, white, gold, red, silver and green, but trends change and deep purples are in this year.
You don’t have to just stop at giving flowers either, whether you’ve chosen an arrangement, a bouquet or a basket of Christmas flowers, there are gifts you can add to make the present extra special. Chocolates, bears and hampers make great Christmas flower present additions.
Its not just friends and family you can buy for, Christmas is the perfect time to build bridges or get back in touch with someone, with peace and good will to all being the sentiment of the season. Of course to others it may just be a simple matter of the religious significance, with churches around the country being decorated with flowers for Christmas. Really, there are many reasons why it’s a great idea to send flowers at Christmas.
