Flowers just make everything better.
Below is a guide to how flowers can work across different kinds of events, and the types of arrangements that tend to suit each one.

Getting married
Wedding flowers don’t need to follow a set formula—they just need to feel right for you and the space you’re in. It can be as simple or as detailed as you like, from a few key pieces to the whole thing.
Some options:
Bridal bouquets (loose, natural, or more structured)
Bridesmaid posies
Buttonholes and corsages
Ceremony flowers (pedestals, arches, aisle arrangements)
Table centrepieces (bud vases, jam jars, grouped arrangements, or larger designs)
Statement pieces for entrances or key areas
Saying goodbye
Funeral flowers are about marking a life and creating something that feels appropriate to the person and the moment. The approach is often simple and considered, without being overly formal unless that’s what’s wanted.
Typical arrangements include:
Wreaths (traditional or more relaxed, open styles)
Coffin sprays
Posies and tied sheaves
Simple vase arrangements for the service, reception or at home
Personalised tributes using particular flowers or colours
Having a party
Flowers just make an event better! They can be used across a space or focused in a few key areas.
Common options:
Table centrepieces (from small vases to fuller arrangements)
Bar or food table flowers
Entrance or hallway arrangements
Outdoor setups where needed
A few larger pieces to anchor the space
Something at the office
Flowers in a work setting can make a space feel more welcoming. They can be used for one-off events or as part of a regular setup.
Typical arrangements include:
Reception desk flowers
Meeting room arrangements
Event or launch styling
Regular weekly or fortnightly displays
Larger pieces for key moments or client-facing spaces
