Whether your getting married, have a major celebration coming up or love filling the rooms of your house, flowers can be used to say something in a much more expressive way. Our Lifestyle team have prepared a guide of the meaning of flowers to help when you want to express your feelings or gratitude to the recipient.
Colour is quite often the first factor considered when we are selecting flowers, however there is more to picking beautiful blooms than the hue. Our seasonal guide will help you plan for your next occasion with the blooms that are in season.
