“”If you are interested in something, no matter what it is, go at it at full speed ahead. Embrace it with both arms, hug it, love it and above all become passionate about it. Lukewarm is no good. Hot is no good either. White hot and passionate is the only thing to be.””

In the box this week

White disbuds
These giant chrysanthemums are a favourite of ours. Usually terribly misused in bouquets, these giant spindly blooms are minimal perfection styled just on their own or clustered in a simple arrangement.
Long lasting and hardy, these beauties take little care. Just remove the lower leaves and trim the stems at a sharp angle before popping in fresh water every couple of days

White carnations
These giant ruffly carnations are not the daggy supermarket blooms you remember! They’re gorgeous clustered together and layered with other blooms. Trim their stems and change water regularly to boost their staying power.
This week’s beauties are a long-lasting snowy white that will remind you of jumping into crisp white sheets.

Singapore orchids
Juicy colour tinged blossoms burst from long, leggy stems, and with little care they last for weeks.
This week’s orchids are a fresh white with a tinge of green towards the ends.

Little gem magnolia
We think little gem is the queen of foliage with their deep glossy leaves and coppery gold undersides.
A sprig or two goes a long way in a super luxe minimal arrangement – think all white flowers offset with deep green foliage – bliss!
Styling instructions

1. Remove lower leaves
Strip and clean your stems, removing any leaves and knobbly offshoots that would fall below the water line.

2. Fluff up your disbuds
Gently remove the protective netting from your disbuds and fluff up the petals gently. Sometimes warm breath will also do the trick!

3. Measure your blooms
Loosely bunch your blooms and measure them up against your vase to get a rough idea of where to cut your stems

4. Cut your stems
Trim off your stems at the right length, trying to cut as a sharp an angle as possible to improve the stem’s drinking ability.

5. Arrange your blooms
Pop your blooms into your favourite ceramic vase, one by one. Tweak individual stem lengths so you get perfect layering action but be careful not to bruise your flowers as you pull them in and out of your vase.

6. Style up an all white storm!
Let your all white arrangement shine and arrange a minimal tablescape complete with lots of glass, white plates and a few metallic touches. Then invite your gal pals over for a night of sophisticated conversation and SATC reruns.
You adult good.
Watch it in action!
