Summer Ideas...

Summer is here, and at Pinks, this is one of our favourite times of year. There are lots of lovely summer flowers to choose from, our summer collection is in bloom and with summer BBQ's and events it's the perfect time to show off your summertime arrangements. But once your whole bouquet is coming to the end of it's life, or if you only want to splash out on those odd indiviual flowers, there are lots of ways you can display them around your home. 

We absolutely love the idea of using empty glass bottles and jars to display individual flowers. In a bouquet, some flowers will last longer than others, so if some of the main flowers still have life in them, change the water they are in, and recut the stems, and stand in warm water. Then place in a clean, recycled glass container, and they will beautifully brighten up your surroundings.

Another idea is china you no longer use, or vintage. The tea cup above is perfect for preserving a button hole or corsage from a wedding, to appreciate the special day for even longer, or certain parts of your summertime bouquet.

The teapots are also an absolutely stunning idea. We have some potted plants available at our stores now, so why not arrange them with this fun idea? Perfect for summer tulips, to brighten up any windowsill.

Our expert florists will be happy to advise which flowers will work best for these ideas, so pop into one of our stores!
