How To Create A Beautiful Floral Tablescape

How To Create A Beautiful Floral Tablescape? Why not decorate your dining table or buffet table with a colourful and eye catching floral tablescape arrangement. A floral tablescape will transform your dining table and will most certainly be a conversation starter among your guests.

For Spring, decorate your table with nature’s favorite colors—blues, greens, pinks, and yellows. These bright colours will instantly make your table more fun. There are so many Spring flowers that will look fabulous in any tablescape arrangement including tulips, daisies, narcissi, hyacinths and hydrangeas, as well as roses in a variation of striking Spring colours.

Our top tip when creating floral tablescapes it to keep the arrangement low to the table. Tall blooms may look fabulous, but they do tend to hinder conversation across the table.

Floral tablescapes may usually be arranged in foam or small containers, however an assortment of washed-out jam jars, mason jars, jugs or teacups will look equally as stunning.

Here are some simple steps to follow using jars:

– Make sure there is some water in the jars to keep the flowers looking fresh.

– Create small bunches of flowers and add them to the jars.

– Arrange the jars along the center of the table to create your floral tablescape.

– Add some extra accessories along the table such as bows, glitter sequence, sweets etc.

Table centerpieces are an essential part of your event décor, if you need any further tips on how to create the perfect floral tablescape, call us and a member of our team would be happy to give some suggestions on flowers or how to complete the arrangement.

Tips to Keep Your Flower Bouquet Blooming. Now that you have received your stunning flower bouquet from Quiggs Florist, here are a few top tips to keeping your flowers looking perfect. Keep in mind that it can take 2-3 days for your stems to reach their full potential, as at Quiggs Florist we only provide the freshest and highest quality flowers when creating your bouquet.

• Use the Flower Food supplied

Drop in the supplied flower food into your vase and follow the instructions on the packaging. This magical little solution will nourish your stems and will help your flower bouquet to last much longer.

• Regularly Trim the Stems

After you have unwrapped your flower bouquet, it is important to cut the stems at a 45-degree angle before placing them into a vase. We recommend using shears if you have them or a sharp scissors to ensure a clean cut. Continue to trim the stems every couple days and this will continue to add life to your bouquet.

• Change the Water in the Vase

One of the best tips for getting the most enjoyment out of your bouquet is to replenish the water regularly with fresh, cold water. Make sure to remove any foliage or leaves that fall under the waterline of the vase.

• Keep in Indirect Light

After placing your flowers in the vase, male sure to keep them in a spot with indirect sunlight. If you’d like for your blooms to open up more quickly, this can be done using warm water to gently coax the flowers open.

Finally, every single stem has a different expected vase life so as each begins to expire, make sure to pull them out to keep the other blooms fresher for longer. At Quiggs Florist our experienced florists are always on hand to offer you the best advice when it comes to keeping your flower bouquet blooming and we love to create stunning flower bouquets that fit every occasion.

Most of us love having fresh flowers in our homes, whether they appear as a weekly bouquet, a once in a while treat, or reserved for special occasions. However, there may be more to it. Flowers have been shown to have extraordinary power over people, affecting our moods, improving our health and work performance. Quiggs Florists looked at 3 reasons why everyone should introduce fresh flowers into their home.

Boost Your Mood

Scientific research has shown that flowers can genuinely boost your mood, increasing happiness and decreasing feelings of stress and anxiety. Researchers have put this amazing side effect down to a culturally learned association of flowers as a symbol of positivity. It’s no wonder when flowers are present at some of our happiest events like weddings, birthdays, and new births. Flowers can also trigger memories of these special events or of approaching spring and summer, a time when most of us are generally happier.

Improve Your Work Life

On top of decreasing stress, flowers have also been reported to lift concentration levels and creativity, and increase cognitive performance. For people who work from home and want to improve their concentration, or need a creative lift, a bouquet of fresh flowers is an easy way to stimulate both. Putting them in your home office or on your desk at work is a sure fire way to reap the benefits, with bright colours or a creative arrangement even more beneficial for getting the creative juices flowing. If calming is your aim, opt for lighter colours that fall near to each other on the colour wheel, whilst choosing blooms in bright and opposite colours will energise you.

Decorate Your Home

Flowers are a quick way to decorate your home; pulling together your personal style and making your living space appear more polished. Not only are flowers are a beautiful finishing touch to your interior design, they have the ability to change the feel of your home or of particular rooms. Bright arrangements can lift the vibes of your living space, brightening homes with dark furniture or limited light. More understated bouquets can make a hectic home feel calmer, or an arrangement of one colour in varying shades can tie together your colour theme. Changing the feel of your home depending on the season is also made easy through the use of flowers.

These are some of our reasons why you should have fresh flowers in your home.
