Flowers can effortlessly turning any space into a lively and welcoming haven. Be it an intimate dinner, a birthday bash, or a grand celebration, the perfect floral arrangements have the ability to add elegance and beauty into your event. Their vibrant presence acts as a natural adornment, and sets the stage for a memorable experience. 

What Blooms Mean to Us at Ever and Maple?

At Ever and Maple, flowers are what we live and breathe for, they add beauty and style and convey so much meaning. We don’t merely arrange flowers; we send messages and emotions through the blooms that we arrange.

Let’s talk about the factors that should be considered while choosing the right flowers for your occasion.

Choosing the Right Flowers

• Consider the Theme:

The first step in choosing flowers for your party is to consider the overall theme. Different occasions call for different blooms. For a romantic dinner, opt for soft and delicate flowers like roses or peonies, creating an intimate ambience that speaks of love. Alternatively, for a lively birthday celebration, vibrant and bold flowers such as sunflowers or gerbera daisies lift the atmosphere with energy and joy.

• Seasonal Selections:

Choosing seasonal flowers that are in bloom locally will ensure freshness and availability. Toowoomba is known for it’s flowers and there are so many flower options throughout the year

Your local Toowoomba florist can guide you on the seasonal varieties available for your event, ensuring your floral arrangements resonate with the mood of your event.

• Colour Palette:

Whether you’re sticking to a specific theme or coordinating with the venue decor, selecting flowers in complementary colours will create a cohesive and visually appealing atmosphere. 

Let the blossoms either be part of the colour scheme or be a contrast colour so that they make a striking display

• Consider Fragrance:

The fragrance of flowers can enhance the overall experience of your event. Discuss the fragrances of different blooms with your florist and choose flowers that will add a subtle and pleasant scent to the air without overwhelming the space. There are some flowers that can be overly perfumed and not always suitable for a smaller venues as some people can be sensitive to fragrance.

• Durability Matters:

While you want your flowers to look stunning throughout the event, it’s essential to consider their durability. Choose hardy flowers that can withstand the duration of your party without wilting prematurely. Opting for resilient blooms ensures that your floral arrangements remain a focal point, captivating guests from the beginning to the end of your celebration.

Arranging Your Blooms

• Vary Heights and Sizes:

Create visual interest by incorporating flowers of varying heights and sizes in your arrangements. Tall blooms like lilies or gladiolus can add drama, while smaller flowers like baby’s breath or ranunculus can fill in the gaps. Playing with height and size not only adds dimension but also creates a dynamic visual flow, transforming your floral arrangements into captivating works of art that captivate guests from every angle.

• Focus on Focal Points:

Every arrangement needs a focal point. Choose one or two standout flowers, such as orchids or dahlias, and build the arrangement around them. This will draw attention and create a sense of balance. A well-defined focal point not only anchors the arrangement but also guides the eye, allowing for a seamless appreciation of the overall composition.

• Use Contrasting Textures:

Mix and match flowers with different textures to add depth to your arrangements. Combining smooth petals with more textured blooms creates a visually stimulating display that captivates the eye.

• Incorporate Greenery:

Don’t underestimate the power of greenery. Foliage like eucalyptus, ferns, or creepers can complement your flower choices, adding a touch of freshness and creating a well-rounded arrangement. Greenery bridges the different elements in your arrangement and bringing a natural, organic balance to the overall composition.

• Choose the Right Vases:

The right vase can make all the difference. Factor in the size and design of your vase in relation to your flowers. A narrow neck can support delicate blooms, while a wider opening is ideal for larger arrangements. The vase isn’t just a container; it’s part of the overall design so make sure that your vases also work with your flowers. Remember you can mix and match vases if you are doing a boho styles event – nothing looks more gorgeous than different crystal bud vases being used as tablecentre pieces or we can help create a standing arrangement that includes a vase so it one less thing you have to worry about
