A mixed-colour bouquet is the one to send when you do not know what someone likes. It is also the hardest to do badly and the easiest to do beautifully, because the flowers carry it rather than a single shade.
Mixed Colour Flowers — Questions We Are Asked
Is a mixed bouquet a safe choice, or a lazy one?
Safe, if it is built rather than bunched. A good mixed bouquet has a structure — something large for volume, something spiky for movement, something small for texture, foliage to hold it together — and a palette that has been chosen even though it is not one colour. What makes a mixed bouquet look cheap is randomness, not variety.
What goes into your mixed bouquets?
It follows the season, which is the point. Late summer and autumn lean on hydrangeas, dahlias, chrysanthemums, roses and grasses; spring and early summer on tulips, ranunculus, anemones and peonies; the year round on roses, lisianthus, carnations and eucalyptus. Around sixty products sit here today, from £25 up to the large arrangements with the middle near £102.
Can I say which colours to leave out?
Yes, and it is the most useful thing you can tell us. Most people have one colour they dislike rather than one they love. Put it in the order notes — “nothing yellow”, “no carnations”, “keep it soft” — and our florists will work around it at the same price.
How quickly can you deliver a mixed bouquet?
Order by 10 PM and we deliver the same day across London and Greater London, seven days a week; elsewhere in the UK, two to three working days, set into wet foam so it arrives arranged.
