Find your bunch

Choosing flowers for somebody else is mostly four small decisions, so the finder asks them one at a time and then does the matching for you. It reads the studio’s live catalogue (the bunches actually on the bench in Sevenoaks this week, at this week’s prices) rather than a list written months ago, so what it suggests can always be bought today, arranged to order and delivered by the van or posted through the letterbox.

1. 01Who are the flowers for?

   A gift for somebody · My own home · In sympathy · A wedding, a party, a business

2. 02What is the occasion?

   A birthday · Romance, an anniversary · A thank you · Mum · A new home, a get well · In memory · Just because. Pick any that fit.

3. 03Which look is theirs?

   Wild and gardeny · Classic and romantic · Bright and joyful · Green and lasting · Everlasting

4. 04And roughly how much?

   Under £60 · £60 – £90 · £90 – £150 · Whatever it takes

Nothing is kept unless you ask for the three matches by email, and that email is not a mailing list. If it helps to start from the meaning of a flower instead, the language of flowers is arranged by occasion, and the sympathy page covers funeral flowers on its own.
