As spring arrives, we’re all looking for a way to add colour to our homes. We teamed up with a local florist to do exactly that, creating breath-taking floral arrangements inside of our Newlyn, Hepworth, and Flora plant pots to capture the essence of spring.

Avril is a talented florist and skilled gardener with an eye for design. At her studio in Shropshire, we worked with Avril as she carefully curated key pieces to complement the shape and finish of each plant pot. You can visit Avril's website and follow her Instagram account here!

Avril started with our Marine 316 Stainless Steel Newlyn pots. To highlight their symmetrical shape and tapered base, these pots were filled with tall, slender Narcissus flowers surrounded by textured green fir. Shades of green and pale yellow were selected to complement the cool undertones of the Satin and Polished Marine 316 Stainless Steel.

When styling our curved Hepworth pots, Avril opted for larger, statement pieces. In our 28cm Satin Stainless Steel Hepworth pot, she added a deep green Camellia plant with bright pink flowers. This contrasted brilliantly with the matt finish of the Satin Stainless Steel.

In the smaller Hepworth pots, Avril used a mixture of purple and white Hyacinths finished with a layer of moss to protect the arrangements. This colour combination worked beautifully with our Polished Stainless Steel Hepworth pots which mirror their surroundings with a depth of reflection.

Our Flora plant pots feature the same reflective qualities in Smooth Brass, Copper, and Nickel finishes. For our Smooth Copper Flora plant pots, bright and bold florals were used to accentuate the warm undertones of the copper. This brought a bright and cheery feel to the arrangement, instantly livening up any space.

Avril created cascading bouquets which draped over the scalloped edges of our Flora pots, but the more slender shape of our Flora vases lend themselves to taller structures. With these, Avril experimented with long, curved branches connected to pearlescent seed pods. The iridescent qualities of these seed pods paired with the shine of our Smooth Brass Flora vase made a mesmerising centre piece, ideal for creating a statement in any home.

Avril used a similar technique to style our large Marine Stainless Steel Flora plant pots. Using giant dried seed pods intertwined with delicate purple flowers, she created an impressive exhibition of floristry held in place by our Satin Stainless Steel Flora pot.

We thoroughly enjoyed working with Avril to style our Newlyn, Hepworth, and Flora plant pots, and the results speak for themselves!
