Summer Grace

We named this arrangement rather tongue in cheek as we look outside onto one of the wettest ‘summers’ we’ve seen for a long time, but ever British, we remain hopeful for a peek of the sunshine at some point. With that in mind, we plucked some summer inspiring blooms, that hark to a sun dappled garden and freshly picked florals. The hammered glass jug gives it that ‘freshly arranged in the kitchen’ vibe.

Method
The beauty of some of our spray stems is that they work perfectly as a starting structure for an arrangement. I like to start this one as a hand tie and start grouping together before placing in the vase.

Using the fern, separate the fronds and then start to place the flowers at random intervals. Add in the hypericum and olive branch and then place in the jug. Tease into position. Break down the berry bouquet into five separate stems and inject into the arrangement. They will all look different, but uniquely so in your own style.
