Any home without floral display is never called complete. Fresh flowers and live plants always add a natural, refreshing touch to your living space.

If you're a beginner, you may sign up for preparatory workshops, like European Flower Arrangement (Elementary), in order to acquire various design skills in Western-style flower arrangements, including presentation of classic concepts, modernistic flower arrangement styles as well as other fundamentals.

If you already have some basic knowledge then you may consider taking some professional flower arrangement classes, such as Contemporary Freehand Vase Designs, that emphasis on ultimate modernistic design. This will give you the mastery of meticulous skills in applying stark minimalism to your floral displays.

For homes with minimalist design, light colours should dominate, such as white and light green. Be it vast or other decors, your floral displays can be placed somewhere in the wall corners, windowsills, on top of a piano or on the dining table to create a floral tablescape.

Applied aesthetically, high-contrast floral design matches amazingly with minimal and creative home design as well.

If you're keen on freehand flower arrangement then you can consider attending the workshop called Freehand (without oasis) Vase Arrangement Techniques to learn how to arrange and display flowers and plants casually - but creatively with bare hands.

What type of flower or plant is best for gardening?
We do not usually plant fresh-cut flowers in the garden as it doesn't last long. If we really have to do so, we choose seasonal flowers which can withstand outdoor weather conditions.

Springtime is muggy, and it's ideal literally for all sorts of flowers and plants, preferably pastel colours in the garden. Examples: Hyacinth, Tulips, Roses or Alliums.

In the summer, tropical flowers makes great choice, like Sunflower, Water Lilies, Cymbidium Orchids, Anthuriums or Delphiniums.

Dancing Ladies, Peonies and Calla Lilies are best for the autumn when it's cool and dry. Bella Donna Lilies, Hydrangea, Hedera or Viburnums are recommended for winter.


What type of flower or plant is best for office or reception area?
For office reception, we may choose flowers in colours that match with the lighting and colour tone. We may use warm colours, but white and green are refreshing for hot summer days.

We may use flowers that can last for a few days, like Bella Donna Lilies, Ornithogalums, Bird of Paradise, Heliconias and go with some characterised foliages like Scotch Broom, Dragons Willows or Big Rain Forest leaves to create a dramatic effect.


What type of flower or plant is best for corporate events?
As for corporate events, it's crucial to impress every attendee especially your guests. Therefore, big flowers and foliages are recommended. However, colours should depend on the event's nature, the business as well as the season.

If it's an annual dinner in the winter then Burgundy going with lime green is definitely trendy! (Alternatively Hydrangea and Peony going with Viburnum) It brings out your corporate identity if the right colour tone and setting are chosen.

**Professional advice should be sought for corporate events as other factors may affect the use of flower, colour and style. **
