A loose hand-tied bouquet of apricot garden roses, rust ranunculus, white lisianthus and airy sprigs, tied with a linen ribbon and lying on warm paper in soft window light.

Three flowers in Fig. 01

    Garden rose

Entry 01How it works

Three things to tell us. The rest is ours to compose.

  1. The occasion

    A birthday, a thank-you, a new home, or a quiet “thinking of you”. It sets the tone of the gesture.

  2. The mood

    How should it feel? Warm and gently wild, bright and joyful, soft and serene. Words like these are all a florist needs.

  3. The palette

    Colours they love, colours to avoid, or simply “surprise me”.

  4. The florist’s eye

    You decide how closely the florist follows your notes, from “just as described” to complete creative freedom.

Entry 02Two formats

Two ways to give it.

Every piece is bespoke, so the pictures show a style rather than a product. Choose the format that suits the moment.

Two hands tying a linen ribbon around the gathered stems of a peach, rust and cream bouquet.

Hand-tied bouquet

Stems gathered in the hand and tied with ribbon: made to be carried and handed over in person, then placed in the recipient’s own vase.

Fig. 02AI-generated illustrative concept, not a product available to order.

A loose, airy arrangement of peach roses, rust ranunculus and white lisianthus in a low stone-coloured bowl on a linen-covered table.

Vase arrangement

Composed into a vessel, so it’s ready to display from the moment it’s given. Useful when the recipient may not have a vase to hand.

Entry 03Moods

Choose a feeling, not a flower.

Six starting points, each shown as one illustrative bouquet. Pick the closest; the brief asks about colours separately, or you can leave both to the florist.

  • A loose bouquet of apricot garden roses, rust ranunculus and white lisianthus with airy sprigs.

    Warm & gently wild

    Apricot, rust and cream, with loose, airy stems that look freshly gathered.

  • A bright bouquet of coral dahlias, pink ranunculus and marigold-yellow blooms with willowy green leaves.

    Bright & joyful

    Coral, marigold and leaf green. Generous, sunny and made for celebrating.

  • A white and cream bouquet of garden roses, cosmos and lisianthus with delicate white sprays and soft green leaves.

    Soft & serene

    Ivory, cream and pale green. Quiet and restful, for gentle moments.

  • A rich bouquet of deep magenta dahlias, crimson ranunculus, mauve roses and violet sprigs with touches of peach.

    Deep & dramatic

    Deep magenta, crimson and violet. Rich, layered and a little theatrical.

  • A leafy green bouquet with lime-green blooms, white cosmos, ferns and eucalyptus.

    Fresh & green

    Leafy greens with white blooms. Crisp and garden-like, led by foliage as much as flowers.

  • A soft mixed bouquet of peach garden roses, lilac lisianthus, pale yellow ranunculus and white cosmos.

    Florist’s choice

    One illustrative interpretation, not a promised arrangement. Yours would be composed for your occasion.

Entry 04Interpretation

Room for the florist’s eye.

Leave the flowers to us

You never need to name a flower. Describe the mood and palette, and the florist chooses stems to suit. If there’s a flower you’d love, or one you’d rather avoid, mention it in your note.

Expect the season to show

Flowers are seasonal, so the exact stems vary with what’s fresh. Your finished piece won’t match a picture exactly, and isn’t meant to. What holds steady is your mood, your palette and your chosen format.

Your mood and palette are the brief. The stems are the florist’s to find.

Entry 05Before you start

What to have in mind.

  • The occasion. Birthday, thank-you, anniversary, sympathy, or just because.
  • Bouquet or vase. To hand over in person, or ready to display. You can also let the florist suggest.
  • A feeling. The mood you’d like it to carry.
  • Colours. A palette they’d love, or leave it open.
  • How much freedom. Follow your notes closely, or give the florist free rein.
  • Anything else, briefly. A favourite colour, or a strong scent to avoid.

Entry 06Questions

Questions, answered.

What style can I request?

A hand-tied bouquet or a vase arrangement, shaped by a mood (warm and gently wild, bright and joyful, soft and serene, deep and dramatic, or fresh and green) and a colour palette. You can leave the format, mood or palette to the florist.

Can I leave flower choices to the florist?

Yes. That’s the idea. You describe the feeling and the colours; the florist chooses the stems. The brief also asks how closely you’d like your notes followed.

What details should I prepare?

The occasion, bouquet or vase, a mood, a palette and how much freedom to give the florist. An optional short note can cover anything else. No personal details are needed.

Can the finished arrangement vary with seasonal availability?

Yes. The exact stems depend on what’s fresh, so a finished piece will differ from any picture. Your mood, palette and format are what the florist works to.

Is Petal & Poise a real florist?

No. It’s a fictional business created for a design workshop. The bouquet brief is a demonstration: nothing is sent, saved or ordered, and no payment is taken. The photographs are AI-generated illustrations.
