Florists get their job by having much more than just an ‘interest’ in flowers. They should have creativity to give customers the quality they want. Exclusive designs may be difficult, but to those who have mastered the art of floristry, then it will merely be a challenge. Each and every customer wants their flowers to be special, and this means that florists must have versatile styles and wonderful arrangements.

Great florists must also possess great color coordination since designs need the right color combinations. They must enjoy and love what they are doing so they do not view it as a job, but as a passion. There are times when the customer is undecided and it is the florist’s job to ‘read’ the customers wants and somehow bring his or her personality into the flower arrangement. The condition of the flowers should also be of the highest quality.

Florists must also be quick to understand different situations. If the customer says the order is urgent, then he or she should provide a dateline that will cater to this urgency. Being a florist takes dedication and responsibility; it is much more than being interested in putting flowers together. The florists will touch a person’s heart and emotions in one way or another, which is why they have to be experts in order to give good results with every order.

There are florists who do their jobs just because they have to and there are those who do it with the utmost passion and diligence. serenata Flowers gives you the best because you deserve nothing less.

Bored of the broads in Norfolk? You could always pop down to the Sandringham flower Show.

It's been going for 125 years, so there must be something interesting to see - and, after all, the late Queen Mum was a devout attendee.

What are you doing during the first week of July? If the idea of strawberries and cream on Henman Hill doesn't appeal, consider some strelitzias and crocuses at Hampton Court instead.

The usual fare at royal palaces may be foie gras and vol au vents de swan, but from 4-9 July, haute cuisine will be replaced by horticultural hors d'oeuvres at the world's largest annual flower show. Uh huh, it's even bigger than Chelsea. A right royal horticultural spectacular

Hop into a lily-clad black cab and head to the garden by the sea to hang out with the red-socked Roddy Llewellyn, TV fella Diarmuid Gavin, and some of the greatest beauties in Britain. No, not 80s chart-topper-turned-garden-guru Kim Wilde or previous Miss World winner Aneta Kreglicka (although these lovelies have showed their faces there in the past) - the beauties we're talking about are the floral guests at this year's water-themed Southport Flower Show.

Watch out strelitzias! Your status as the ultimate in architectural flowers is about to be outdone.

As part of Architecture Week and the London Architecture Biennale 2006, a 12-metre high kinetic structure that mimics the design of a growing flower has been installed at Clerkenwell Green, London.



Using daylight energy bolstered by power from a hydrogen fuel cell and a wind turbine, the 'flower' opens and closes its petals in response to the sun and moon.

The eco-friendly sculpture, dubbed 'Oasis' (possibly something to do with the human-sized pods of fresh air and soothing sounds at its base),  responds not only to light, but to its environment. At night, the energy stored by the flower during the day powers a light show that's triggered by the movement of people around it.

Morning glory? Just visit Oasis

Fashion is not only present in clothes, but it is also very apparent in designer flowers. Yes, flowers too can make a statement. And just like fashion, there are certain staples referred to as classics and certain innovations that bring out the best of such a design.

There are flowers designed by florists to celebrate and commemorate a certain occasion, which an inexperienced florist will surely mess up. However, as the only designer florist in the United Kingdom with the necessary online presence and experience, serenata Flowers has made it its mantra to provide such exquisite flower arrangements. Florists are first and foremost artists. Like artists who study their craft, these designer florists have received training at a professional level from different educational programs, which have taught them to understand the intricacies of working with flowers.

And it is not just a piece of cake I tell you. Because of immersing themselves in such a study of designer flowers, they now possess the essential skills necessary to cater to their customers’ every whim and request. Aside from knowing the types and manners of properly taking care of flowers, these florists are experts in terms of floral designs, styles, and techniques that will utilize both the florists’ skill and the beauty of the flower itself.

This knowledge of various types of flowers and different ways to take care of them, allow these artists to express a certain message through flowers without shortening the lifespan of these blooms. Because when designer flowers are done correctly, they will convey feelings and emotions that words just cannot express. Let the designer florist make your personalized flower speak your mind without ever opening your mouth.

These types of flowers provide such a wide range of choices to ensure that the customers get what they need on the spot. Yes, it is true that designer flowers may be a little expensive, which is because the flowers used in this arrangement are said to be the best variety and are not readily available. But do you not want to make your special someone feel even more special? That is what makes these types of bouquets more exclusive and thoughtful. Not only are they prepared just for the customer, but designers have also spent time on the blooms until they reach the highest peak of their beauty. For someone to go through all this trouble is flattering and shows your true feelings for that special someone. Of course, these designs are not generic or mass produced.

Generally, designer flowers are always fresh, almost purchased directly at the growers. Some more characteristics of this type of bouquet attract a more sophisticated, refined taste, which is why if you want to impress, purchase one for yourself. serenata flowers, with its knowledgeable eager staff,   is there to accommodate you. Name the occasion you are preparing for and they will have the equivalent designer flower for you. Whether it is Mother’s Day, a graduation, or whatever, make your relatives and friends love you even more by purchasing a specially designed flower arrangement just because.
 

If you're just a modern guy (who's had it in the ear before, of course), you might want to waggle your skin-tight-jean-clad self down to the Chelsea Flower Show, which has decided to go all rock'n'roll on us this year.Well, a tiny bit of it has, at any rate.

Amid the usual lilies, roses and gerberas, The Children's Society has designed a garden inspired by Iggy Pop's 'Lust for Life'.

Far from being filled with hypnotised chickens and the wares of Johnny Yen, the garden is said to "represent children's dreams through vibrantly coloured planting and 'thought bubbles' representing the dreams of children and their manifestation into reality. An arc of water, representing the power and triumph of the human spirit, traverses the garden in rhythmic bursts to the beat of Lust for Life."

Sounds like it'll be worth a million in prizes...
