My little peony and friends

Petal-packed double flowers, peonies carry an unmistakable calling card - a gorgeous fragrance that is simply the sweetest of the summer season. And the arrival of four new peony bouquets heralds the start of the summer flowers season here at Serenata.

Peonies have a very short flowering season and are generally only available between late May and early July. The flowers come in a range of colours from pure white, soft rose and pale peach to deep pink and dark maroon. peonies are thirsty and require you to regularly top up the vase with water.

Cultivated for over 2,000 years in China, where their name sho yu translates as shymost beautifulshy, peonies are a popular motif in Eastern fabric design and wood carvings. In Japan, the first peony blooms are so revered that individual shelters are sometimes constructed around each flower to protect it from the snow. The Greeks, however, saw them as more protecting than in need of protection, believing the plants could cure an array of ailments; no self-respecting  monastery garden was without a peony bush.

Fresh Flowers

Admittedly, you can order fresh flowers from many online vendors aside from serenata flowers. However, when you order fresh flowers from serenata, you will get the following benefits that other online vendors cannot match, much less surpass.

As Fresh as Can Be
Serenata’s flowers are shipped directly from the Dutch auctions in the Netherlands to the company’s Heathrow Design Studio HQ. As such, you get only the freshest flowers from around the globe since there are no other stops along the way.

It is almost as if the flowers are picked off their stems and placed right into the hands of your special recipients! The special packaging ensures that freshness is maintained when your recipient receives her flowers.

As Cheap as Possible
Of course, even when the prices of Serenata’s fresh flowers are cheaper than their competitors, often by a substantial margin, the quality will never be compromised. Again, the secret lies in the direct-to-company process.

Since there are no middlemen involved, flower prices reflect only the reasonable profit of serenata. No middleman fees, no florist cuts, no dealer commissions are added. You just get fresh flowers at the most unbeatable prices in the United Kingdom!

Top Quality Handling and Packaging
With Serenata Flowers, your chosen fresh flowers are handled and packaged with the utmost care possible, even by post. After all, what good are flowers when they arrive wilted, wan, and wrinkly? No good at all!

Your flowers continue to receive nutrients and moisture even while in transit, thanks to the drip-free cellophane bubble of florists’ gel into which each stem is placed. The whole bouquet is then placed in a card box with appropriate filler materials and card support. Your gift recipient then receives fresh flowers that look, smell, and feel newly-picked, even after a day’s journey.

If your recipient lives overseas, and you still want Serenata’s fresh flowers as gifts, there are local florist partners that will do the job for you. Of course, the assurance of quality stays because it is the way business is done at serenata!

Personalized Flowers and Messages
Where other online florists only offer standardized flower arrangements and cards, Serenata fresh flowers can be personalized any way you want. Well at least within reasonable terms.

For example, you can add a personal flower favorite in a bouquet filled with your recipient’s favorite fresh flowers so you can inject a sense of unique personality into an otherwise standard arrangement. Even your message can be personalized on high-quality paper to reflect how you truly, deeply, and madly feel about your special someone!

Also, you can choose from among a wide variety of vases! Why go for the usual flowers-in-a-ribbon arrangement when you can accent it with just the right vase? You will also be prolonging the life of the fresh flowers.

Truly, when it comes to fresh flowers, nothing explains your feelings like fresh flowers from Serenata. They are as fresh as can be and as inexpensive as possible, handled and packaged elegantly and securely, as well as with personalized options.

Just log on to the Serenata Flowers’ website and impress a friend. You will make someone happy with fresh flowers, and you will be happy as well!

Certified 100% organic, the eco-friendly bouquets contain superlative-quality flowers lovingly wrapped in environmentally benign Kraft paper. So they not only look good, they should make you feel good, too.

Send a single rose spectacular

Our four new floral arrangements designed to accentuate the beautiful simplicity of a single rose stem will leave lovers across the land spoilt for choice. Whatshyll it be tonight - red, pink, yellow or white? Well, that depends on the colour of your love:

If youshyre tickled by the giddiness of new emotions or seeking perfect happiness, the candy-coloured Aqua rose is the sweetest choice.

A Pink Rose in a VaseA White Rose in a Vase

If youshyre not getting noticed by the frosty flirt whoshys on-off cold-hearted coquetry sends delightful shivers down your spine, you could try and catch their eye with an elegant white Avalanche rose that says shyI am worthy of youshy. Just be wary if they send it back once it has withered - that will mean you only made a transient impression.

If youshyre feeling fiery and fervent and thereshys no pussyfooting about the fact that someone makes you purr, a bold red Grand Prix rose tells someone theyshyre the catshys whiskers in those three little words everyone wants to hear: I love you.

A Yellow Rose in a VaseA Red Rose in a Vase

If the green-eyed monster has clogged your heart, send the yellow Ilios rose that speaks of jealousy and infidelity. Paradoxically, the yellow rose also glows with the warmth of friendship and embodies the message shyyou are beautifulshy - so be sure to state your true intentions on the card.

After all, the meaning of flowers is very open to debate, and itshys the meaning you intend to convey thatshys most important of all.

Designer Flowers

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.
