Winters Vintage Glamour

From the website http://www.webchats.tv

Winter is drab, dull and above all very, very long. But don't panic, the latest flower trends to hit the shelves are a sure fire way of brightening any room or occasion. Vintage glamour is the flower look for this winter with the focus firmly on beauty and luxury. The result is an elegant, feminine look reminiscent of the 1920s and 1950s, adorned with beads and pearls, feathers and diamante. These are combined with luxury materials such as satin, leather, metal, lacquer and mother-of-pearl to create the ultimate in Boudoir Chic.
Soft pastel shades are mixed and matched in elegant romantic shapes and tones, with darker contrasts of branches or vases to add depth and drama. You can imagine these flowers in the bedrooms of Hollywood starlets, or gracing the flapper scene nightclubs of Paris. The arrangements in honour of the great beauties of the silver screen often opulent, sometimes decadent, and always glamorous.

And it's not as bleak a time for flowers as you might think! An amazing selection of flowers is available all year round. Early bulb flowers like amaryllis, hyacinth, tulip, narcissus, and hellebore; southern hemisphere exotics such as protea, kangaroo paw and Euphorbia fulgens all coupled with holly berry foliage add much needed colour.
