For Valentines Gifts, Think Outside the Bouquet
Think Outside the Bouquet this Valentine’s Day
Here at Koch, we’ve got to know Valentine’s Day like the back of our hand! Then again, we’ve also learned that not all minds and hearts are alike. So this year, it might pay romantic dividends to look a little deeper into what will touch someone’s heart on this special day. With that in mind, 2014 might be the year to think beyond a bouquet of red roses… and find some refreshingly romantic floral presentation ideas that could tip cupid’s scales this Valentine’s Day!
Pretty in Pink: Wedding & Valentine's Gift Ideas
Think Pink for Wedding and Valentine’s Gifts
Pink is officially hot again. From beauty and fashion to wedding decoration and home wares, pink is being embraced yet again for the romantic appeal of soft crimsons and corals – and the impact of their neon and hot pink cousins. Of course, for some of us, it’s a life-long love that never wavers.

2013 Christmas Photo Comp Winners
We loved seeing how you all celebrated and decorated for the festive season – thanks for everyone for sharing their Christmas creativity. Deciding on just one winner for the Judges Prize was difficult, but we finally agreed on White Christmas from Lana, a delicate take on a festive floral arrangement we thought was beautiful. Congratulations to all our social winners too! Angelic gathered the most votes and won first place of a $150 voucher. Second place of $75 goes to Zoey and third place of a $50 voucher goes to Carrie-Ann.
DIY Mini Winter Wonderland
A sophisticated way to receive wedding cards and gifts is to prepare a wedding wishing well, also known as a card box. Each of the five wishing well ideas below is easy to dress up to your theme or leave as is with a simple sign, plus it becomes a pretty pit stop for your guests upon arrival.

Decorating Your Christmas Table
We’re celebrating the launch of our Christmas Catalogue with some early inspiration for decorating come December – it might be too early to defrost the turkey and bring out the Christmas gift wrap, but it’s not too early to have fun thinking about how you might decorate this year. Christmas is the time of year for gift giving and spending time with loved ones, but let’s be honest: the Christmas feast is quite a highlight too! Whether you’re seated at a long table, kicking it buffet style or making the most of the great outdoors, we’ve got some tips, tricks and tools that you’ll need to dress your table (we’ll leave the turkey to you).
First, you’ll need to choose a theme. It can be bold, bright or simple and sophisticated – the choice is yours!
Secondly, it’s time to decide. DIY Christmas decorations or instantly done? We cater to both ends of the scale – order your Christmas decorations online and avoid the same generic Christmas ornaments, or combine pieces to make amazing, eye-catching centrepieces. The key rule of Christmas table decorating is simple: when decorating for Christmas, don’t limit yourself to the tree if you want to create a really immersive yuletide feel!
Vintage Chic:
A vintage Christmas can be luxe and inviting, especially when paired with lots of lush flowers and fragrance candles. Sometimes florals are forgotten at Christmas but this is the theme to really indulge. For something girly and glam, fill an ornamental Christmas sleigh with goodies, and string some Christmas tree lights around key areas of the home. Guests will love the layers of light this creates and the touch of sparkle will brighten everyone’s day!
