Summary:

• The flower distribution chain has to be carefully managed to ensure the correct care of fresh-cut roses. 
• Growers need to take key sanitation and hydration steps before the flowers leave the farm, or they will not survive the trip to the florist.
• Once delivered to the florist, key hydration and nourishment steps are needed to ensure the quality of the flowers.
• When designing bouquets, florists need to be properly conditioning the flowers for further storage and transport.
• Good florists should provide consistent flower care advice and support to customers after they have purchased their product.

Fresh cut roses are one of the world’s most popular flowers and often take the spotlight on Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day. During these special occasions, the demand for fresh cut roses skyrockets and superior care is required to get them from the farm to the customer, while still looking their best.

Being able to personalise, combine several goodies and repurpose the basket is what draws so many of us to love giving and receiving hamper baskets. Depending on the occasion and colour theme, each hamper basket, tray or crate can easily go from being a bridal shower gift to a gourmet Christmas present. In saying that, it could prove to be a challenge to hunt down a suitable basket, assemble your products accompanied with filler and make the hamper basket look generous and audacious. Hence, we’ve compiled various styles of hamper baskets to help you choose the right one for all occasions.

Afternoon Tea Party Styling & Decor 

HOORAY! Magazine recently invited us to a high tea on the lawns of Lindesay House in Sydney. With the film of the day just released, we thought we’d use it as a springboard to consider what it takes to throw a high tea, and style the perfect afternoon tea party decor. Good company, a fun element (in this case a flashback to childhood with an Easter egg hunt) and a delicious high tea are great ingredients to start with! Add in a gorgeous table centerpiece design, beautiful floral displays, and plenty of individual style, and you might just have the perfect high tea event. Be sure to check out the full spread in issue 11 of HOORAY!
