About this bouquet

A bright florist’s choice bouquet, bursting with the freshest flowers of the day in a joyful mix of vibrant colours.

For birthdays, big thank-yous and just-because surprises: Carnival lets our florists work their magic. Each bouquet is different, with seasonal flowers chosen for colour, texture and freshness; the photograph is an example of the style, rather than a fixed recipe.

Expertly spiral hand-tied in Harrow, with fresh flowers sourced by our experts from Ecuador, Colombia, Holland and the UK.

Will my bouquet look exactly like the photograph?

Carnival is our bright florist’s choice bouquet. We choose the freshest flowers available that day for a joyful mix of vibrant colours. The photograph shows the style and spirit of Carnival; the flower varieties and colour mix will vary.

A little care. More lovely days.

Help your flowers flourish.

  1. Give them a fresh start. Carefully unpack over a sink. Trim 2–3cm from the stems at an angle and remove any leaves that would sit below the water.
  2. A clean vase, fresh water. Add the supplied flower food as directed. Keep the hand-tie in place to hold your bouquet’s shape.
  3. Keep them comfortable. Choose a cool spot away from direct sun, radiators and ripening fruit.
  4. A little attention each day. Top up the water; refresh it and clean the vase every 2–3 days. Remove spent flowers as the bouquet opens.

Lilies may arrive in bud and open gradually. If your bouquet contains lilies, keep them away from cats.

Flower food and care instructions are included with every bouquet.

Chosen through relationships.

Our buying expertise began with early mornings at the flower market. Today, our wider flower selection is sourced through trusted relationships across Ecuador, Colombia, Holland and the UK. The origin of individual stems changes with the season and the day’s best stock.

Prepared with patience.

At our Harrow shop, we check and prepare the stems, give them water and time, then choose the flowers that work beautifully together.

Made for your moment.

One of our florists composes and spiral hand-ties your bouquet. It leaves in our signature packaging, with water in the base, flower food, care instructions and your message in a sealed envelope.
