We've taken inspiration from English country gardens, vast meadows, hedgerows and even roadside verges to put together a selection of bouquets that not only exude an ethereal floral beauty but that captivate the eye with their verdant foliage, intriguing berries and seed heads that provide structure and form. 

Before you start to arrange your bouquet, there are a few tips that will ensure your gathering will look it's best. Keep in mind that there is no right or wrong way to arrange your blooms and the wired stems will help you to manipulate them into position. It's also worth remembering that the art of arranging flowers, whether fresh or faux can be extremely therapeutic, stimulate your creativity and imagination as well as achieve a sense of accomplishment.

Here are a few go to tips that the team at Abigail Ahern have developed to make each flower arrangement look its best.

• Lay out your stems and ensure all petals and leaves are open and unfolded and looking as they should.
  
• Decide if you want to cut or bend your stems, we normally recommend bending them as you can then re-use them if you want to change up your design.
  
• Choose your vase as you can then work to the dimensions, short, tall, wide or narrow, this will make a difference to your finished arrangement.
  
• Decide where you will place your vase, for instance if you place it on a mantelpiece you may want to ensure that the majority of your flower design is front facing.
  
• If you decide you would like to cut your stems, ensure that you have some wire cutters to hand.
  
• We have also put together a handy guide 'How To Arrange Your Faux Flowers'which contains hints and tips for creating a fabulous everlasting bouquet.
  

The ritual of giving or receiving flowers is one that's been around for centuries. They are a key element of major occasions within our lives, celebrations, weddings, funerals, and often certain types hold significant meaning to us personally or in general.  Gifting an artificial bouquet to a friend (or even ourselves) feels very special and it's a gift that can be everlasting. Prioritising quality and craftsmanship with a desire to rebel against the rising tide of conformity, we are liberating the faux floral world by looking at nature's rare and unusual varieties. Our aim is to bring the eye back to the undergrowth, marsh, forest and wild meadow.  We're sure you'll love our curated selection of flowers and stems.
