One of our summer favorites is this kangaroo paw! It comes in a variety of colors like red, orange, yellow, and even a very dark purple. We love to use it in our seasonal vase arrangements and hand-tied bouquets. It adds an interesting textural element, and this green color is a perfect summery shade.
We had a client come in today, looking for a "show-stopping" flower arrangement, with vibrant purples and pinks for a friend who had just had surgery. Our designer came up with the following arrangement, with allium, hanging amaranthus, hydrangea, celosia, vanda orchids, hot pink roses, and umbrella fern. Hopefully this arrangement will help the recipient to get well soon!
Recently, we got a request from a client for a flower comb. These are small hairpieces best worn in pulled-back hairstyles, so the comb can be tucked into place. Perfect as an accent piece, or main focal point in any outfit! Below you'll find step-by-step instructions on how we created it.
Step 1: Gather components for your comb. Ideally, one focal flower (in this case, the calla lily), a greenery (eucalyptus), and complimenting accents (liatris and hypericum)
Step 2: Using florist wire and floral tape, create a "stem" for each component, breaking them down into smaller pieces.
Step 3: Starting with the focal flower, layer the components ontop of one another, using the greenery to create volume. Wrap each "stem" between the teeth of the comb.
Step 4: Once complete, wrap fresh layer of floral tape to finish it off with a clean look. Use a piece of greenery as the last component to hide the tape.
Step 5: Enjoy your completed comb! Best worn with a pulled back hair style so the comb can be slid in, and can also be more secured with bobby pins!
One of our designers was feeling inspired by the Tuscan countryside, and made up this arrangement for one of our clients. The use of mokara orchids, rosemary, kiwi branches, and hypericum berries creates a very sunny feel. The use of herbs in arrangements over the summer is one of our favorite parts of the season!
Our Garden Design team has been hard at work this summer filling windows, designing decks and patios, and planting gardens. Here are some of our favorites from the last month.
Do you have an awesome Rouvalis shop shot? Share it on Instagram, tag us (@rouvalisflowers), and use #rouvalisshopshot! We will pick our favorite and share with our followers on Friday, July 21.
Our specials this week are filled with funky and vibrant summer florals. As always, they are available as both a hand-tied bouquet and a vase arrangement.
They have blue agapanthus, soft pink astilbe, magenta calla lilies, and of course our favorite chartreuse mini-green hydrangea.
Our designers absolutely love hydrangea, especially for the summertime! They are grown in beautiful, vibrant tones. Their lush blossoms instantly create a lush arrangement, so we've been including them in many of our deliveries and pickups. They are especially meaningful to us here in Boston, since they are so popular on our favorite vacation spots like Cape Cod or Nantucket!
Be sure to come in the shop and take a look at all the varieties, available by the stem or in your own custom arrangement!
Recently, our designers had the opportunity to visit the Dallas Market Center and check out many different potential vendors. We pride ourselves on having unique and high-quality products in the shop, so we were excited to have the chance to find some more options for you all!
Luckily, they came back with some great new options, shown below! The vessels pictured come in all different sizes, and there are many more in the shop not shown! Be sure to come in and check out all of our options.
If you grew up in New England, or have ever visited the more woodsy areas, you know that Lady Slipper Orchids are a very special plant that grow wild. They are beautiful plants; one of our favorites here at the shop!
Unlike most orchids, Lady Slippers prefer to their soil to be moist, so they need water about once every seven to ten days. Be sure to keep out of direct sunlight, and place away from any windows.
We have a few varieties in the shop, available for pickup or delivery. Be sure to stop by and check them out!
