Featuring warmer colours will help to make sure your home stays inviting all season long. Let the Protea do the work for you with its soft pinks. striking reds and dark green foliage and notice how your living areas feel instantly more alive. Proteas can be found in our Native Arrangement Bouquet which can have a variety of natives.

Artificial Arrangement

Keep your bouquet looking fresher longer with easy to maintain artificial and dried floral arrangements. The Morning Coffee arrangement brings in tones of gold, cream and brown to create a warm ambience and a subtle glow. Save your arrangement exclusively for the darker months, or keep it out all year long. This arrangement can easily be spruced up with live winter florals whenever you have some on hand. We recommend mixing in some jewel tones or soft pastels.

This bright and beautiful bloom will liven up any space and is just the right touch for those spaces that are feeling drab during winter.
