03 The Urban Flower Company // Matt Richardson // Crouch End, London, UK urbanflowercompany.co.uk The Flowers: Dolchetto roses, amnesia roses, clematis, English lilac, Dr fleming Peony, alcamilla, gelder rose, mixed herbs of rosemary, thyme and oregano. The Inspiration: I prefer to use a combination of interesting foliage to dress arrangements. This usually involves layering textures, vibrant colours and scents. The scent from the herbs and lilac is absolutely divine. Creating a bouquet is not based on any set pattern or method - it’s instinctive. To me it looks like a piece of art.

04 Pink Twig Floral Boutique // Amy Saleh// Toronto, Canada// Pinktwig.ca The Flowers: Soft pink tulips, soft pink hyacinth, local (Ontario) pink hydrangea The Inspiration: This is an arrangement that can serve as a single arrangement or broken into clusters in smaller vases depending on what suits the environment. We try to use local flowers where possible and keep things colourful. Open For Business: 2006

05 Argevil // Loïc Hamon // Compiègne, France // argevil.fr The Flowers: Sweet pea, alchemilla, blackcurrant leaves, blackberries The Inspiration: Sweet peas are my very favorite summer flowers. My grandparents in Brittany had them in their garden when I was young. Their elegant shape reminds me of butterflies. I added blackcurrant leaves and blackberries for the delicacy of summer and the alchemilla for some extra freshness. Open For Business: 2005 (JdG)
