Floristry always stems from a feeling
Some bouquets feel like coming home. Warm, enveloping, as if they give you pause. This is exactly what the bouquet by Friederike, florist and founder of Milles Fleurs in Hanover, does. Her shop is dedicated to a seasonal style: as the sky changes and the colours get deeper, so do the floral arrangements.
Sometimes you want to say more than 'thank you'. Because someone did something for you that really touched you. Because you appreciate their time, attention or support. This bouquet is then the perfect gesture: a tangible way to show how much it means to you.
Together, the Asclepias and Eryngium provide a strong foundation, like someone you can build on. The Rosa (rose hip) and Gypsophila soften that image. Among all these flowers, Limonium and Euphorbia provide balance. Finally, Allium provides a striking accent: just that bit different, and therefore special.
The chosen flowers each carry a feeling, an atmosphere or a role in the bouquet:
Asclepias and Euphorbia: striking colour, with a warm glow that immediately draws attention and opens up the bouquet.
Eryngium: sturdy and tough, this prickly flower brings roughness and structure among the softer elements.
Rosa: provides calmness, the berries subtly filling the open spaces without being overpowering.
Gypsophila: brings air and lightness, giving other flowers space to stand out.
Nerine: playful petals that stand loosely in the bouquet and add sophistication.
Limonium: ties everything together with its fine texture and soft colour.
Allium: stands out above the bouquet and grabs immediate attention.
This bouquet fits seamlessly into the mood of Milles Fleurs: rich, compact and balanced. It embraces the season when summer turns to indoor warmth. No loose wildness here, but a composition that exudes tranquillity without being boring.
Friederike shows that even smaller bouquets can be expressive. By grouping, varying shapes and playing with repetition, she creates a style that is detailed and gives meaning to each flower. Structure and texture provide the balance that makes this style so recognisable.
At Milles Fleurs, it's not just about what you see, but what you feel. As Friederike herself says: "Flower arranging is always a feeling from within." Be inspired to choose flowers that touch that feeling. That are not just beautiful, but add something to atmosphere, style or story. That match the season and the clients who bring them into their homes.
