Hello August!
The shop has been bustling so far this summer with bunches, bouquets and event arrangements heading out every day! We've been so excited with the return of summer Hydrangeas in gorgeous pinks, lilacs and blues and now Sunflower season has arrived! Find them shining bright on our table everyday this month.
Gifting pieces at the moment are focused all around plant care and gardening in addition to some beautiful summertime homewares- wool outdoor blankets, weaved shopping bags and hanging tealight lanterns. In the background, we are preparing Autumn arrivals and stocking fillers for later in the year...
Enjoying August at Emi Floral Designs:
- Stock up on stems of bright sunflowers: beautiful on their own in a vase or choose some pretty pinks to go along with.
- Treat yourself or a friend to a Botanical Candle Company Candle: Late Summer captures the scent of those last weeks of heat and sunshine before autumn closes in.
- Pick up a Garden Trading Foxcroft Market Bag from us and fill with fresh vegetables, flowers or picnic snacks!

Each month we bring together our favourite seasonal blooms in a gorgeous bouquet.
Beautiful vibrant Sunflowers are newly in season and are shining bright in our bouquet for this month. We've chosen a selection of peachy pink tones to compliment, just like a warm summer sunset! Enjoy Eustoma, Snap Dragons, Campanula Bells, Alstroemeria, Roses and Sunflowers throughout the whole of August.
What's in Season?
Each month new flower species bloom and become the highlight of our flower table & our bouquet of the month. Our August flower table showcases Sunflowers, Hydrangeas, Snap Dragons, Astilbe, Astrantia, Eustoma, Campanula Bells, Bouvardia and Roses. As always the foliage buckets are full underneath to accompany all our bouquets and bunches.
Every morning we receive a fresh flower delivery and arrange all of our beautiful blooms in vases on our table ready for you to pick up whichever stems you like! Simply pop in a vase at home to enjoy or we can arrange for you in a bunch or bouquet style.
Or why not let us choose our favourite seasonal flowers for you?
Plant tip of the month
Summer brings glorious hot spells but that does mean keeping a little extra eye on your house plants as the soil will naturally dry out a little quicker.
Here's a few tips for the months ahead to keep your house plants green & happy!
- Up the watering again! Aim to water once a week but check that the soil is completely dry before watering again.
- Add dusting & spritzing to your routine! Large leaf plants especially, take in water through their leaves so spritzing can help to keep them extra hydrated. Make sure to give the leaves a dust prior to (also helps them to absorb more light!)
- Give them a little boost! To help with strengthening new leaves and longer stems, it can be helpful to feed your plants - giving them extra nutrition to grow big and strong! Have a look at our collection of plant supplements below:
What's happening in the garden?
Gardens are now in full bloom as we enter August and submerg into summer! Beautifully scented flowers full of colour are everywhere to be seen and look so beautiful in the summer sun. Theres lots to enjoy but also a few tasks to keep everything looking its best this month:
- Cut back Summer perennials after flowering for a second flush.
- Regularly deadhead, feed and water summer bedding in pots, borders and baskets.
- If you have Sweet Peas in your garden, then be sure to pick blooms every few days to promote additional flowering.
- Cut Lavender with newly opened flowers and hang in a cool dark place to dry. Dried stems looks beautiful in a vase or even in an Autumn wreath.
- Keep bird baths, ponds and water features topped up with water for any wildlife visitors.
