The only good thing about Summer ending is Autumn! Autumn is my favourite season for the colours and textures we find in the garden and at my fabulous growers. For me, the deep, rich tints and tones of the season compensate for the shorter days and cooler temperatures. So it is my great pleasure to introduce you to the flowers, the foliages, grasses and berries, and all things wonderfully Autumnal in this blog post, along with my designs for our 2018 Autumn Collection.
Autumn has arrived in Belgravia at the Neill Strain Floral Couture boutique
Inside our newly refurbished Belgravia boutique, the display of seasonal flowers and berries is almost overwhelming!
As is the stunning display at our concession at Harrods.
Every day we have freshly-made, ready-to-go Haute Couture hand-tied bouquets on display. Haute Couture because of the inspiration from the colours and textures of the current trends in fashion infused with the sensations of the season.
Daily we also create our signature Petite Couture designs, a floral arrangement which captures all the beauty of the season.
Autumn is of course renowned as the time of year for Pumpkins and Gourds, especially for Halloween and Thanksgiving. I love to mix sophisticated flowers with these robust American fruits, also known as “Winter Squash.”
Grasses are at their fullest and most textural…
