Made by us - Delphinium Urn
Posted by Duncan McCabe on 31st Jan 2023
The sheer wealth of possibilities in floral design are endless and inspiring, with experimentation and celebration being at the heart of floristry. Across Moyses Stevens stores and studios, a host of creations are being crafted every day; from the intricate to the contemporary, the sublime to the extraordinary - and there's nothing we love more than a good ode to a classic - monochromatic styling (the impactful technique of using all one colour in one flower variety.)
In this case, fabulous Gemma paid tribute to the statuesque stem with a brilliant vivid-blue delphinium urn - the perfect pop of colour for a special table centre or flanking a beautiful fireplace. The classic bloom's silhouette and variety of colour options makes it a versatile ingredient - from large focal urns, to flower meadow scenes, whilst the tops create a wonderfully wild-garden feel in bridesmaid bouquets.
Us floral obsessives love delving in to find out a little bit more about the story of our favourite flowers - for instance, did you know that delphinium comes from the Greek word 'delphis'? Originally meaning dolphin because it's thought when picking the stem if looks like the beautiful sea creature diving out the ocean. In the language of flowers blue delphs in particular were thought to symbolise grace, youth and remembrance.
Mastering the art of a beautifully balanced urn is one of the many floral techniques you can learn with us at Moyses Stevens Flower School. Join us for a taster workshop or for a full day of floral-filled fun, find out more below!
