It’s a time of abundance, where every corner of the natural world seems to be overflowing with life. From the swaying fields of golden wheat to the crimson hues of ripening berries, the landscape is a feast for the senses. Inspiration for our Flower delivery in Seattle area studio is drawn directly from this breathtaking canvas. The rich and varied palette of late summer is a celebration of nature’s generosity, providing us with an array of vibrant colors and textures that we are excited to incorporate into our floral designs.
Australian artist and landscape designer Ralph Bristow perfectly captures our approach to floral artistry. He adheres to a principle articulated by the great Gertrude Jekyll: “To plant a garden is to write a painting with living colors.” This philosophy resonates deeply with us at Modern Nature as we embrace the vivid palette of August. We’re talking bold, beautiful blooms that embody the essence of “summer in the city.” Dahlias, roses, sunflowers, marigolds, gladiolus, scabiosa, delphinium, hydrangea, cosmos, celosia, mint, blackberry, raspberry, amaranth, and countless varieties of grass and corn are the stars of our August collections. Each of these flowers brings its own unique charm and character, contributing to the rich tapestry of our designs.
But our inspiration doesn’t stop with the obvious stars of the floral world. We also find beauty in the unsung heroes of the botanical realm: the delicate wildflowers that carpet our meadows, the vibrant herbs that fill our gardens, and the architectural beauty of towering grasses. These elements add depth and texture to our arrangements, creating a harmonious blend that reflects the natural diversity of summer.
Deep reds, fiery oranges, and sultry burgundies dominate the scene, reminiscent of the sun-kissed warmth that permeates the air. These are the colors of ripeness, of fruits bursting with sweetness and vegetables brimming with nutrients. Just as the earth nourishes its bounty, we at Modern Nature are inspired by nature’s abundance to craft floral arrangements that capture the essence of August. The color palette we use in our designs is carefully curated to evoke the feelings and sensations of this vibrant season.
At Modern Nature, your local Seattle florist, creating the perfect bouquet involves a meticulous process. We start by selecting flowers at their peak, ensuring every bloom is in its prime. This involves not only choosing flowers that are in the best condition but also considering how each flower will interact with others in the arrangement. We carefully consider the interplay of colors and textures, crafting arrangements that are both aesthetically pleasing and emotionally evocative. Our goal is to create bouquets that not only look beautiful but also tell a story and evoke a sense of joy.
Our collaboration with local farms like Free Range Flowers and Ojeda Farms is central to this process, allowing us to source the freshest, most vibrant flowers while supporting sustainable practices. These local farms share our commitment to sustainability and ethical practices, and their dedication to quality ensures that we can provide you with the best possible floral arrangements. Your bouquet will most likely include flowers from Here to There Farm, and Lexi Mara Design. Each of these local partners contributes to the richness of our collections and helps us bring you the freshest flowers in Seattle.
Washington has its own unique charm, and our local blooms are absolutely delightful. We’re dedicated to supporting local growers and bringing you the freshest flowers possible. By focusing on local sources, we ensure that our bouquets not only reflect the beauty of the season but also contribute to the local economy and promote environmentally friendly practices.
We’re taking all those juicy hues and turning them into floral masterpieces. We believe that flowers have the power to evoke emotions and create unforgettable experiences. Each stem is being carefully selected, considering color, texture, and shape to create arrangements that are visually stunning, harmonious, and bring the outdoors indoors. From the moment you receive your bouquet, you’ll be transported to a world of sensory delight. The sight of vibrant colors, the touch of velvety petals, and the intoxicating aroma of fresh flowers will create an unforgettable experience and bring you Seattle’s unique blooms.
To keep your bouquet looking its best and lasting longer, follow these care tips:
Water: Ensure that the stems are submerged in water at all times. Change the water every day to keep it clean and fresh. This simple step helps prevent the growth of bacteria and keeps the flowers hydrated.
Cutting: Trim the stems at an angle about an inch from the bottom every few days. This helps the flowers absorb water more effectively and prevents clogging of the stem ends. Fresh cuts allow for better water uptake and prolong the life of your bouquet.
Placement: Keep your bouquet in a cool spot, away from direct sunlight, drafts, and ripening fruit. Heat and ethylene gas from fruit can cause flowers to wilt faster. A cool, shaded area helps maintain the freshness and longevity of the arrangement.
Remove Foliage: Remove any leaves that will be submerged in the water to prevent bacterial growth, which can shorten the life of your bouquet. Keeping the water clean and free of decaying foliage is crucial for flower health.
Flower Food: Use any flower food provided with your bouquet, as it helps nourish the flowers and prolong their freshness. Flower food contains nutrients that extend the life of the blooms and keep them vibrant.
On our side, we ensure to use the freshest and strongest stems available on the market and deliver all bouquets in a water pack to maintain good condition and freshness. We understand the importance of preserving the beauty of your flowers, and we take extra care to protect them during transportation. Additionally, consider rotating the bouquet every few days to ensure even exposure to light and to prevent one side from drooping.
