and that blue and green should never be seen.


although today i have delphs next to green anastasia

Puss you make me

Nowt wrong with clashing colours in a design, in fact that is something we do alot of, particularly with gerbs I prefer blocks of colour on the stand, looks classy and makes it easier for me and the punters to see whats what. And Tulips your alright love I like purple and orange together

Actually, having said that, I had a wedding last year that was all cerise pink & bright yellow gerbs and I liked it because they were really strong colours.

I love cerise and bright orange.

Must be colour blocked for me !! Im definately obsessive about his !! I have photo in the gallery of my pink section last week, and i group pinks, purples blues cerise together and go round into white and lime greens. In another seperate section i have yellow, oranges reds etc. The summer flower, pinks etc look fab at the moment !!

i do both, start the week with colour blocking, then tend to move them into colour combinations, maybe pastels & brights, contrast etc, I have palest pinks, creams & blues then zingy tropical/fiesta colours right now. its usually whatever i need to sell first!

my 'stand' itself is made up of individual square pillars based on 40cm square, the smallest are 40cm square then 40 by 80, 40 by 120 40 by 160. i can change them around to my hearts content, stand them up, lay them down, stack em, they're all painted to match my shop too, a kind of soft olive. when i suss out how to resize my photos i'll post in the gallery!

I love blue and green together, as my nan always said, 'green goes with everything' hehe. I did a pink and yellow wedding a few years back, it was ming. Definately an IF moment.

blue and green is one of my favo combos

We have stepped stands (which personally I wish we had never bought) and have the fillers at the back - lilies must be in the middle - well the shop is named Lily's - but as to the rest of the flowers we tend to put them where they look the best - if that means blue next to green or pink next to yellow - so be it.

At the moment we are going for the "country" look so have a lot of "country" flowers - forget me nots, stocks, muscari etc. they look fab together.

we usually group by colour, if not then by type.

regarding the pink and yellow debate, we personally don't use that combo but our new employee has started to introduce it into the stuff that she does, i guess some people like and some people don't......

We goup our colours lilies always at the back on the highest shelf which noi can't quite reach yes I am a short azse
