Rockflower
In celebration, Rockflower have created a beautiful simple bouquet inspired by the glorious British summertime. Think croquet on the lawn with a refreshing gin & tonic and a slice of lime, cool cucumber water after a great game of tennis or cricket in your whites. That’s where they got the green and white inspiration which was interpreted with stunning hydrangeas and foliage. Then, for a touch of soft colour, a tiara of pink roses is added, a classic in a British summer garden. The result is ‘British Summer’, wild and just like an English garden in full bloom.
Available 24/7 from Rockflower at Blackfriars Station.
