Textural Additions:

Add autumn berries, grasses, and foliage like eucalyptus or burgundy oak leaves for a seasonal finish. Warwick markets in October often sell homegrown dahlias and sunflowers freshly cut from local fields.

Winter Flowers in Warwick (December – February)

Winter in Warwick might be cold and grey, but floral arrangements don’t have to be. Winter florals are all about foliage, structure, and thoughtful details like berries and dried elements.

Why Choose Seasonal Flowers?

Using seasonal flowers isn't just an aesthetic choice — it’s a practical and eco-conscious one too:

• Fresher – Flowers that are in season locally last longer and look more vibrant.

• More affordable – Seasonal stems are typically less expensive than imported or out-of-season options.

• Lower carbon footprint – Reduces the need for long-haul imports and refrigeration.

• Better for florists – Allows more flexibility and creativity with nature as the guide.
