Seasoned Flower Arranging, Cottage-Garden Style

At Evolve Bordentown, we celebrate robust forest-inspired palettes, heirloom textures, and sustainable design. Our homegrown florals and curated arrangements empower experienced gardeners to craft tangible, artful compositions with seasonal flair.

1) Provenance and Form

Choose stems with strong architectural lines. Build a backbone with foliages like ferns, salal, and eucalyptus to anchor bouquets.

2) Color Discipline

Operate in forest-friendly palettes: moss greens, deep olive, bark browns, with occasional warm amber accents.

3) Texture Overload

Layer textures—velvet petals, papery bracts, and airy seedheads—to create depth and movement.

Event Floristry Guide

Design for daylight through contrasting greens, then refresh with evening-scented blooms. Use tall, durable stems for centerpieces.

Seasonal Bouquets

Spring mixes emerge with peonies and stocks; summer leans on dahlias and foxglove; autumn favors asters and carex.

Preservation & Longevity

Hydration strategies, conditioning with cool water, and responsibly chosen preservatives to extend life without compromising aura.

Plan and Prepare

Site assessment, soil health, and foliage selection aligned with forest-inspired color schemes. Map space for focal florals and supportive greens.

Harvest & Textures

Stems at peak, with leaf and seed-head accents. Balance bold blooms with delicate textures for movement.

Assemble with Containment

Create cohesive forms using backbone stems, then layer layers of greenery for depth and resilience.
