Nothing comes quite as close to the feelings of receiving a floral bouquet or botanical arrangement. Binded by an elaborate and delicate arrangement of each flora, ever so pleasing to the eye; with the faint fragrance of fresh buds in bloom lingering in your trace. Different meanings are assigned to each flower species, which when bunched together translate into an unspoken love letter for the recipient. It’s a treasure trove of sweet nothings as the meanings are unravelled.
In the blooming florist landscape lies a collective of artisans, each dedicated to the language of flowers and the pure art of botanical arrangements. These aren’t your average bouquets. Each bunch is crafted with intention, of meticulous arrangements with great regard for the innate beauty and nature of flowers. You’ll find bouquets that are artisanal, bold and sincere as the florists’ vision comes to life through its selection of fresh blossoms.
This intricate craft of floral design translates into artistic arrangements that extend beyond the traditional bouquet. The quiet vision of the botanical studios and transformative presence of flowers join hands for weddings, themed floral collections, corporate luncheons and art displays, amongst others. Floral design studio Gathered + Styled uses flowers as a blank canvas in its ‘Glitch Stems’ collection, adding a personalised touch through paint splashes in bold hues and experimentation of gradients and patterns. Meanwhile, This Humid House proves to be a jack of all trades yet master of all, dabbling in the interior design realm to implement indoor plant styling schemes alongside the standard bespoke arrangements for romantic occasions and events.

The Shimpaku Kishu, a grown bonsai tree from its latest collection, is a testament to the artistry and grace of nature—while the adult plant requires minimal pruning, its elegant stature is owed to the meticulous pruning done during its earliest stages. A perfect symbol for the enduring devotion and patience essential for lasting fulfilment, the Japanese-sourced plant is a distinctive and particularly thoughtful Mother’s Day gift that reflects the bond between a mother and her child.
