At Hills The Flower Market, Florist North Shore, we know whether you are planning a function or simply a dinner party, there is nothing that creates an air of elegance like the perfect floral table arrangement.
Co-ordinating themes, colours and flowers is a great way to be creative and put you in the mood for entertaining. Here are some easy tips to follow when choosing arrangements from a florist that will have your table looking beautiful and impress your guests Belrose to Mona Vale from St Ives to Dee Why and beyond.
Consider the theme of the occasion
Are you celebrating a special occasion or simply entertaining visitors? If it is a special event, co-ordinating your floral arrangement with the theme will be important. Australia Day might conjure images of red, white and blue and January is the perfect time for a variety of annuals in all these shades. Think of red and white roses as well as blue hydrangea or hyacinth. Holiday themes like Christmas in July can be enhanced with red and green foliage and flowers like roses and holly.
Combine them with a few pinecones and some red candles. Of course, Valentine’s Day calls for roses and plenty of them. There is nothing more dramatic than a display of red roses from your florist whether sitting tall in a vase or displayed as a long and low table arrangement.
For dinner parties
If you are entertaining guests for dinner, co-ordinating your floral table arrangement with your crockery and linen will add some style to the occasion. By keeping your crockery in neutral tones such as white, cream or black, you can add a splash of colour with flowers. Create a dramatic theme with black crockery and red flowers such as carnations or roses; go for bright colours like pink gerberas to create something casual with white crockery; or choose white and cream lilies to compliment your cream crockery for an elegant candlelit dinner.
Whether you design it yourself or ask a florist to create your table centrepiece, you’ll have fun choosing colours and co-ordinating décor to present the perfect occasion.

Hills The Flower Market, Florist North Shore share our tips to ensure that your roses last longer.
If you were lucky enough to receive roses from your Valentine or at any other time of year, you’ll want them to keep looking fresh and beautiful for as long as possible. Here are some tips from florists about how to make roses last longer in vases:
Prepare the vase It’s possible that your roses arrived in their own vase but if not, it is important to find one tall enough and spacious enough that the roses are not crowded. Fill it to about halfway with water and sprinkle with the sachet of floral preservative provided by the florist if you received one. If not, you can make your own recipe: mix one teaspoon of sugar with one teaspoon of liquid bleach, two teaspoons of lemon juice and two litres of lukewarm water.
Prepare the roses Trim the roses of any excessive leaves; that is, leaves that may be submerged. Cut the stems of the roses on a 45-degree angle – this allows for more water absorption.
Find the perfect place Place the vase and flowers away from direct sunlight. Find the perfect place in your home where you can display the flowers and protect them from the heat of the sun. Think also about any drafts from air conditioners, as both heat and moving air can take moisture from the flowers.
Daily attention to water Top up the water in the vase daily and on every third or fourth day, change the water completely.
By following these simple steps, you can expect your roses to last for more than a week.

At Hills The Flower Market, florist based in the north shore, we know that with Valentine’s Day right around the corner, you’re probably already thinking about chocolates, flowers and florists.
But have you ever considered the origin of this celebration of love? Although it is commonly believed that Valentine’s Day is named after a Catholic saint, exactly which saint inspired the day is unclear. It appears that there were numerous Saint Valentines.
The most well known are Valentine of Rome and Valentine of Terni. Martyred around AD269, Valentine of Rome was a priest buried on the Via Flaminia. His relics are believed to be found at the Church of Saint Praxed in Rome, as well as at Whitefriar Street Carmelite Church in Dublin, Ireland.
Around AD197, Valentine of Terni became bishop and is said to have been martyred during the persecution under Emperor Aurelian. It is believed he is buried at the Basilica of Saint Valentine in Terni.
There is also a third saint named Valentine connected with the date of February 14 who was martyred in Africa with a number of companions, but very little is known about him.
For many years, February 14 was celebrated in the Catholic calendar as a feast day, however this was officially removed in 1969. Lore and legend have embellished the character of St Valentine, suggesting that due to his bravery in standing up to Roman Emperor Claudius II – who wanted to impose a law that required all young men to remain single – Februrary 14 should be a day to celebrate love. This legend stems from the idea that Claudius wanted to build an army and believed that married men were inadequate for the task. In his rebellion, it is claimed St Valentine continued to perform marriage ceremonies.
Show your Valentine how much you care this year with a beautiful floral display from your local florist.
