There is no one who isn’t moved by a flower delivery. This week, the delivery lady who appeared at my door with a large box from Appleyard London was very excited, exclaiming ‘Oh they smell lovely’. Inside, perfectly wrapped, was the most beautiful flowers called Christmas Ruby Bouquet, immediately brightening up my day and my flat.

Appleyard London are  a luxury flower delivery company and the bouquet I received definitely showcased the luxury – in the choice of blooms, their arrangement and their packaging. The Christmas Ruby Bouquet is from the Christmas flowers range, and is a stunningly scented arrangement of red oriental lilies, grand prix red roses with purple eustoma, black calla lilies and red hypericum berries.  I think you can see from the photos just how gorgeous it is – if only I could share the scent with you too!

The choice of bouquets on the Appleyard site is wonderful, and all very clearly laid out. As well as the Christmas flowers, I particularly like the Heritage and Shabby Chic collections – do check them out.
