In this blog we’ll discuss what the month of march’s flower is and what that means.
One of the hallmarks of this delightful season is the daffodil, a cheerful flower that symbolises hope and renewal. With its bright yellow petals and delicate shape, the daffodil brings a touch of sunshine to our lives and serves as a reminder that better days are on the horizon.
Month’s flower is the daffodil. A beautiful flower that symbolises both hope and renewal. It’s signature yellow petals and iconic shape brings a touch of sunshine to your day.
More than just a common sight in spring, the daffodil has had a long and beautiful history. In ancient Greek mythology, the daffodil is mentioned in the story of Narcissus, a man who fell in love with his own reflection (yes, that is where we get today’s meaning of the word from) and was converted into a flower.
However, over time it’s meaning has changed as it now represents the resilience and courage.
March is often the time of year where the winter weather turns into a milder temperature, indicating that spring is on its way. As a flower that represents it’s the perfect choice to brighten our homes. The iconic yellow flower is a great way to bring the beauty of outdoors indoors.
Whether you’re looking to mix them with other spring staples (tulips or hyacinths to name a few) are the perfect way to create a vibrant display. Alternatively, you can let them stand alone as a simple yet effective arrangement that showcases their beauty.
These stunning flowers, like all flowers, don’t often last long. However, preserving them can change this. At magic flower, we can preserve flowers to ensure they last for up to a year, allowing you to enjoy your charm long after.

It usually involves replacing the natural sap with a solution which ensures it lasts for an extended period of time (normally up to one year). This process helps them survive without the need for water or sunlight and allows buyers to preserve their beauty however, it can affect their fragrance.
The scent of preserved roses might vary depending on the preservation method employed and the roses' initial quality. Some preserved roses may retain a delicate perfume similar to fresh roses, while others may have a more neutral fragrance. This variety offers for a wide selection of solutions that cater to varied tastes and circumstances.

Here are some recommendations to maintain your flowers’ vibrancy all year round.
Although your preserved flowers are designed to last, direct sunlight can contribute to the colours fading over time. To maintain their colourful hues, display them in an area away from prolonged sunlight.
Unlike their fresh alternative, preserved blooms don’t require water. This can, instead, shorten their lifespan, so it’s important to keep them in a dry environment to help retain their beauty. Anywhere near condensation or very humid areas can also affect the life of these flowers.
While preserved flowers are more durable, they should still be handled gently to ensure they aren’t damaged. If they become dusty, you can clean them by lightly dusting or blowing on them. You shouldn’t use any water or products unless your preserved flowers are made from silk.
If you want to adjust the stems on your preserved florals, make sure you cut them instead of snapping them shorter, as this action can severely damage the flower.
Just like fresh flowers, extreme temperatures can affect the lifespan of your preserved flowers. Try to keep them away from heating vents, fireplaces, or air conditioning to prevent any unnecessary stress to the petals. This extends to cold temperatures as well, so make sure to keep your blooms inside.
Over time, your flowers may become dusty, so make sure to regularly give them a gentle once over. You may also want to inspect the arrangement and remove any faded petals or leaves to keep the flowers looking fresh.
With a little extra care and consideration of these tips, your preserved flowers will continue to add their everlasting beauty to wherever you choose to display them!

Using different levels with floral arrangements and candle holders can add dimension to your table. For example, taller candle sticks and low floral arrangements create visual interest and depth.
Additionally, placing scented candles on your table will emphasise your arrangement and create a cosy ambiance. Weaving twinkling fairy lights around your centrepiece or through garlands adds a magical touch to any centrepiece.
Experiment with different textures by incorporating materials. For example, velvet table runners, satin ribbons, and lace under your floral arrangements as suggestions. It adds a richness and depth to the overall look.
Don’t be afraid to mix different plates, glasses, and cutlery styles. By combining pieces with vintage finds, or a pop of colour with mismatched dinnerware, you can create a modern vibe.
Create personalised ornaments or name tags for your guests. Small hand-painted baubles or customised place cards make the perfect table decoration.
Use Christmas-themed tablecloths, runners, or napkins to decorate. Patterns such as plaid, holly, or reindeer motifs are to embrace the festive spirit.

To create a bespoke flower arrangement, you need to make sure that you are choosing your overall theme. This should include the different types of flowers. By selecting your theme, you’ll know which flowers you require and start to get an idea of the colours that work well together. For instance, you could opt for a monochromatic theme. This is a great way to demonstrate how different hues work well together to create a striking visual.
Next, you should consider the colours that you are going to be using. When selecting different colours for your arrangement, there’s no truly wrong path. You can pair any type of colour and shade together. It all depends on the type of effect that you are trying to achieve and the impact that you are looking for.
You also need to make sure that you have a variety in terms of the sizes of the flowers included in your arrangement. If all your flowers are the same size, then it’s going to make your arrangement feel a little dull and plain. This is the last thing that you want when exploring preserved bespoke flower arrangements. If you explore pre-made arrangements, you’ll see that they will always have different sizes. This helps ensure that your arrangement looks more interesting and appealing overall. It will have a unique visual and help guarantee that the flowers stand out.
Finally, you should think about how fresh your flower choices are and how long they last. With the right flower care, flowers can always last longer. However, if you want to ensure that parts of your arrangement don’t fade more quickly than others, then it’s worth exploring using preserved flowers.
The big benefit of preserved flower arrangements is that all the flowers you choose will continue to look fresh for as long as you require them.
We hope this helps you understand some of the things that you should include in your flower arrangement. Ultimately, you need to ensure that you have a variety of colours and sizes. Make sure that you place the larger flowers first before using the smaller flowers to provide additional decoration and pops of colour around the edges.

Roses in this colour have an uncanny ability to brighten up the dingiest spaces and bring your exteriors and interiors to life. You can combine them with other flowers, such as lilies, daisies, and sunflowers for added texture and effect.
You might also want to experiment with the somewhat rarer orange roses, conveying the excitement, enthusiasm and energy which often accompany the summer. They add colour and vitality to your surroundings and look fantastic in the evening, complementing the setting sun. You can pair them with numerous species in your garden or home vases, including dahlias, gerberas, and marigolds.
Long-lasting versions of all these roses are even better. They look just like the real thing but won’t wilt in the heat and don’t require watering. Keep them year-round!

They’re alluring, smell lovely, and look absolutely stunning. And the best part? They last for well over a year! Seeing your beautiful wedding flowers wilt after just a few days can be a bad feeling, so why not get a bouquet that will last much longer?
You can expect many weddings in 2023 to take full advantage of preserved flowers. Whether it’s as part of a centrepiece on the wedding day or in bouquets, preserved flowers can add a long-lasting and beautiful touch to any wedding day. Since they last much longer than regular flowers, they can be planned months in advance, and you can continue playing with different ideas to your heart's content.
Another benefit of using preserved flower arrangements is that they’re more sustainable. It reduces waste because they last much longer, yet you won’t be sacrificing their beauty either.
Putting together your own arrangements can be tricky, especially if you’d like to use vibrant colours. Bold hues can evoke lots of different emotions, which is why they’re so popular in a wedding setting. So why not make the most of this by getting bespoke preserved flowers for wedding venues and choosing some vibrant colours that are special to you?
White flowers are popular because they tend to evoke a sense of innocence and purity. That’s why many wedding dresses are white, and also why it’s a tradition to release doves! On the other hand, red wedding flowers are all about passion, sensuality and romance. If you’d like a feminine touch to your wedding, then pink wedding flowers can be a great alternative.
The best way to get the emotions and colours that you want is to work with a service that can provide bespoke preserved flowers. They’ll help you decide on the best flowers and colours to choose based on your preferences, and they’ll make the whole process a lot easier and faster.
If you’re looking to create your dream wedding bouquet, then we’d love to give you a helping hand. Get in touch with us today and we’ll help you create a beautiful bespoke wedding flower arrangement that will last over a year.

Even so, they still need some care to maintain their appearance and quality to get the best results. But what does that mean, exactly? Well, you’re about to find out. This post discusses how to make preserved flowers last longer with proper care. Read on to learn more.
Unlike regular flowers, preserved flowers hate direct sunlight. Ultraviolet radiation can cause their colours to fade over time, making them look dull and lifeless – not what you want.
Fortunately, you can avoid this by placing them in a cool, dry place away from windows. Bring them more into your home’s interior, away from sources of light. (Be wary of skylights!)
Rule number two: avoid touching them. Preserved flowers are very delicate and can be easily damaged by handling. Desiccation reduces their flexibility, making them more prone to snapping. Touching them with your fingers can also transfer oil and dirt, affecting their quality.
If you need to move the arrangement, hold it by the base or the container. Never touch the flowers themselves if you can help it.
The next tip to bear in mind is to keep preserved flowers dry. If you don’t, it can lead to mould and mildew growth.
Don’t spritz or spray them. If you accidentally get water on them, blot them with a paper towel and let them air dry.
Another pro tip is to gently dust preserved flowers with a soft-bristled brush or a hairdryer on a cold setting. That’s because dust can accumulate on the surface of the flowers, making them look dirty and dull.
Don’t use a cloth or feather duster on preserved flowers. It’s too heavy and can snag on the petals, damaging or ripping them from your display!
Water can cause the flowers to lose their colour, shape and texture. It can also make them mouldy, as discussed above, or attract insects.
Lastly, move preserved flower arrangements with care to avoid damaging the individual petals or the arrangement as a whole. Preserved flowers are delicate and can break easily if handled roughly.
Again, when moving preserved flower arrangements, hold them by the base. Don’t touch the flowers directly. Also, keep them out of humid environments that could adversely affect their longevity.

]]>As a result, learning how to preserve the queen's favourite flower could be a great way to commemorate the coronation 2023!
When trying to learn more about the royal family’s favourite flowers, experts often focus on those they chose to display in their wedding bouquets. In her 2005 wedding to King Charles, Camilla chose to feature a mixture of lilies, camellias, hydrangea, roses, and lily of the valley.
Incidentally, the Lily of the Valley was also Queen Elizabeth’s favourite flower, and the bell-shaped white flowers are said to represent love, sincerity, and happiness.
Learning how to preserve a lily of the valley rose is a great way to commemorate a special occasion or create an interesting peice of decor for your home. Furthermore, this means that you can enjoy flowers all year round, as opposed to strictly when they are within season.
Fortunately, discovering how to preserve the queen’s favourite flower is not necessarily a difficult task. To achieve this, you should:
You can then press these flowers, or display dried flowers in a vase. Alternatively, you can buy preserved flower arrangements online, meaning that your bouquets are sure to stand the test of time.
Queen Camila features a range of white roses in her wedding display, which were said to have been grown by Prince Charles himself. The method for preserving roses is the same method you would use to preserve Lily of the Valley, and other flowers, though you could also dip the flowers in a type of silica gel.
However, once again, the best way to enjoy roses all year round is to buy preserved roses. At the Magic Flower Company, all of our roses are treated with a specialist preservative, which helps them to retain their natural beauty for many months or even years, if cared for correctly.
If you’d like to create your own bespoke flower arrangements, that feature all of the Queen’s favourite flowers and plants, please do not hesitate to get in touch today.
A member of the team at the Magic Flower Company would be more than happy to help you bring your vision to life, so that you can welcome a range of sweet-scented, stunning flowers into your home.]]>One of the best reasons to give preserved flowers as a gift this season is that they are suitable for any occasion. Your mother will love preserved flowers instead of the typical bouquets that only last a few days. Preserved flowers can last for years if they are cared for the right way. Preserved flowers can also be given as a gift for birthdays, anniversaries and graduations in spring and any other time through the year. Alternatively, they can simply be given as a gift to someone randomly in spring to celebrate the season or show them how much they mean to you.
Preserved flowers are a more versatile choice for a wide range of individuals. They are perfect for people with allergies or those who are sensitive to freshly cut flowers. This includes people who suffer from hay fever. With preserved flowers, individuals with these types of sensitives can still enjoy the wonders of beautiful flowers to celebrate spring without any issues.
Finally, preserved flowers are also a green-friendly choice. While beautiful, fresh flowers are wasteful because they are harvested, only to die a few days or weeks later. As such, they constantly need to be replaced. While this makes the industry profitable, it also causes a devastating impact. As such, it arguably contrasts with the message of renewal. On the other hand, preserving flowers as a symbol of renewal makes complete sense. The reason for this is that preserved flowers last far longer and therefore a more sustainable, greener choice. They provide beauty and a splendid gift for your loved one for years if not decades. Don’t forget that preserved flower arrangements have many uses.
For instance, you can get these flowers for any celebrations including decorating wedding ceremonies.
If you’re wondering which flowers are perfect for the spring season, we have a few choices that you can consider in our spring Magic Flower guide.
For instance, daffodils are one of the preserved flower choices that symbolise new beginnings. The reason for this is that they are often given as a gift at the start of a fresh year. They are also provided as gifts during the Chinese New Year.
We hope this helps you understand why preserved flowers can be the perfect gift and symbol for renewal this spring. Do you want a bespoke preserved flower arrangement? Don’t hesitate to get in touch.
We have a wide collection of wonderful bespoke flower arrangements for you to choose from that will be perfect for any loved one.

If you’re considering getting some for spring, this could be a fantastic choice. Remember though, you do need to be careful if you are keeping preserved flowers in humid climates.
First of all, a humidity level of 70% is recommended when caring for preserved flowers. If humidity levels rise through the year, then you may notice the stems of the flowers starting to leak dye. Make sure that you clean them carefully before moving them to a warm, dry area of your home.
If you can, you should avoid keeping preserved flowers in a humid environment. High levels of humidity will cause your flowers to deteriorate faster and reduce their overall lifespan. This also means that you should never wet bespoke preserved flowers that you purchase. If you need to clean them, make sure that you use a dry tissue and gently dab the flower.
If you are unable to avoid keeping preserved flowers in humid climates, then it’s important to keep them safe and dry. One of the best ways to do this is by storing your preserved flowers in a glass case or a bell jar. This ensures that your flowers won’t be impacted by the high levels of humidity in the atmosphere. At the same time, it will still allow you to display the flowers and ensure that they provide a charming addition to your interior design. This is something that you should keep in mind if you are looking at preserved flower arrangements.
In terms of preserved flower care, there’s not too much to think about. These flowers will stand the test of time and look beautiful for years. However, you should aim to avoid putting them in direct sunlight. As such, it’s best to avoid displaying them on a windowsill, particularly during the spring and summer months. Similar to high levels of humidity, exposure to too much sunlight can impact the overall lifespan of your flowers.
We hope this helps you understand how to care for preserved flowers in humid climates. Remember, preserved flowers can be used for everything including decorations for a spring wedding. Take a look at our wide range of preserved flowers to enjoy this spring.

They are not only looking for high-quality products, but environmentally and planet friendly ones too.
How sustainable are preserved flowers? Are they the most sustainable choice for house décor, gifts and event decorations?
A carbon footprint is used to measure the amount of greenhouse gases emitted by a product. The lower the carbon footprint, the lower the impact on the environment. Due to the long-lasting life of preserved flowers, this immediately reduces the amount of production and transportation required; these processes commonly emit greenhouse gases.
Following on from the point above, due to the lower demand for transportation from preserved flowers, they also use less energy. Compared to fresh flowers, they need a lot less space and they also do not require refrigeration. This means that less units are needed for haulage and less energy is used to run the necessary equipment.
Due to less need for production with preserved flowers, less fertiliser and pesticides are used which contain chemicals that transfer to the soil. Although they are still needed when the flowers are being grown, there is greater reduction in the amount of water, fertilizers, pesticides and energy during this process.
As well as their transfer, preserved flowers also require less energy during their maintenance and upkeep too. Although they are natural flowers, the preservation process means that they do not require any light or water. To be able to save on water and electricity for light sources, this contributes to their lower energy consumption and carbon footprint.
Another maintenance factor of preserved flowers important to their sustainability is that they produce less waste. Fresh flowers have to be replaced nearly every week meaning both the flowers and the packaging they are bought in will have to be thrown away. Our preserved Magic Flowers last up to a year, so they do not need to be replaced on a weekly basis.
Compared to fresh flowers, preserved flowers are clearly the most sustainable choice. Whether it’s for domestic decoration, special events or as a present, their long-lasting life span adds great value to the planet as they can be reused and displayed for up to a year.
Less resources are used, and less energy is consumed making them the 100% ecological choice. Have a browse of our shop today which contains many preserved flower options!

]]>If you’re wondering “what flower symbolises new beginnings?”, the good news is that there are several choices available. Some get their meaning from mythology and ancient history while others are linked to more modern traditions. Here are six of the best plants that symbolise new beginnings and why.
Daffodils have connotations with springtime which instantly links them to the concept of new beginnings. However, the symbolism is also linked to the Greek deity Narcissus. Due to this, however, a single bunch of daffodils may be viewed as bad luck - either have several bunches around the home or give the gift more than once.
They are often given at the start of the year while the tradition is also shared by celebrants of the Chinese New Year.
The calla lily, which takes its name from the Greek word for beauty, is one of many flowers that represent new beginnings. Preserved flower arrangements featuring the bright flower and its distinguished silky petals are very popular for celebrating the birth of a child. They also regularly appear at weddings to signify the new beginning.
A variety of white flowers can be gifted to symbolise new beginnings, including white carnations. However, white tulips can be the ideal choice when hoping to start a new chapter in your relationship. It is the ideal way to make an apology to your lover in a bid for forgiveness in a romantic way.
White is a colour that stands for purity and calmness. Therefore, it is widely considered one of the best flowers that represent new beginnings.
When asking “what flower symbolises new beginnings?”, it’s equally important to confirm that it matches the intended purpose. Roses are a great anniversary gift that are the perfect way to celebrate the start of the next year in your love story. The romantic gesture can carry even greater emotional response when you consider the number of flowers given.
Daisies are pure and innocent making them the perfect choice for celebrating fresh beginnings while they simultaneously transport most people back to childhood. The classic flower also works exceptionally well when paired with a range of other flowers. This makes them great for preserved flower arrangements.
Sunflowers are another popular choice connected with new life and can be used to signify a new beginning.
The Lotus flower is immensely spiritual and can represent rebirth and resurrection. It carries a lot of meaning in Hindu and Buddhist cultures while many ancient civilisations associated the planet with new beginnings as well as beauty. It can subsequently be used to celebrate a range of new chapters and journeys.
When looking for flowers that celebrate new beginnings, you should consider the bond between you and the recipient as well as your budget and personal preferences.
If you need a bespoke preserved flower arrangement, please don’t hesitate to contact Magic Flower.]]>The symbolism of roses extends beyond the flower itself. This guide to the number of roses meaning will provide the info you need ahead of your next purchase.
When buying roses from Magic Flower, you must consider the colour choices. After all, red roses can carry a vastly different meaning to white roses or pink roses. However, when you ask “what does the number of roses mean?”, it is important to start with the single rose.
Giving a single rose is naturally a very cute gesture for youngsters or newly courting couples. However, it’s not just a display of affection; it actually stands for ‘love at first sight’.
Therefore, a single preserved rose can be an ongoing reminder of your feelings towards the recipient even if you’ve been together for years.
After learning that one rose has a distinct meaning, you may quickly assume that there are further connotations based on the number of roses given – and you’d be right.
This quick guide explains the symbolism behind the number of roses between 2-10 to help you make a clear statement when celebrating an anniversary or other memorable occasion.
When looking at real flowers or preserved flower arrangements, you could easily assume that more is better. However, the meaning of different numbers connected to roses should guide your purchase. Here are the big numbers that you should know;
Preserved flowers can last for up to a year and come in an arrangement of many different flower types. Whether you are looking for roses or rhododendrons, carnations or chrysanthemums, with bespoke preserved arrangements, you can enjoy multiple blooms that last all year round.

Flower subscriptions are the perfect way to show someone you care. With preserved flower subscriptions, you can enjoy the delivery of long-lasting flowers once every three months.

Choose between deep purple hues with the mulberry letterbox bouquet or rich yellows with the sandstone or pondland arrangements.

The Magic Flower Company uses specialist preserving technology to extend the natural life of a rose for up to a year. You can choose from a single delicate flower or compile a full bouquet of magic roses. It’s the perfect gift for a loved one to keep for months. From deep black to pure white, preserved roses are the perfect addition to a preserved flower bouquet. Choose from a hand-tied bouquet, a vase arrangement or a delicate bud vase with slimline foliage and two magic roses.

Most natural flowers will only last a few weeks in their vases. But with the Magic Flower Company, you can enjoy long-lasting roses which last for over a year. You can order a singular beautiful rose or even a fully preserved flower arrangement. The Magic Flower Company uses a specialist treatment on real plants to extend their lifespan. Paired with a collection of long-life foliage, you can enjoy a bouquet that lasts all year round.
Chrysanthemums have the longest natural lifespan of any non-treated plant and can last up to three weeks in a vase. They come in a lot of different colours, from pure white to vibrant yellows and pinks. When put in a mixed bouquet they will often outlast other flowers, so you might want to keep them in a bouquet of their own to enjoy a three-week bloom.
Carnations can last between two-three weeks in a vase. Their pleated petals are a welcome addition to any bouquet, and the frills of the petals can even be a different colour from the rest of the flower. Carnations are usually available from late spring through to early summer in the wild and can bloom for up to two months.
Lilies and alstroemerias (known as the Peruvian Lily) can last up to two weeks in a bouquet. Alstroemerias in particular must be watered regularly to thrive for a fortnight. The Peruvian Lily is similar in appearance to the traditional lily but is not from the same plant family.
The Clematis is a climbing plant that can produce flowers in a range of colours, traditionally a deep purple or pink. Clematis are a welcome addition to any flower collection and can last up to two weeks in a bouquet. Clematis produce bright, pointed petals that will definitely add colour to any room.
Delphiniums bloom in a stunning mix of blue, violet and white, and can last over two weeks in a bouquet. Their delicate flower gatherings make an eye-catching addition to any arrangement. They’ve been part of a UK floral bouquet for centuries, and are a common addition to an English garden.
