As the season turns, spring events are shedding excess and embracing a quieter kind of confidence. This year, design is less about perfection and polish, and more about feeling, how a space moves, breathes and unfolds in the moment.
In this Q&A, our Senior Events Designer and Stylist Rosie shares what’s shaping spring celebrations right now, from the shift towards more expressive, naturally evolving florals to the growing importance of scale, spacing and atmosphere. Drawing inspiration far beyond the world of flowers, including interiors, form and materiality, she reflects on how contrast, restraint and thoughtful composition are redefining spring events, creating settings that feel lighter, more modern and beautifully alive.
Q1: What’s shaping spring events this season? What are we finally leaving behind and what feels new, exciting, and evolved?
Spring events this season feel softer, more intentional, and a little more confident. We’re moving away from overly styled, hyper-perfect designs and leaning into arrangements that feel natural, expressive, and alive. Think fewer rigid colour palettes and more nuanced combinations, unexpected tones, varied textures and flowers that feel as though they’re growing rather than placed.
What feels new is the focus on atmosphere over excess. Clients are prioritising how a space feels. For example, light, movement, scent, and scale, rather than just filling it with florals. There’s a renewed appreciation for seasonal flowers used thoughtfully, letting spring speak for itself instead of overpowering it.
Q2: What’s one design element that clients underestimate when planning a spring event?
Scale and negative space are often underestimated. In spring especially, it’s tempting to want flowers everywhere, but restraint is what allows a design to breathe. Leaving intentional space between elements makes arrangements feel lighter, more elevated, and more in tune with the season.
When scale and spacing are considered carefully, even simpler floral moments feel impactful. It’s less about adding more and more about placing things exactly where they belong.
Q3: Where are you finding inspiration this season beyond floristry? OR What’s inspiring you this season outside the world of flowers?
This season, much of my inspiration is coming from the interiors world. In January, I visited Maison & Objet in Paris, where chrome was a major presence. It was used in ways that felt sculptural rather than cold and it’s really stayed with me. There was a strong emphasis on pattern layered with pattern, alongside unexpected shapes and bold forms, which felt playful yet considered.
I’m finding myself translating those ideas into floral design through reflective vessels, more experimental silhouettes, and combinations that feel intentionally layered rather than perfectly matched. It’s influencing how I think about contrast and composition, mixing soft, seasonal blooms with stronger structural elements to create designs that feel fresh, modern, and a little unexpected for spring.
