New Arrangements

An arrangement arrives already assembled, flower and vase together: all that is left is to find the right height for it. The new pieces range from the small bedside rose to the large console orchid, with peonies, calla lilies and hydrangeas in between.

Height determines placement

The name of each arrangement gives its height, and that is where to start. The smallest, around fifteen centimeters, sit on a nightstand, a windowsill or a corner of a desk. Medium heights suit a coffee table or a shelf. The large orchids, for their part, need a console or an uncluttered entryway to open up.

Each flower has its own tone

Roses and peonies bring softness and volume to a classic interior. Calla lilies, more graphic, hold a vertical line and suit pared-back rooms. Hydrangeas fill a wide vase with their round heads. Finally, the Séréna orchid has a very recognizable, airy silhouette that stands on its own on a piece of furniture.

Keeping them crisp over time

An artificial arrangement needs no water: the vase stays dry, and it is dust you need to watch. A feather duster or a soft brush passed over the petals is usually enough. Avoid full sun behind a window, which eventually fades the colors, and straighten the stems by hand after moving it.

Frequently asked questions

Is the vase part of the arrangement?

Yes, the product name says so: the flower and its vase form a ready-made set, in ceramic or glass depending on the model.

Should I add water?

No, never. The stems are artificial and water would add nothing, except a risk to the base of the arrangement.

Can I combine several arrangements?

Yes, by playing with heights rather than numbers: one large piece, one medium, one small, in the same color range. An odd number, like a trio, is easier on the eye than a pair.
