Studio notes

Inside the studio: a morning at the flower market

Our day starts at 4am among buckets of roses and racks of greenery. Come along for a morning at the market with our lead florist.

Most of our customers never see the flower market, but it is where every PetalPeppy bouquet begins.

4:00am

The van is loaded with empty buckets and coffee. The market opens to trade buyers before sunrise.

4:30am

We walk every stall before buying anything. The best stems are often tucked at the back.

6:00am

Back at the studio, every stem is cut, cleaned and given a long drink before it is arranged.

By the time the shop opens at 9am, the day's florist's choice bunches are ready to go.
