Get Crafty – DIY Flower Crown Kits

Hands up who loves a flower crown? We know we do, not only are they perfect for festivals, corporate summer parties and other special occasions – think press days, weddings and other occasions; they’re also pretty simple to make too – even if you‘re not a natural dab hand at crafts. If you’ve attended one of our famous flower crown workshops in the past, you’ll know how fun the whole experience is, and what a great opportunity it is to put your creative hat on (so to speak) for a couple of hours. Check out more about our flower crown workshops here.

However, if you’re more of a closet arts and crafter, and would like to try your hand at making flower crowns within the comfort of your own home – look to our flower crown kits. Each DIY set comes in a recycled box you can reuse to store your flower crowns and includes an easy to follow instruction guide to help you on your way, which we’re pretty sure you won’t need after you’ve made your first one. You can also pre-select the colours and flowers you would prefer, and we can put together a bespoke kit for you – sounds good, eh?

As well as making individual flower crowns for you and the family, you can also use these kits if you’re doing team bonding exercises at work, hen parties, baby and bridal showers – they also make the perfect addition to a gift bag if you’re hosting a special event. Flower crown making outside is so much fun in the summer, too.

So, not only can you don your flower crown on your head, you can style it various other ways too – here’s a few flower crown styling tips for your reference:

– Make a flower crown you can use to accessories a handbag. Flowers adorning a straw bag looks so cute for holidays and summer outings

– Use your flower crown as a hanging home accessory – a flower crown looks great hanging at the back of a door or hung on the wall

– Use it as a floral necklace, you can’t beat a statement necklace

– Attach your flower crown to your bridal veil to add an ethereal touch

Animal Themed Event? No Problem

Are you ready to take your special event to new extremes? Of course, you are. And what better way to go all out than with an animal themed flower wall. Our animal-themed botanical walls are perfect for galas, weddings, parties or any occasion where you want to add a bit of character; think unicorns, pony’s, parrots, lions and tigers and bears (oh my), and pretty much any animal that speaks to you. Remember, if you can imagine it, we can create it.

With work created for London Zoo and The Aspinall Foundation, we’ve created eye-catching designs based on specific requirements. For example, large zebras surrounded by colourful butterfly’s and birds and a champagne wall on a botanical base smattered with beautiful birds. Not only do we thoroughly enjoy the process from start to finish, we love seeing the finished article.

Talking of The Aspinall Foundation, did you know that 10% from any animal wall hire/permanent install will be donated to the foundation? Find out more about the charity here.

Intrigued? Here are a few FAQs regarding our animal themed botanical walls:

What events could you have an animal themed wall for?

We can create an animal wall for anything your heart desires. Look to weddings based at zoos, animal balls, events for animal-based charities, children’s parties – the list goes on.

Can we choose any animals?

Yes. Just let us know the animal you’d like your wall to be centred around and we’ll provide a spec and quote.

As well as animals, can the wall still include flowers?

Yes, so you can have a combination of faux flowers mixed with real flowers surrounding your animal centre piece. You can even have champagne flutes too!

Can you hire an animal flower wall?

You can either hire a wall or purchase the wall. As mentioned above, 10% will be donated to The Aspinall Foundation.

Do you have any examples of animal walls you have created before?

Absolutely. Please see some images below of an animal wall we have made previously.

A Champagne Supernova

Even though flower walls still take centre stage when it comes to dressing a space, what better way to toast this omnipresent trend then with some champagne. And talking of champagne, hands up if you’ve actually seen a real wall full of champagne?

Designed to enable champagne flutes and glasses to sit within a wall, champagne walls have special shelves which can be constructed to fit in to botanical walls made from luxe greenery, or full flower walls crafted with different colour blooms. So, not only do you get a beautiful flower arrangement, you also get bubbles too – how great is that?

So very perfect for weddings and special occasions where a toast might be required, our champagne walls not only offer something fabulous to look at, they can also be custom made to suit your requirements. For example, if you have a pink colour scheme for say a wedding perhaps, we can create a pink peony flower wall, install champagne shelves within the wall and pour pink Veuve Clicquot Rose or champagne in the flutes so everything’s coordinated. But that’s not all…

Here are a few ideas on how you can style your champagne wall:

1. You could go down the personalisation route and add lettering to your champagne wall.

2. Why not section your champagne wall off to create a separate area people can enjoy it and use it for photos?

3. With the lettering, you could create your very own champagne bar and make a theme of it. Everyone loves an immersive experience.

4.If you really want to go that extra mile, you can create a champagne wall corridor made from greenery and featuring shelves full of champagne. Now that’s what we call an entrance.

5. Last but not least (and probably our favourite) you could use a champagne wall as a seating chart for a wedding. Yep, fill a champagne flute for each guest, put a nametag on it and place the wall by the entrance so people are not only greeted with their own flute of (personalised) champagne, but they know where they’re sitting too.

There are many, many other ways in which you can create your champagne wall and style it and we’re on board for the ride, especially when champers is involved.

If you would like to discuss your champagne wall needs, please contact us by email hello@ferrisheartsloane.com for more information. But, in the meantime here’s a few we made earlier….

A Floral Design Company With A Difference

If you’re new to the site, and new to Ferris Heart Sloane, we thought it only right we introduce/ re-introduce ourselves and tell you exactly what we have to offer.

Using both natural and faux flowers, we’ve become synonymous with beautiful floral design for personal commissions, private installations and more. Over the past few years we’ve worked with some of the UK’s leading brands, including most our most recent fresh and faux flower project with YouTube, Google, Polo Ralph Lauren, Bare Minerals, Adventure Bar Group to name but a few.

Our fresh approach to floral design sees us working on a range of contemporary projects stemming from weddings, summer events, bridal showers, and commercial installations, and any creative design projects you can think of.

The secret? As well as creating beautiful faux flower installations that last all season long, our floral design work involves us working with fresh flowers too and combining them both to create a texture, smell and look like no other. This makes our work a little bit different from others and stand out from the crowd.

Our floral design continues to exceed our client’s expectations, and each project we work on is well-organised by our exceptional team of florists – if you can imagine it, we can create it.
