Case Study – Fratelli Woburn Winter Floral Installation

Serving luscious, hearty, fresh, and totally authentic Italian dishes, Fratelli Woburn is an award winning, family owned restaurant managed by three brothers Carmelo, Mario and Antonino Di Giorgi. United by a love of simple Italian produce, prepared and cooked with passion, Fratelli Woburn makes all guests feel like part of the family.

What was our brief?

Carmelo Di Giorgi contacted us to find out if they could hire and whether we could create interior decoration for a marquee they were planning to add to the garden area of the restaurant in the autumn, winter through spring months. Aside from some practical and health and safety related considerations, we were tasked with leading on the selection and styling of luxury artificial flowers and greenery.

What was our design approach?

We wanted to create a warm and inviting dining environment, one that surprised and delighted guests on stepping into the marquee.

We crafted an ‘Italian banquet’ bursting with lush flowers and greenery framed on a vintage ladder which was hung across the top of the marquee. We also styled metres and metres of our bespoke vine and ivy garlands which we thought would work perfectly in the build-up to Christmas and then softened for spring during our New Year visit.

The same applied for the table decorations – we combined oak log slices with a selection of small glasses vase with clusters of flowers and accompanying greenery which worked beautifully for the Christmas season and equally when we switched the arrangements as spring started its approach.

We asked Carmelo whether he thought he got a return on his investment? And if he was happy with the work of our team?

“We were very happy with the care and thought with which Ferris Heart Sloane created and installed an original design. We got a lot of compliments which supported strong bookings in our marquee, and the high quality floral and decorative products they selected definitely married with our brand. We’ve since gone on to ask the Ferris Heart Sloane team to work with us on a number of projects for our Ampthill restaurant Cicchetti, which include the selection and planting of palms in our dining area and a hanging floral staircase.”

Make A Statement With Luxury Faux Flowers This Valentine’s Day

There are few ways to send a message of love quite so excitingly romantic as with a bouquet of beautiful flowers. When words simply aren’t enough, a bunch of exquisite blooms becomes a passionate love letter that the recipient need only glance at to be reminded their lover’s ardour. At Ferris Heart Sloane, our latest range of luxurious artificial flowers transcend the usual Valentine’s Day bouquet. These amazingly realistic faux blooms will not wilt or fade, but endure and delight for years to come. What better way to declare true love than with a florabundant token of everlasting devotion? Our lovingly handcrafted Valentine’s gifts include stunning rose bouquets with exquisite pearls, exotic red magnolias, whimsical heart-shaped wreaths and delicate petal garlands that add a delightfully unconventional and fashionably faux touch to any room all year round. In the language of floriography, which dates back to the 17th century and conveys the meanings of different flowers, the red rose has long been a Valentine’s Day favourite, traditionally used to represent desire and allowing to the giver to show off their wealth and good taste. Magnolia flowers add an unconventional, exotic twist, often being used to signify feminine beauty and dignity. Brought together in one of our handcrafted, luxury bouquets, they work together to create a wonderfully harmonious arrangement, both visually and symbolically. With artificial blooms enjoying a huge upsurge in popularity, giving faux flowers as a gift, or using them to adorn your event or venue, is the perfect way to create a sumptuous and enduring visual effect that can be easily transported and used time and time again, making artificial flowers the obvious choice if you are planning to propose in a far-flung location, or if you want to be confident of flawless floral arrangements for a Valentine’s Day destination wedding. The exquisite blooms, sprays and bouquets we offer stay perky and fresh, allowing you to keep them safe and sound all day at the office before a Valentine’s Day dinner in the evening, or to stow them in your hand luggage as you jet of for a romantic mini-break. If you are in the UK, our next day delivery option allows you to make a last minute gesture that is sure to impress. Our stunning, deluxe artificial flower arrangements also have the added benefit of being allergy-friendly, which means no pollen-induced sneezes to dampen the mood. Decadence is the order of the day when it comes to Valentine’s gifts and decor and our artificial foam flowers add that extra touch of “unreal” indulgence that work equally well in a vase on a dressing table for a Valentine’s Day gift that stands out of the crowd; in a unique window display for a retail space; as props for fashion and lifestyle shoots; or for a dream romantic wedding where the flowers are a principal feature, but where budget is key. We can offer you the perfect Valentines wedding flower package. Think: plush, high quality flower walls and arches, centrepieces, table-runners and opulent garlands that won’t break the bank. Get in touch with us to make a grand gesture to your loved-one this Valentine’s Day with a big, bold, deluxe floral arrangement that says enduring passion and remember: a red rose is not just for Valentine’s Day.

In Conversation With Natasha From Bloom Room Flowers

Who doesn’t love fresh wedding flowers? But before you order your big day blooms, a quick question, have you checked out the quality and realistic look of luxury artificial flowers recently? They’re definitely worth considering as the latest high-end floral reproductions are so amazingly lifelike and botanically correct that you may even be tempted to go up to a display to touch petals and run your fingers across leaves to find out.

Artificial flowers really have come such a long way in recent years and are definitely a viable alternative to fresh wedding flowers, with so many additional advantages. They are often less expensive, without compromising on quality and bouquets are lighter to hold. Faux flowers hold up well in both strong sunshine, with no wilting and can withstand heavy downpours, making them ideal for outdoor floral displays at your ceremony and venue. They’re a great choice for allergy suffers too. Read more from the interview here.
