Flowers for Spring
Is it just us or when Spring Bank Holiday is around the corner, it really starts to get us in the mood for summer? On May 25th, we’ll have Spring Bank Hol this year and let’s be honest, it’s going to be one to remember. But not for the reasons we might have expected. This year, it seems we’ll be spending Spring Bank Holiday indoors. Or at least in the nearby park with only our households. So, what can we do to make Spring Bank Holiday feel a little special this year? Brighten Up with Flowers Obviously, at Eternal Petals, we’re all about flowers. Whatever the occasion, whatever the event or holiday, flowers are the answer. And Spring Bank Holiday is no different this year. So, one thing we’ll be doing to brighten up our homes for the spring holiday is to add some vibrancy to our rooms with our long-lasting roses. Instead of opting for subtle white or natural green, this holiday, we’re all about the colour. We’re thinking bold flashes of on-trend lilac roses for the most Instagram-worthy aesthetic, pops of beautiful brightening orange roses or even celebratory splashes of sunshine yellow. Whether you’re brightening up your own home for the Spring holiday or sending flowers to a friend or loved one to make them smile, opt for long-lasting roses that promise to last a whole year. Much longer than our current situation. Make Plans So, we might not be able to plan a big party or a day out with friends like we usually would for Spring Bank Holiday. But that doesn’t mean we can’t make plans and make the day special. If you’re living with a group, why not plan a picnic or BBQ in the garden and set a cute spring table to really make an afternoon of it? If you’re isolating alone, why not set up a Zoom afternoon? Invite your group of friends in and each have your own private picnic on camera. Distanced but together. Spring Clean If there’s ever a good excuse to do a full spring clean of the house, then it’s got to be in time for Spring Bank Holiday! Imagine a top to bottom fresh and clean home just in time for your Spring day off. Use the upcoming bank holiday as a goalpost and inspiration to get your house in tip-top shape. Just make sure it’s done and dusted in time for the holiday so that you can take the day off and enjoy the benefits of your work. This will likely be the only Spring Bank Holiday that we ever spend in lockdown. So, instead of seeing it as a negative that we can’t head out or meet up with friends and family, let’s stay positive and see it as a memorable, once in this lifetime experience. One that we’re sure to be talking about for years to come. Brighten up your home this May with some Spring Bank Holiday flowers that promise to get you in the mood for the summer.

3 Reasons Now Is the Perfect Time to Send Roses
The last month or so have been some of the strangest weeks in our history. In a time where we are separated from our friends and families, restricted from heading out to work and even told how and where to exercise, the right thing to do is less clear than ever. However, it’s been beautiful for us, here at Eternal Petals, to see people still sending their loved ones our stunning long-lasting roses. This is because, throughout all their troubles and worries, our customers still want to put a smile on their special someone’s face. So today, we thought we’d mention why now might be the perfect time to send someone roses. Lots of People are Totally Alone While many people are isolating at home with family or roommates, many people are also self-isolating at home all alone. Whether that’s through choice or difficult circumstances, being home alone for this number of weeks is tough. While it won’t bring them company in person, sending someone isolating at home alone the gift of beautiful roses might just make their day. Or week! They’re probably very reliant on phone calls and video chats at the moment and a delivery of flowers to their door will let them know that they’re not really alone. Life Goes On Many people have celebrated birthdays, anniversaries and even the birth of babies while the COVID-19 situation has continued to dominate. And that’s because, life does go on. Celebrating your birthday or a special occasion in isolation without your friends and family is far from ideal. Which is why it might be the perfect time to show someone you are celebrating with them in spirit with a beautiful box or bouquet of roses. Choose their favourite colour or a colour that means something to them and let them celebrate their birthday or special event in the best way possible during this time. You Can Really Show You Care While many people are finding a productive way to navigate current times, many people are also struggling through and finding it difficult to cope with the change of pace. Sending a delivery of stunning roses to someone’s door out of the blue and for no real reason at all shows you care. And for those struggling, helps them to stay positive. A reminder that their friends are waiting for them for when this is all just a memory. As we all wait for updates and continue to practice safe social distancing and isolation, life does indeed go on. And if we can make someone smile with a beautiful box of long-lasting roses, then we will continue to do so. We’ve made some changes to the way we are doing business at Eternal Petals, which you can see here. If you have someone special in mind that you’d love to gift roses to – roses that will outlast our current situation too – then we’d love to help. Browse our long-lasting roses collections and please feel free to get in touch if we can help further.

Valentines Day with Eternal Petals!
Are you looking for that perfect unique gift for the love of your life? Trying to think of a good gift for that special someone who maybe isn’t quite that special yet? Want to get a nice valentines gift for your bestie? Scoured the shelves of Harrods or Selfridges and still haven’t found what you’re looking for? Running out of time and starting to panic? Your search is over. At Eternal Petals we believe in love that lasts for an eternity. What better way to celebrate that love than with a rose that lasts for at least a year (or longer). They are unique and thoughtful and can be customised by you for your special someone. We have many options you can go for. They include Solos, Quartets, Square and Round boxes. If you want something to represent that one and only person in your life consider a Solo. Our Solo is a rose of your choice inside a gorgeous crystal clear container. We have a vast selection of rose colours available. Maybe red isn’t you and your love’s colour? We have gorgeous shades of blue, green, pink and even satin shades to recognise a few. Maybe you’re not so confident in your special someone’s affection? Our customised Solo is subtle enough that if they end up not reciprocating that adoration you’re not going to find yourself in hopefully too awkward a situation. You could simply give them a Sweetheart white gold Solo. It’s sweet and subtle - the perfect luxury gift. Maybe you are confident in their feelings for you and want to give them a huge declaration of your love you could try our Deep Love solo with Swarovski dream, a Swarovski crystal in the centre and customised initials on the solo edge. If you wanted to go a step further you could give them one of our Quartets. This is four of our roses inside a slightly larger clear container so you can have every single view our beautiful roses. These can be customised just like our Solos. We also have available - for those who are madly in love and will spare no expense for their special someone, those that want to make the grandest gesture possible, besides proposing - our square and round boxes. Our square box is available in a black, white or marble velvet finish. We have available the option to customise the box by adding initials - yours or your loves or even both your letters - with a pearl, rainbow Swarovski crystal and also a clear Swarovski crystal. You can then choose 16 roses, we have the option of one or two colours for the square box. If you want to take it an extra step further you can add a Swarovski crystal to the centre of four, eight, or sixteen roses. We recommend one on each rose so that none of them feel left out, it is after all Valentines Day! We also have the option of our round box - a selection of 11-14 of our nicest roses in a black suede finish round box. Like our square boxes we have the option of adding Swarovski crystals to the centre of either six or twelve roses. Again, we would recommend, should you choose this option, to add one to all of them. Not to mention you can choose the option of adding glitter to any of the roses in our products. This adds an extra glimmer to our Solos and Quartets - especially when they are in the sunlight. On our boxes the roses stand out beautifully and sparkle like diamonds in the sun. Perfect for those who are blinded by love. Eternal Petals roses are the perfect luxury gift for anyone in your life. You could get one for your mum or your close friend. Perhaps that lonely person in your life who may need some cheering up on this cupid’s holiday. An Eternal Petals rose is a great gift and a lovely gesture that says you are my dearest friend and I care about you. Consider our Bumblebee Solo - yellow is after all known to be synonymous with friendship. It can be customised with a Swarovski crystal at the centre of the rose or you could put their initials on the side of the Solo. We hope you have a wonderful and romantic Valentines Day and with the help of Eternal Petals that it is even better!

10 Facts about Roses
Here at Eternal Petals, we love roses. Our favourite flower, roses symbolise so many things and have been an inherent part of English history. Plus, they’re timeless beauties that will never go out of style. Although roses are one of the most well-known flowers around the world, we bet there are a few interesting facts about this English bud that you would never have guessed. Here are just ten of our favourites. 1. The rose is England’s traditional national flower. Since the time of the War of the Roses (1455), the rose has been the emblem of England. Specifically, the Tudor Rose. 2. 55 million roses are sent every Valentine’s Day in the UK. Let that number sink in. That’s a lot of roses we love to send to one another every single year on one day! 3. The fruit of a rose is called the rosehip. This ingredient is used frequently in beauty products as well as cooking in jams and preserves. It’s rich in vitamin C which makes it key for both foods and skincare. 4. There are thousands of songs about roses out there. Think about it, have you ever heard of another flower that gets so much air time? From Bon Jovi’s Bed of Roses and Seal’s Kiss from a Rose to A Rose is Still a Rose by Aretha Franklin, there are thousands of songs through history all about our beloved rose. 5. History says roses symbolised secrecy. Roses were worn around the neck in the time of the Romans. Men would discuss private matters “under the rose” and this would then be considered a sworn secret by those involved. Also known by the Latin phrase, sub rosa. 6. Archaeology shows that roses have been around for over 35 million years. This was discovered after finding a rose fossil in Colorado confirming it to be one of our oldest blooms. 7. Roses smell good for a reason. Roses have microscopic perfume glands which makes them perfect to use as a scent. The fragrance is released from these tiny glands which are found on the petal’s surface. But did you know, 25% of rose species have no scent at all? 8. Roses are very symbolic. Each colour means something different. Red means love. Yellow means friendship or congratulations. Orange roses represent desire. Hot pink roses mean gratitude while baby pink roses mean femininity and grace. White roses mean purity or innocence. Black roses symbolise rebirth. 9. Blue roses are quite new. In 2004, rose growers and enthusiasts managed to create the world’s first-ever blue rose after years of trying. 20. There are over 100 species of rose. Did you think a rose was just a rose? Well, there are actually over 100 species of rose and thousands of hybrid roses in one of the biggest range of colours in the flower world. How many of our ten facts about roses did you know already?

Roses in The Hallway Make the most stylish immediate first impression with a stunning box of roses in your hallway, exuding a chic statement. Adding flowers to a hallway allows you to see them the second you leave your home and the moment you arrive back, giving you a burst of positivity in an instant. It is also an ideal way to harmonise the luxury décor within the rooms off the hallway, creating a flowing interior ambience. Add Roses to Your Kitchen Is there really anything better than having stunning real flowers in your kitchen? Whether you love to cook or enjoy to entertain friends, the kitchen is the heart of every home. Therefore, it’s the perfect place to enjoy your luxury box of roses. Indulge in Bedroom Roses There’s nothing as romantic as roses in the bedroom. So, why not add roses that will also last a whole year with zero maintenance? Whether you opt for sumptuous tones, such as deep red or even black or bright hues for a touch of nature, a box of roses could be the perfect way to complete your bedroom’s interior design. Add a Touch of Luxury to The Bathroom The bathroom can often be an overlooked room when it comes to finishing touches, such as flowers. You might adore adding flowers to every room in the house but for some reason, when it comes to the bathroom, it gets left behind. Contemporary trends are seeing more and more plants and greenery within bathroom interior design. And why not add roses as well? Beautiful neutral colours, such as white and green roses are the perfect option for a bathroom or because our boxes of roses are longer lasting, why not coordinate with one of the colours already in your bathroom for perfect harmony? Roses in Every Window Enjoy them from inside but add a touch of luxury to the visuals of the outside of your home as well by placing your box of roses in the window. Catching the light and brightening up the edges of the room, it’s the perfect place to add a touch of colour. Wherever you spend the most time relaxing is the perfect place in your home for a luxury box of roses.

6 Interior Décor Accessories You Need in Your Home
Update your home this season with these 6 interior décor accessories trends. Whether you love to update your home every season or just once in a blue moon, accessories are the way to do it. Simple, easy changes can make all the difference in a space. And adding one of these 6 interior décor accessories trends can instantly transform your room. Try one or try them all for a whole new look for your home this season. Antique Artwork This season, artwork is all about antique vibes. Think moody watercolours and antique portraits and you’re on the right track. How to make it modern? Whether you buy an antique-style print from new or the real deal, display them in a simple and contemporary frame instead of an intricate antique frame and you’ve created the 2020 take on artwork. Extra Large Planters Greenery and artificial plants have been having a moment in interior trends for quite some time. More than a moment, in fact. But this season, planters are taking the lead. And they’re huge. To get this trend just right, think the bigger, the better. Huge, oversized and exaggerated indoor planters are a big look. Fill them with olive trees or dainty Italian-style plants for the perfect on-trend finish. Rattan Accessories Rattan is the new fabric in interiors. And accessories in rattan is one of the biggest trends for this year. Woven rattan baskets and storage pieces have been taking the spotlight for a while but this season, take it even further. Discover rattan accents, such as lampshades and mirrors and layer them with other neutral hues for a luxe take on natural modern style. Navy Blue Accents The colour of the moment? It’s still navy. Grey is still a big factor for interior design. But deep and rich navy blue might just be taking the lead. If you’re not ready for a navy-blue feature wall, you can create this trend in your home through accessories. Think luxe, textured throws, cushions and even features like mirrors and navy picture frames. Adding coordinating navy accents throughout a space, brings the room together while keeping your home on-trend. Plaster Finishes This year, plaster is in. While having Parisian-style bare plaster walls might not be an option for everyone, you can inject this look with just a few minimal plaster accessories and features. Think artwork, sculptures and lampshades crafted in neutral-hued plaster for the perfect look. Roses, Always https://www.instagram.com/p/B0yIa-iH9nm/ Our favourite trend this season – of course – is roses. Roses are a classic flower to choose for your home. But this season, they’re super on-trend too. Long-lasting roses are the perfect choice because of the huge wealth of colour options.

Real Roses That Last a Year – How Is This Possible?
Can Roses Really Last a Whole Year? Everyone loves real roses. The problem? No matter how well you take care of them and how much sunshine they get from sitting on a table or window sill, they can’t last. Sooner than you’d like, they start to wilt and you have to head out to the shops to replace them with fresh ones. And that’s why people are turning to long-lasting roses. Or year-long roses, as they are also known. These roses are real and yet they last for a WHOLE YEAR. But how? At Eternal Petals, we worked with our rose experts to create the ideal solution to wilting roses. By preserving them at their peak, we have created a way to keep them at their best for a year. Which means once you’ve found a bouquet you love, you can enjoy them for much longer. We start with sourcing the best roses Our roses aren’t just any other roses. We source the best quality roses from our expert rose partners in South America. The farm we are partnered with carefully grow our beautiful roses and cut them by hand to ensure they are protected from the moment they are parted from the ground. Cutting them in perfect bloom promises that the roses you have in your box or vase for a whole year are always at their peak. We then quickly preserve the roses Preserving the roses at their peak comes next. This has to be done quickly to promise a beautiful bloom for as long as possible. How does it work? Alongside our expert partners, we have created a preservation formula that is applied to each rose by hand individually. Crafted from a combination of all-natural oils and non-toxic wax, this formula ‘freezes’ the rose in time, as it is. In it’s perfectly bloomed state. Adding this formula to each rose stops them from growing any further. But it also stops them from wilting or dying. While doing this, the special formula has been designed to maintain each rose’s texture and hand-feel. So, you won’t find the roses are stiff or crispy. They are just as soft and luxurious as a rose that is still growing in your garden. We also have a state-of-the-art colour pigmentation process which guarantees whichever incredible colour you choose also lasts the whole year without fading. The final touches Preserving the roses in their perfect bloom isn’t the end of the journey at Eternal Petals. We also take huge pride in the presentation of our roses. Which is what our customers love the most about our collection. Opting for luxe suede display boxes, we hand select each rose and trim and add to the display boxes carefully to ensure your perfect bouquet or box.
