Why English Garden Style Floral Arrangements Are So Popular

Lush, beautiful, and with a mix of garden-style flowers that grow together naturally, the English Garden Style type of floral arrangement is gaining in popularity. Also known as the English Cottage style, this design mimics the look of charming cottage gardens that dot the English countryside.

English Cottage

Originally started as a vegetable and herb garden, the cottage garden began to incorporate seasonal flowers resulting in a luxurious mix of a great variety of plants and blooms. In stark contrast to stylized Victorian gardens seen across large English estates, cottage gardens allow Mother Nature to take over creating harmonious pairings of plants and flowers, an overgrowth and abundance, and artful irregularity not controlled by human hands.

Elements of the English Garden Style 

Large blooms combined with assorted flowers and greenery that all grow together in the same season is a key component of this type of arrangement. Also, it is designed to look natural, rather than contrived, pretentious, or overly styled. The essence of the English garden style is to capture the look of an abundant flowering garden in all its natural glory. Flowers such as roses, peonies, dahlias, and ranunculus are popular, as well as spikey florals such as larkspur, delphinium, snapdragons, and foxglove. The shape of this style is typically round or oval. The overall color scheme is one of bright colors like you’d see in a cottage garden, but a new trend also favors a pastel-colored floral palette.
