Feast your eyes on these fabulously floral feeds

If you thought Instagram was all food, fashion and holiday snaps, you clearly haven’t seen the floral-themed feeds that have been blossoming of late. 

Whether you’re looking for some creative inspiration or clever design hacks for your own floral arrangements at home – or you just want an instant flower fix to brighten up your morning coffee break – check out these florist and flower-stylist feeds. They’re blooming gorgeous!

Swallows & Damsons (@swallowsanddamsons)

Floristry meets fine art and faded grandeur in the images of Sheffield based florist Anna Potter. Bouquets of delicate pastel petals and lush, rich foliage are set against backdrops of concrete, distressed wood and heavily worn patterns, for an atmospheric look reminiscent of classical paintings. The perfect inspiration for a vintage wedding.

The Bouqs Company (@thebouqs)

If you love your blooms bold and bright, look no further than the Bouqs Company feed. Their flowers are grown on the side of a volcano by the equator, 10,000 feet above sea level – so they get more than their fair share of sun. And more sun means more colour. (Don’t miss their beautiful shot of David Bowie, reclining on a balcony by a cascade of beautiful red roses.)

Fashion illustrator Meredith Wing brings her designs to life with fresh flowers. Adding a delicate and three-dimensional quality to her works, a few carefully placed petals or a cluster of fulsome flower heads evoke the fluidity of fabric and the voluminous nature of her gowns in a way brushstrokes simply can’t.

Erin Benzakein gave up city life to pursue her dream of running a flower farm. Pictures of sweet peas and dahlias are interspersed with images of the family at work among the flowers in rural Skagit Valley, Washington. This idyllic picture of family life will have you wanting to run away to the country to become a florist.

New Mexico-based artist and yoga teacher Ja Soon Kim intersperses calming, idyllic snaps of glorious sunrises and lapping waves with her stunning floral arrangements.
