Hand-Tied Flower Bunches in Devon
What Actually Goes Into a Beyond Bloom Bunch
Hand-Tied Flower Bunches in Devon
At first glance, a bunch of flowers can look deceptively simple. A handful of stems, tied and wrapped, ready to brighten a room.
But what you don’t see is the time, judgment, and care that happens long before one of our hand-tied flower bunches in Devon ever reaches your hands.
We thought it might be nice to share a little of what goes on behind the scenes at Beyond Bloom.
Choosing the flowers
Every bunch begins with careful selection. Many of our flowers are grown on our own smallholding, where we work closely with the seasons and the land's natural rhythm.
Alongside this, we source from a small number of carefully chosen growers who share our values and attention to quality.
Working this way allows us to create hand-tied flower bunches that feel natural, seasonal, and connected to Devon rather than following a fixed, year-round formula. Some weeks are abundant, others more pared back, but what’s available is always at its best.
Not every stem makes the cut. We’re selective sometimes ruthlessly so. If something doesn’t feel right, it doesn’t go in. That consistency of judgement matters to us.
Conditioning and care
Good flowers don’t stay good by accident. Before arranging, every stem is properly conditioned, trimmed, cleaned, and given time to drink and recover.
This stage is quiet, practical, and essential. It’s one of the reasons our hand-tied flower bunches last well without relying on artificial additives or unnecessary treatments. Care, timing, and patience do most of the work.
Creating the bunch
When it comes to arranging, we favour balance over perfection. Texture is just as important as colour, and space matters as much as fullness.
We don’t believe in tightly packed arrangements designed simply to look impressive at first glance. Flowers need room to move and breathe, and our hand-tied flower bunches are designed to feel relaxed, natural, and at home in everyday life, on a kitchen table, a windowsill, or beside a well-used chair.
Living vases and materials
Where possible, we use recyclable living vases and natural-toned materials that complement the flowers rather than compete with them. These are designed to be reused and enjoyed long after the flowers themselves have faded.
Our wrapping is kept simple and practical, minimal, protective, and easy to recycle. No unnecessary plastic, no excess layers. It’s a quiet choice, but an intentional one.
Why do our bunches change
No two Beyond Bloom bunches are ever exactly the same, and that’s very much by design.
Growing flowers ourselves, working with small-scale growers, and responding to the seasons means variation is inevitable. But we see this as a strength, not a compromise. Each of our hand-tied flower bunches reflects what’s thriving in Devon at that moment.
Consistency, for us, isn’t about repetition. It’s about maintaining a standard.
A final thought
Our hand-tied flower bunches in Devon aren’t designed to shout. They’re made to sit quietly in your home and do what flowers have always done: lift the mood, mark a moment, or gently improve an ordinary day.
No shortcuts. No tricks. Just thoughtful choices, careful hands, and a genuine love of the work.
