We are proud to support one of Britain's most recognisable and treasured heritage sites, Castle Howard. This decadent arrangement is inspired by the magnificent 8,800-acre estate. Working with Castle Howard, a place like no other, we have produced an arrangement designed to impress. Introducing exclusively to the Castle Howard Collection for this Mother's Day, The Lady Mary Howard bouquet. Lady Mary Howard was the Daughter of the 6th Earl and Countess of Carlisle who's portrait adorns in the Turquoise Drawing Room within Castle Howard. In the stunning portrait of Lady Mary Howard that was commissioned from the Yorkshire artist John Jackson we see Lady Mary Howard wearing an elegant white dress with a fashionable blue waist ribbon and matching shoes, while holding a small posey of pink roses. These inspired this beautiful bouquet, including beautiful Sweet Avalanche Roses, Pink Germini, Pink Tulips finished with Pink Bouvardia. Proceeds from this bouquet will be passed to Castle Howard to contribute to the continued preservation and conservation of this beautiful Heritage site and to contribute to its maintenance to help ensure it can be enjoyed for many years to come.
