The ability to determine seasonally appropriate flowers is akin to knowing when it’s too late in the year to continue wearing espadrilles or when it’s gotten balmy enough that a winter coat looks out of place.

Florist royalty Kally Ellis – founder of celebrity and hotel favourite McQueens (they’re also the ones behind the Vanity Fair Oscars party) – imparts her wisdom on the finest types of winter flowers, how to make them last longer and her style suggestions. Plus, our vase suggestions for the prettiest arrangement.
