Provence: A Lavender Rose Arrangement in a Glass Vase

There is a particular hush to lavender roses. Not the loud red of romance, but something softer and more knowing, the colour of a first blush and a long, quiet devotion. Provence gathers those mauve and lilac roses with a scatter of purple asters, arranged in a glass vase in our Claremont studio the same way we have styled flowers since 1999. It is what you send when the feeling is real but the words are still finding their shape.

What Is in the Provence Arrangement

At its heart sit soft-headed lavender roses, the dusky mauve variety our florists reach for when a rose needs to feel antique and a little mysterious. Around them we tuck purple asters, those small starry daisies that carry the last of the season, and a loose collar of fresh greenery, all arranged in a simple glass vase so there is nothing to do but set it down and enjoy it.

If you love this softer purple palette, you are in good company. The Luxury Lavender Garden Bouquet leans into cooler blues and lilacs, while Gentle Soul keeps the focus on lilac-toned roses alone. For more pink in the mix, Berry Bloom and Pretty in Pink and Purple turn up the colour. You can browse the whole spectrum in our purple flowers edit, or stay with this relaxed, jar-styled look in our flowers in a jar. Prefer a hand-tied bunch instead? Our rose bouquets run from a handful of stems to something grand.

What Do Lavender Roses Mean?

Lavender roses traditionally symbolise enchantment, love at first sight and a devotion that borders on the magical. Where a red rose shouts, a lavender rose confides. The deeper purple roses carry a slightly different note, one of majesty, admiration and quiet dignity, which is why this palette suits both new romance and long, steady partnerships.

The purple asters woven through Provence add their own meaning. Asters have long stood for love, patience and wisdom, and as a September bloom they carry a gentle nod to new seasons and fresh starts. If you enjoy sending flowers with a message tucked inside, our guide to the meaning of celebration blooms is a lovely place to linger.

When to Send Provence

Provence was made for the in-between moments as much as the milestones. It is soft enough for a first anniversary and grown-up enough for a fortieth, which is why it sits so easily among our anniversary flowers. Send it to mark a new home, a new chapter, or simply a Tuesday that needed lifting.

It makes a quietly confident choice among our gifts for her, particularly for the woman who finds red a touch obvious and prefers something with more nuance. Because asters and lilac tones feel just-picked, Provence also earns a place in our spring flowers for anyone who loves a garden-gathered look. Not sure it is quite right? Our guide to choosing the perfect bouquet walks you through colour, size and occasion in a few easy steps.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do the lavender roses in Provence mean?

Lavender roses are the flower of enchantment and love at first sight, a softer and more romantic message than the classic red rose. They speak of adoration and a devotion that feels a little magical, which makes Provence a thoughtful choice for new love, anniversaries and anyone you adore quietly.

What is the difference between lavender roses and purple roses?

Lavender roses are a soft, cool, almost silvery purple, delicate and antique in feeling. Purple roses run deeper and richer, towards violet and plum, and carry a sense of majesty and admiration. Provence leans to the lavender and lilac end of that spectrum, with dusky mauve roses and purple asters.

What flowers are in the Provence arrangement?

Provence is built around soft lavender and lilac roses, gathered with delicate purple asters and fresh seasonal greenery, then arranged in a simple glass vase. Exact stems may vary a little with the season, as our florists always choose the freshest blooms on the day.

Fabulous Flowers and Gifts Fresh Flowers Care Instructions

Fresh Flowers

Find a Vase: Your lovely blooms need a drink! Put them in your favourite vase with fresh water as soon as possible.

Trim Those Stems: Keep those stems fresh by cutting them at an angle. This allows more water up the stem. Checking and trimming the stems every few days will keep them sound.

Gently Strip Leaves: Remove any excess leaves, especially from the part of the stem that will be submerged. This helps to avoid rot and bacteria, which can shorten your flowers life span.

Remove Old Blooms: Drooping flowers release ethylene gas, which may accelerate the aging of other flowers. Strip off any dead or dying flowers to keep the rest of the bouquet looking bright and fresh.

Keep Them Cool: Place your flowers away from heat sources such as heaters, televisions, or ovens to retain the beauty of your flowers.

Clean Water: Always place your flowers in clean water. Refresh your vase with water daily or at least every second day.

Gift Boxes

Storage Tips: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to keep contents in perfect condition.

Handling with Care: Handle this box gently so as not to damage the delicate items inside.

Freshening: If your gift includes foods or beverages, please refer to the individual product use-by and expiry dates and the informational materials regarding storage recommendations:

Plants

Watering: Ensure your plants are hydrated but avoid overwatering. Check the soil moisture regularly and water it when the top inch feels dry.

Light: Place your plants in a spot where they receive the appropriate amount of light. Some prefer bright, indirect light, while others thrive in low-light conditions.

Feeding: Feed your plants with a balanced fertiliser every few weeks during the growing season to keep them healthy and vibrant.

Pruning: Regularly remove dead leaves and trim back overgrown branches to encourage new growth and maintain the plant shape.

Humidity: Some plants thrive in high humidity. If needed, mist your plants occasionally or place a humidifier nearby to create a favourable environment.

Artificial Flowers and Plants

Dusting: Your artificial flowers and botanicals should be lightly dusted regularly with a soft cloth or feather duster.

Light Washing: For deeper cleaning, please use a cloth lightly dampened with water and a small amount of mild detergent. Gently wipe the leaves and petals.

Avoid Direct: Sunlight Do not place under direct sunlight in order to prevent colours from fading.

Fluff and Arrange: Just fluff up petals and leaves to remain fluffy. Set them in position as desired to look natural.
