Whether it’s GCSEs, A-Levels, or your degree, results day is a big deal. Months (even years!) of hard work culminate in a piece of paper with those all-important grades.

Celebrating hard work and achievement is important, especially when the results signify the beginning of a new chapter. Flowers are a wonderful gift for those getting results or graduating, especially as celebrations usually end up on social media nowadays!

Below we look at our top 5 hand-tied bouquets. Not only do they arrive pre-arranged as a bouquet, but they’re perfect to show your loved one how proud of them you are (and they’ll also look nice on the Instagram grid!)

Please note that many of our flowers are sent in bud to prolong their life, so we recommend ordering them to arrive a few days prior to the big day itself so they look their best for photos!

Top tips for photos

Capturing special moments is important, as these memories last a lifetime. This is easier than ever to do now that everyone has a camera in their pocket!

If you want to take the best pictures of your loved one and their bouquet, our Social Media Manager Kim and our Videographer Reece have some tips below.

For photos of people, Kim suggests:

“For vertical shots, flip your phone upside down so the lens is closer to the ground. This creates interesting angles and unique perspectives.

“Avoid using zoom on your phone as doing this lowers image quality. Instead, move closer for a sharper photo.

“Hold your phone with both hands and keep your elbows close to your body (ideally rest your elbows against your stomach) for a more stable photo.”

For florals, Reece says:

“Don’t be afraid to try a few things! When it comes to flowers, there are two ways you can do it. Sometimes you want to get close, as seeing all of the textures and gradients can be lovely. However, other times you might want to take a step back and see what the flower looks like as a whole.

“Use exposure on the flower so it stands out. If the background seems a bit dark, that’s ok, as you’re only going to be looking at the flower anyway! However, if the background is too bright, it can wash out a lot of the details in the flower.

“Also think about the composure. If you can get a 3 by 3 grid up on your phone or camera, it can really help with lining things up or drawing focus to certain parts of the flower by lining it up in the middle square.”
