Kelly Hoppen’s partnership with Marks & Spencer is ever-growing – and as of this week, their collaboration also includes a special bouquet created by Kelly exclusively for M&S.
In keeping with the celebrated interior designer’s well-known minimalist and elegant style, the M&S x Kelly Hoppen bouquet is naturally also super sophisticated, featuring one of Kelly’s favourite flowers – calla lilies.
Kelly’s love for flowers and adorning interiors with cut blooms is well-known – that’s why whenever she shares a flower styling hack, everybody listens. Her passion for cut flowers is also apparent through the inclusion of several vase designs in both of the M&S x Kelly Hoppen homeware collection drops – the large scallop edge vase being my personal favourite.
This is how your bouquet of Kelly Hoppen calla lilies will be delivered - in a beautiful M&S Flower Market box and with a tissue paper wrap. And if you need a bouquet for a special occasion asap, M&S offers next-day delivery.
Available exclusively online, selling for £50, the bouquet is made of 16 calla lilies and eucalyptus foliage. ‘I’ve always been drawn to the striking simplicity of calla lilies – they’re timeless, elegant and architectural, with their smooth, velvety petals and sculptural shape,’ Kelly says. ‘For my debut bouquet with M&S, I wanted to include one of my all-time favourite flowers. The calla lily’s refined beauty and long-lasting vase life make it the perfect centrepiece for a truly sophisticated arrangement.’
In fact, upon visiting WOW!house, a design event held at the Chelsea Design Centre this May, there was a space designed by Kelly Hoppen – and it featured a vase of beautiful dark purple calla lilies, like these midnight calla lilies from Flowerbx, in true Kelly fashion.
This is only the first of all the bouquets that are to come from Kelly’s collaboration with M&S. The Marks & Spencer flower section saw a huge rebrand at the beginning of the year, relaunching as Flower Market at M&S. This new elevated look has positioned M&S flowers on par with dedicated florist brands, rather than just any old supermarket flowers.
What to pair Kelly’s bouquet with
Used for much of the official imagery surrounding the bouquet launch, this chic curved vase goes perfectly with the calla lilies.
If you really want the white of the flowers to pop then going for a black vase will create a more dramatic impact. This one from Kelly Hoppen's first M&S homeware range will get the job done.
On the other hand, if you really want the bouquet to shine and the vase to almost disappear into the background, a clear glass style like this one is ideal as it still brings a level of style with its angular shape.
More newness from Flower Market at M&S
Apart from her calla lily bouquet, Kelly Hoppen’s collaboration with Flower Market at M&S also includes a beautifully architectural white orchid, sold in a bobbin-trim white ceramic pot for £55. So if you want a piece of Kelly Hoppen-approved floral decor in your home but prefer lasting plants to cut flowers, you can opt for the potted orchid instead.
Keeping with the pared-back white colour scheme in Kelly's signature style, the white orchid is further elevated by a stylish white ceramic pot.
But Kelly is also not the only notable celebrity that M&S has partnered with to design a flower bouquet with. The iconic Dame Joan Collins bouquet, retailing for £45, is also available to buy online now, created in partnership with the actress who is also one of Marks & Spencer’s ambassadors.
Boasting a more traditional yet glamorous aesthetic, the bouquet features all white blooms – specifically white roses, lilies and freesias, paired with laurel and eucalyptus leaves.
I don’t know about you, but I’m in the mood for some flower arranging now!
