As a Singapore-based florist, we specialise in dried and preserved flowers that combine elegance with sustainability, providing the perfect way to give thoughtful and lasting gifts this festive season.
The Significance of Floral Gifting for Chinese New Year
Flowers have long held a special place in Chinese New Year celebrations, symbolising growth, renewal, and good luck for the year ahead. In Chinese culture, each flower has its own meaning, making them ideal for conveying well-wishes, especially during such an auspicious occasion. With dried and preserved flowers, we bring these traditional values into a sustainable and modern format that allows each bloom’s beauty to last well beyond the season.

For this Year of the Snake, which symbolises wisdom, charm, and intuition, consider gifting flowers that align with these themes and carry positive energy.
Orchids – Orchids symbolise prosperity, refinement, and beauty. Their intricate shapes and elegance make them ideal for expressing admiration and wishes for abundance. Preserved orchids maintain their intricate beauty, symbolising enduring good fortune.
