This is as close to a showstopper as an arrangement gets. It is big, abundant and densely layered with a mix of flowers, berries, foliage and texture that rewards a closer look.

White real-touch peonies sit at the centre with soft, layered petals that genuinely feel like the real thing. A cream peony joins them with the faintest blush edge, and together they carry the warm, romantic weight of the piece.

White delphiniums rise above with tall, elegant spires of buds at varying stages of bloom, while blue delphiniums sit lower and spill forward with softer cottage-garden colour.

Blueberry sprays arc outward on tall branches, their clusters finished with that distinctive silvery bloom. Blue cornflowers and nigella weave through the middle with fine, meadow-like detail.

Purple allium buds bring a different shape entirely, their rounded heads adding mauve-pink tones that stop the palette from feeling too safe. On the opposite side, a burgundy eucalyptus and dark seed heads introduce contrast and depth.

Lamb's ear softens everything with its velvety silver-grey leaves. A magnolia branch with bark-textured buds gives structure. Green viburnum, bright vivid viburnum, tall eucalyptus and willow eucalyptus fill the foliage base with enough variety in tone and leaf shape to keep the whole thing feeling gathered rather than arranged.

At 100cm tall and 115cm wide, this needs a surface that can give it space. A large hallway console, dining table or living room statement spot. It fills a room without trying.
