This charming bouquet reflects the delicate colours seen in “A Girl with a Kitten”, a portrait attributed to French artist Jean-Baptiste Perronneau. Although it may not be Perronneau’s work – the style hints at the possibility of a later imitation – there’s no doubting the innocent beauty of the painting.

Nikki Tibbles, creative director at London’s highly-acclaimed Wild at Heart florist, has based this series of bouquets on the soft blue colours seen in the 18th-century image. Flowers are chosen according to the season, so you’re likely to see hyacinths in early spring, followed by bluebells and then scabious in the summer. You may also enjoy pastel blue mascara flowers, white roses and the bluey lilac lisianthus. Each arrangement is prepared individually, resulting in a unique floral masterpiece.

The blue flowers bouquet can be delivered anywhere in the UK within 24 hours if you place your order before 2pm. It’ll arrive wrapped in blue paper and is tied with blue grosgrain ribbon, making it an ideal birthday bouquet.
