Tembusu&Twine
Seasonal flowers, tied loose by hand in a small studio on Yong Siak Street. Order by 1 pm and they arrive today.
A note from the studio
Fewer, better flowers, tied with twine
We named the studio after the tembusu, the old tree with the creamy, night-scented flowers you smell before you see, and the plain cotton twine we tie every bouquet with.
Our flowers come in twice a week, from growers in Japan, the Netherlands, Kenya and the Cameron Highlands. We buy what is good that week, not what is easy, and we build each bouquet in the hand, in a spiral, so it stands up on its own and keeps its shape in a vase.
The style is loose and garden-like: stems that move, a bit of air between the heads, greenery that looks like it grew there. If something you want isn't at its best, we'll tell you and suggest something that is.
The studio, Yong Siak Street
We'd rather send five perfect ranunculus than thirty tired roses.
In the studio this week
What came in on Tuesday and what we're putting in bouquets until it runs out. It changes every week, so if you love something here, order soon.
Seeded eucalyptus
AustraliaGrey-green, with little clusters of seed. Smells clean, lasts for weeks.
Lisianthus
Cameron HighlandsWhite and soft lavender. Looks delicate, lasts longer than almost anything.

Final walkthrough
Four weeks before, we fix quantities and swap in whatever is best in season by then.
On the day
We deliver, set up and clear away, so nobody in your family is carrying vases at midnight.
We take on a few weddings a month, so each one gets proper attention. Popular dates in the wedding season go early.

Ordering & delivery
Before 1 pm, it goes out today
Every bouquet leaves the studio wrapped, with a water pouch tied in, so it arrives drinking rather than wilting in the back of a car.
Cut-offs
1 pm
Order by 1 pm, Tuesday to Sunday, and we deliver the same day between 3 pm and 8 pm. Later orders go out the next morning.
The studio is closed on Mondays, so there are no Monday deliveries.
Where we deliver
S$15islandwide
Homes, offices, hospitals and hotel lobbies across Singapore, one flat fee. Collection from the studio is free.
Sentosa or Jurong Island? Tell us in the order and we'll sort out access.
When they arrive
- Trim the stems. Two centimetres off, at an angle, with a clean knife or scissors.
- Fresh water every other day. Cool, clean, and only a few centimetres deep for ranunculus.
- Mind the aircon. Keep them out of direct sun and away from vents blowing on them.
- Not by the fruit bowl. Ripening fruit makes flowers fade faster.
