Petals, plates and poppies: A New Year’s brunch with your tribe

It’s been quite the journey — from the days of our childhood, when we adored everything floral. Those soft, colorful patterns were a part of our world, decorating our playrooms, our clothes, and even our imaginations. As kids, we embraced the whimsy of florals, finding joy in their delicate beauty. Then came our teenage years, when we started to reject everything that felt ‘too feminine.’ Suddenly, pastels and floral prints felt childish, something to be avoided. We gravitated toward bolder, more ‘mature’ styles, convinced that florals were a thing of the past, a symbol of softness we no longer wanted to be associated with.

But as we’ve grown, we’ve come to realize that embracing our feminine side doesn’t mean being weak — it means being strong, powerful, and unapologetically ourselves. This New Year, let’s gather with our girl tribe and reclaim those soft colours and floral patterns. At A+D, we’ve curated a list of seven perfect picks for your floral-themed table.

1) Blue Floral Wine Glass by Weaving Homes
