We had a busy weekend of weddings this weekend. And both totally different! This one was a very sleek and simple black and white theme with no foliage……it was lovely to do something a little different. Especially those huge cloud like hydrangea vases! And you wouldn’t believe how long it takes to reflex every single rose we used in the bridal bouquet and bridesmaids.

(Sorry for the lack of posting…..it’s the summer holidays and the juggle is real!)

I know you’re not supposed to have favourites (a bit like your children 🤣 ) but……this is my absolute fav bridal bouquet I’ve ever created. The colours, textures and shapes, I just LOVE it and it was a total joy to make! Also please can we take a minute to appreciate our simply stunning bride Beth……she looked absolutely jaw dropping, that cape and dress!! And maybe now you can see why Beth’s only brief was colour, colour and more colour, go crazy!

Another beauty of a bridal bouquet…..a much neater in style than my usual bouquets, so it was a challenge for me to keep it more contained! Loved these vendela roses…..so pretty!

Also please note our phone line is currently not working…..we are having huge problems trying to get it fixed, so please either email us or message directly……sorry!

It’s been a while! So so sorry for the lack of posting…..we had a fabulous ten days away and then a 48 hours flight cancellation, so straight back from the USA and straight back into busy working weeks with 4 weddings since we got home!

This stunning pink and lemon bridal bouquet was for one of our lovely Brides last weekend……so pretty!

I promise to be better at posting this week!

Thanks for keeping us so busy!

What a beautiful sunny day for Kerrie and Daniel yesterday . We loved creating these colourful and summery florals for them, full of peonies, roses and Sweetpea’s…..so the scent was amazing!

For Hannah and Kelly who married on Monday . A stunning mix of colour, textures, tones, movement and flowers! We are lucky enough to already have some sneak peaks for the pro shots……I’m sure you will agree they are absolutely stunning by !

For Harri and Curt who married this weekend . A pretty mix of spring apricots, lemons, creams and blues. So, so pretty and scented too. What was even more special about this wedding is that I used to babysit for Harri and her brother!! (Now I’m really showing my age!) I hadn’t been back to Harri’s parents house since I last babysat many moons ago, so delivering the bouquets Saturday morning was really lovely!

We’ve had wonderful morning styling one of our fav mantlepieces for our lovely client. Easter/spring mantle complete with an addition of a floor vase to bring the colour down too. We love the blossom and pink tones!

Goodness I don’t even know where to start! A HUGE thank you to everyone who has chosen us this Mother’s Day. Without you we wouldn’t be able to do what we do and I cannot thank everyone enough for your support and choosing to buy local. We think we made over 200
orders between us and boy do our hands and feet feel it but we are soooo grateful. We hope there are a lot of happy Mums out there!

It also goes without saying that I could not do this without my Team…..and what a team they are! Both my parents, my eldest son Charlie (newest recruit, smartest delivery guy in town and probably youngest!) Nicki, Steph and family friends Bob and Carole who help with all your deliveries and keep us all going with endless cups of tea and coffee!

I simply could not do this without them all…..Thank you! A rest day tomorrow and then back to it this week!

Another bright and very cheerful spring wreath headed to its new home! We love making these!

28/02/2024

Spring wreaths are a go! This one went out last week and we have another in the process of being created for tomorrow. We use fresh and dried stems and also plant bulbs into the moss bass, so as some flowers naturally fade, the bulbs push through and take over! One of the many pros of using moss! We make each wreath to order so get in touch if you would love one to brighten your day!

26/02/2024

We love big, bright and beautiful bouquets! This one was an absolute stunner!

25/02/2024
