A Curious Arrangement

30/06/2025

Juxtaposition is the word which springs to mind when viewing the gallery from last weeks creative collaboration. Extraordinary flowers, gowns and people in ordinary spaces or places which are overlooked. Possibly not creative locations - nothing could be further from the truth. Bursting with imagination and potential all of these cultural landmarks provided a perfect backdrop for experimentation and thinking outside the box.

Bridal inspiration is typically dreamy and romantic, luxurious and well groomed. But what if we take sculptural, one-of-a-kind gowns —dripping in drama and art—and dropped them right into the most unexpected of places: a working man’s club that doesn’t seem to have changed in decades. Woodchip on the walls, striped velvet banquettes, and the haunting aroma of nostalgia. The Korg keyboard set up for karaoke … not couture. The juxtaposition isn’t as challenging to the eye as perhaps we originally thought.

Every ruffle, curve, and beaded detail stood in defiance of its surroundings—like high fashion crashing bingo night. Eyes down for a full house.

And the flowers? We went rogue with blooms that don’t usually make the bridal cut—odd, textured, maybe even a little misunderstood. But totally mesmerizing in their own way. Bladderwort, garlic, anthuriums, mollis and callas, all of which provoke strong opinions when mentioned in a bridal context

We had a weird, wonderful, wildly beautiful day and the images reflect exactly what we set out to create.

A fairytale wedding, but make it dark and mysterious with flowers the colour of an opulent Barolo. Marissa wore a diaphanous gown delicate enough to be stitched from shadow and silk when she married Alex at Borthwick Castle under a sky the colour of spilled ink with the wind whipping around the ancient keep.

Vows in velvet sealed in candlelight and wine-dark roses, beneath castellations tall enough to draw hallelujah’s from the sky.

All the froth and texture. Armfuls of beauty and silk ribbons fluttering in the breeze. Litha. The longest day.

This grand hall with its vaulted ceiling and, without question the best fireplace in any Scottish castle fills our heart with joy when we have the opportunity to decorate it. Whether the wedding party is large or small, the energy is always spine tingling when people celebrate their love here as Marissa and Alex did earlier this year.

Happy Anniversary, Allisons!

Let there be spaces in your togetherness, And let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other’s cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. Give your hearts, but not into each other’s keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together, yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other’s shadow.

Khalil Gibran, The Prophet

Dearest souls,

It’s been a minute, but don’t let that trouble you. Posts become sporadic in busy periods but we’re still here, with hearts full of blooms and hands steeped in flowers, we are continually reborn in scent, colour, and creation, devoted to weaving beauty from nature’s softest whispers.
Each stem, every bouquet is a love letter-told in peony blushes, rose sighs, and the delicate murmur of sweet peas. Our world is one where blossoms speak, and their stories are made to linger in your heart long after the petals fall.
Whether it’s a tender bouquet for a fleeting moment, or a grand installation for a memory eternal- we are here to turn flowers into feelings. It’s a busy wedding season, joyous and frothy. We’re planning classes for autumn too. You can sign up on our website for the newsletter.
Let us meet again among the roses...
With love and lilac-dusted dreams…
