Hello hello
Yes I know I haven't been posting and updating as much as I should but you know works and life is full on and upscaling to a much bigger site (just under 3 acres) and working the exsisting site takes all my time and efforts ontop of day to day running of my business and floristry too. It's been a fabulous summer filled with gorgeous weddings and events which I'll share eventually.
BUT
For now here's some fabulous news... you will now see my flowers in Brocksbushes Farm Shop how amazing is that!
There will be a lovely selection of flowers in bunches available with deliveries fresh every Friday morning.
The flowers will be selected, cut and bunched on a Thursday - you cannot get fresher than that!.
At the moment in the shop there are dahlias, alstroemeria- my personal favourite flower to have in the house as they are super lonnnng lasting, mixed cosmos, autumnal rudbeckias, statice - perfect to allow to dry and everlasting, pale lemon sunflowers too.
I popped in just moments ago on my way back to my flower farm after a morning delivering wedding and event flowers and I am thrilled to say they ARE selling!
So pop in check out the new building it's amazing, and buy a bunch of flowers from your favourite flower farmer!

I am so grateful to get to do what I do, I get to create beautiful unforgettable wedding flowers for fabulous couples in some pretty fabulous venues.
Today was no exceptional
Venue: The Beaumont Hexham in the Sele Room overlooking the park with huge sash windows.
Images: by me but am sure @Diane Makepeace Photography will come up trumps with some stunning images later!
Florals and styling: Northumbrian Flowers ❤️
Special mention to the brilliant team at The Beaumont because this morning wasn't as straightforward as usual when (I think it was me but they were so lovely and said it happens a lot) the lift got stuck with ALL the flowers in it and me kinda putting a damage limitation plan into place......but it all worked out and they were all super helpful 😀 a brilliant team.
Christmas door wreaths made by you with me are definitely something to be proud of and hold them up high!!
We listened to your feedback from last year and added a couple of extra sessions.....especially a Saturday session....yes!
To snap up your seat and grab yourself a few hours of joyous 'me time' with me 😁 and the fabulous team Blackfriars Restaurant making your glorious door wreath for this winter and enjoy a delicious festive 3 course meal with all the trimmings just click the link to view the last remaining availability.

Hello October......and here's a little snippet from inside the new shop Jules Fleur situated on the west side of Tynemouth Metro Station, in the sidings along with a great selection of unique shops. Those gorgeous boughs of golden crab apples are from my home plot, i planted bare root whips 6 years ago and now they are just full of golden crab apples!
Julia buys my flowers in weekly for her shop, we have a connection, probably crossed paths over the decades and after following each other for what seems like a life on insta and fb we're now friends, she's a great florist, intelligent, funny and has made a fabulous business for herself through hard work and never giving up on the dream of being a flower shopkeeper and her shop is just refreshing and lovely. So if you're coast based and when you want locally grown planet friendly flowers then give her a call and she'll make sure you get the freshest naturally grown flowers from me in Northumberland.

The prettiest white and touch of blues British flowers bouquet for Alex who married her beau Oliver yesterday at Le Petit Chateau in Otterburn, Northumberland.
Perfect weather for a wedding!
Alex and Oliver chose my 3B's service which is where I provide the bouquets and buttonholes (and any other technical arrangements) and buckets of flowers for you to create your own arrangements.
It is a very cost effective way to save money on what is already an expensive day but also a fabulous way to have a 'break the ice' time with family members who haven't met yet and gather round a table and make fill pretty bud vases with my own grown flowers.
This service is only available using my own grown and British flowers from April through to September.
If you are getting married between those months and have a creative side and want to have plastic free and be sustainable then this service is perfect for you so do get in touch and ask me about how it works and availability!
Watch to the end for the obligatory bouquet shake 😘 yep it's a 'thing' apparently to give the bouquet a little wobble shake 🤦♀️😂🙏
Only the Pittosporum in this bouquet is bought in everything else I have picked from my flower field 24hrs before the wedding.
