🌟 Top Tip 🌟
Have you ever wondered why it's essential to slit hydrangea stems before arranging them in floral foam? Here’s why! 👇
✨ Better Water Absorption: Hydrangeas are notorious for wilting quickly. Slitting their stems increases the surface area, allowing them to absorb more water, keeping your arrangements fresh and vibrant longer.
✨ Enhanced Stability: When you slit the stems, they anchor more securely in the floral foam. This means your hydrangeas stay in place, maintaining the integrity of your design.
✨ Improved Longevity: By ensuring maximum water uptake, slitting the stems helps your hydrangeas last longer, giving your customers beautiful, enduring arrangements.
Give it a try on your next arrangement and see the difference! 💐

🌿 Happy arranging! 🌿
I am the biggest kid when i buy anything new! There's just something about unboxing new goodies 👌
I bought these to create a faux arch for a recent wedding fayre, I just couldn't resist.....
Here we have:
🤍Lisianthus
🤍Cherry Blossom
🤍Peony
🤍Eucalyptus
Floral archways are such a popular display to have at a wedding and event, but not everyone has the budget to include one, so using faux florals opens up a whole new ballpark and it can be made and installed in advance which can really help with timings on the day!

A perfect blend of tradition and floral artistry! 💐💍

These beauties have been grown from seed this year, kept in the house, in the warm to kick off germination, then transfered to the garden where they have gone crazy!!
I'm going to need longer canes! 🙈 I cannot wait to cut some for the house, and use some in my designs.

Now, a shower bouquet is one of my favourites. That beautiful teardrop shape really does make a statement.
I have chosen a pastel colour scheme for this design.
🤍 Freesias double Versailles are one of my favourites, not only for their appearance but also for that heavenly scent.
🩷 Lisianthus, another of my favourites... this one is Double Apricot.
🩷 The spray rose is Bombastic
🤍 White rose is Rose Alpe D'Huez
🩷 Pink rose is Rose Wedding Rose
🌿 Foliage is Eucalyptus Parvifolia
✂️ I made sure all the flowers and foliage were cut, conditioned, and popped into water overnight before creating this design. It is a very crucial step to take, time-consuming, but has a massive impact on the flowers' longevity.
Please do get in touch for more info or a quote for a shower bouquet for your big day!

Here is one of the silk designs I made for yesterday's show The Suffolk Wedding Show at Venue16
I absolutely love this colour ur pallette 🩷
Silk flowers have definitely improved over the years. There are so many wonderful stems to buy now, which makes my job super exciting!
The design possibilities are endless, I actually got my inspiration from the vase, which I picked up from @therangeuk. From here, I could start to visualise what I wanted to create✨️
It's safe to say I am very happy with the outcome, and the best part is that I can always take the stems out and make a completely new design! Making it completely repurposable and keeps the creative juices flowing 👌
