Whilst it’s true the majority of our work is with fresh flowers we do sometimes get asked for something different and this wedding of predominantly dried and preserved materials made a lovely change. The textures worked so well together and I particularly loved making these unique little seed head buttonholes.
We are always happy to consider creative dried alternatives so never be afraid to ask if you have an idea, we will help if we can.

Let’s show some appreciation for the humble staircase. Not only a wonderful floral decoration opportunity but a perfect place to pause, take stock and take deep breath before you begin the walk to your new life.
Many a stunning wedding photograph has been captured on the stairs, so if your venue has a staircase maybe consider adding it to your wish list for flowers, especially if you want some truly special, memorable images.
Speak to your florist for advice and prices as no two will be the same.

Well outside might have been miserable but I had such a warm and friendly day wedding open day today. Lots of lovely people to talk to, couples, suppliers and staff. It’s the first one for me there so a newby, but I was made so welcome by everyone and already looking forward to the next one and becoming a part of their lovely team of suppliers. Also looking forward to catching up again with some of the lovely couples I spoke to as they embark on their wedding planning across 2025 and 2026.

Just wanted to give a warm welcome to new followers this month of which there have been many! Lovely to have you along with us, it’s a quieter month for weddings but still lots of work going on behind the scenes, and I must try to post more often to share it.
Today is a particularly good day as it looks like my emails are finally back up and running again so we are back to business as usual. If you email now then you should get through! All in all a very Happy Thursday!!

Thought I’d better drop a quick post to let anyone know that needs to know, that we have been having technical issues and as such emails are not getting through to me today and neither can I email out. I have bods on the job and have everything crossed that it will all be reconnected very soon but I am so sorry if you are experiencing trouble getting through to me or are expecting to hear from me. It’s all jolly annoying but am keeping very patient and still smiling as I know it will be fixed soon 🤞🤞🤯
Just very grateful it’s not in the middle of wedding season, eeeek!

Stunning pictures sent to me from a lovely couple married just a few short months ago
It’s always a thrill to receive images…

I love to see the results of everything we planned and discussed and see how it came together with dresses, suits etc (remember we are usually gone at this point in the day)
I love to see the smiles on the faces of the couple I have worked with and see them enjoying their special day at last, that’s what I do it for.
And for the memories it brings back for us from the meetings the planning and the putting it all together.
I do keep a record of everyone of them.

It may seem perhaps that we are just interested in the flowers but we really do invest so much more in each wedding and each couple than just our floristry skills.
Any of my last years couples that want to, please do send me links to your pictures if you haven’t done so as I always love to see them!

And thank you so much to D and T for thinking of me!

Hoping you all had a lovely Christmas with a few days break spent with family or friends.
The trouble with a few days off is that it takes a while to get going again and in posting this I am really procrastinating, trying to find anything to do other than tidying my workshop up in preparation for the last wedding of the year…. Just a small and a fun one so won’t really feel like work 😃
Can put off no longer, have a coffee in hand and thermals on…have a lovely twixtmas weekend!

The year is drawing to a close and I have finally finished the last wedding before Christmas, this festive wedding was but very soon there will be an opportunity to pop my feet up and I can’t wait!

In the spare time I thought I might have in the winter (what was I actually thinking?) I have taken on a just a few hours of private care to give a little back and naturally also found myself happily adding to my workload by making little home made floral treats for a few extra people this year, in need of some extra Christmas cheer.

I hadn’t intended December to end up quite this crazy with an eclectic mix for me of workshops, weddings, drumming gigs and care but I do seem to have a knack of filling every hour I’m given. I have now come to the conclusion that maybe this is my way of keeping in my happy place!

We still have a couple of weddings before we end 2024 in the traditional Christmas colours of course, looking forward to these ones!
I have had email issues this week and I think I am getting back on track now but if you haven’t heard from me but were expecting to please give me a nudge, hoping nothing got lost in the mess.
Appointments are about to go on hold until the new year but please get in touch if you need anything before then.

Wow! what a fabulous weekend spent teaching wreath making workshops to some wonderful, fun and talented ladies. Super impressed by their achievements every one of them produced door wreaths to be really proud of! And a beautiful countryside setting too.

We seem to be developing a reputation.

It appears that many couples are getting in touch to book with us because of the number of joyful, bright colour combinations of flowers that we put together for some of weddings. Colour is in right now for weddings and we embrace it! Colour is fun and it can breathe life and personality into a big event, and we have recently had so many lovely compliments about what we do.

To be clear, we obviously love all flowers whatever their colour or persuasion and every wedding is unique and beautiful but it’s exciting be getting such positive feedback on some of our more vibrant work.

Really looking forward to some stunners next year.

Monday morning again! These weeks are zooming by at the moment, starting to think about Christmas but not quite ready to let the wedding season go. Last weeks’ lovely wedding keeping me going!
We know the trend for faux but don’t write off the best flowers for your wedding, they may not be as pricey as you imagine, fresh is so much better for our precious environment as they naturally compost and you really really can’t beat the fragrance and natural beauty of flowers on your wedding tables. We have some lovely simple packages to help with budgeting too.
Books still open for 2025 if you’re thinking about dressing your venue with fresh flowers for your wedding day.

How about this for a novel cake idea?
This amazing bespoke creation was made for a lovely couple who had subtly used a play on names ‘birds and bees’ throughout the wedding. The hexagon represents honey comb and the beautiful cake jars were created as a way to transport the cake all the way from the Channel Islands, to in Kent, such a creative and imaginative idea. The whole wedding was full of beautiful personal touches, and very special to be part of.

Am clearing the final remenants of house and Workshop this week in our big move, so if I’m a bit quiet it’s because there’s literally no time in my days right now, hoping for some peace next week to settle into some kind of routine. Also no Wi-Fi right yet so feel a little disjointed and one of the cats has taken the move badly and crying constantly so also really hoping he will also settle soon 😬
Picture of happy flowers from last weeks beautiful wedding to keep me upbeat and positive 😄 onwards and upwards.
