Buttonholes donā€™t often get their own square on my grid but hereā€™s a selection of a few Iā€™ve made. I usually wire most of the components of my buttonholes as they hold a bit better than not, especially if the weatherā€™s warm.

Theyā€™re usually the last element of your wedding flowers to be made on the day before your wedding. I store them overnight in the fridge in a plastic box lined with wet kitchen roll to keep the flowers hydrated and then add the binding of ribbon or twine on the morning of the wedding. I make them on a bit of a production line: firstly all the wiring, then all the taping (I only use paper tape) and then building the buttonholes. Sometimes theyā€™re all the same and other times theyā€™re all different. Traditionally gentlemen should wear their buttonholes on the left lapel. An easy way to remember this - wear them over your ā¤ļø

Thereā€™s a buttonhole for every kind of groomā€™s attire whether itā€™s a smart suit, morning coat, waistcoat, tweed jacket or linen shirt

šŸŽ‰Happy New Year! šŸŽ‰ I hope you had fun last ringing in the New Year. As promised, hereā€™s part 2 of my 2024 review.

I donā€™t really make New Yearā€™s resolutions but I start January with all good intentions to try catch up on all the household tasks I neglected in December (whilst I was making wreaths!), get stuff mended and fixed, read a book or two, maybe a spot of decorating and of course, the dreaded tax return and other admin. I didnā€™t buy any bulbs at all this year so at least I donā€™t have to plant those. Oh and Iā€™m looking forwards to watching the Traitors! (donā€™t judge me!! šŸ˜†)

Some of the highlights (part 1) of the last few months of 2024, including bouquets for some of my lovely brides. The first picture is lovely Eveā€™s wintery white bouquet from last weekend. Iā€™m wishing E and B lots of love and every happiness for their future together.

Thank you so much to everyone who has bought flowers from my little business this year: whether you were a bride, you bought bakery bunches, bouquets, Christmas wreaths or farewell flowers for a loved one. Your support and kind words are so appreciated.

Special thanks to Steve and the team at , Richard and Katja at and Annabel at and to my flower farmer friends and wholesalers for all the beautiful flowers which I use in my work. Lastly but definitely not least, thank you to my long suffering family who put up with flowers everywhere and on every available surface indoors (when my shed is full) and who support and encourage me every step of the way.

Wishing all my customers and followers alike, a very happy, healthy and peaceful new year and looking forward to the opportunities, weddings - and flowers of 2025

Wreath season is very nearly over! Just mine left to make with all the leftover bits and bobs, which I hope to get around to making tomorrow. Iā€™ve got a couple of final flower deliveries to complete and the obligatory festive supermarket sweep to go and then I think Iā€™m done butā€¦ā€¦ I do have a lovely winter wedding to flower on Saturday and then after that I really am finished for 2024!

Wreath season is finally drawing to a close and I actually got round to making (and sending!) my sisterā€™s Christmas wreath this year and here it is! After 2 weeks of very intensive wreathing and hours spent in my chilly shed, Iā€™ve got just 2 left to do, including mine.

Donā€™t forget there are pretty, festive bunches of flowers and foliage and thereā€™ll be bakery bunches as usual at Upper St Giles Street and the Bakery counter at Marriott Close from tomorrow.

Iā€™ve managed to get some Christmas presents today and Iā€™m looking forward to delivering some flowers to a very dear friend of my Mum sometime over the weekend. So at last Iā€™m beginning to feel a bit festive! All ready for the last little push to the big day! šŸŽ„

Iā€™m finally nearing the end of my Christmas wreath orders now. Just one or two left for friends and family - oh, and mine! Thank you so much to everyone who has ordered this year, both first time and returning customers. Iā€™m so grateful for your continued support.

I can take one or two more orders for bouquets so if youā€™d like flowers for next weekend please get in touch soon. Small bunches of British narcissi and tulips will be available as usual from Bread Source from Friday and Cavick House Farm Cafe from Thursday

The penultimate brideā€™s bouquet of 2024. Last weekend I made this pretty wintery bouquet. Lydia chose white flowers with a touch of the palest blush pink including gorgeous blousy, klooni ranunculus, waxflower, nerines and lush foliages, all tied with dark green ribbons. British flowers are in short supply at this time of year but there were lovely paperwhite and eucalyptus from Cornwall in the bouquet. Wishing L and G loads of love and happiness for the future

Iā€™m still ploughing through all your lovely wreath orders. Thanks so much for keeping me busy! By the end of next week I should be through the majority of orders and I should be able to get to the shops to do some Christmas shopping. I hope thereā€™ll be something left! Every year I say that Iā€™ll shop earlier next yearšŸ¤¦šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø Wish me luck!

Some of this weekā€™s Christmas wreaths. Iā€™m at Christmas Festival at the bakery on Marriott Close today so pop down and say hello.

If I havenā€™t got a wreath in the colours youā€™d like, itā€™s not too late to place an order for delivery so please do ask. All the wreaths are handmade by me on a moss base with a lush mix of British and imported foliages, berries, fir cones and trimmed with a pretty, floaty ribbon. Are you feeling festive yet?

This picture of me was taken at last yearā€™s Christmas Festival at Bread Source. Despite my cheery smile I was absolutely frozen! šŸ„¶ Iā€™m really hoping it wonā€™t be quite as damp and chilly this Saturday. The forecast is reasonably ok so fingers crossed. The Christmas Festival is on from 10.30am - 4pm at the bakery counter on Marriott Close in Norwich.

If you havenā€™t got your Christmas door wreath yet, Iā€™ll be bringing a nice selection for you to choose from. Theyā€™re all different and handmade with loads of lush foliages, trimmed with fir cones and pretty ribbons, so I hope youā€™ll find one to match the colour of your front door.

The team at will be serving all sorts of fabulous festive foods so come on down and say hello! Itā€™ll be a good opportunity to start your foodie Christmas gift shopping and tick off some of your present list āœ…
