Providing stylish flowers, beautifully presented in Rugby, Warwickshire. Del Thank you, Sarah
(49)

Please call me on 07910 746979, I offer a select colour palette each week, so you get a gorgeous mix of flowers designed beautifully. I don't always have every colour in stock, so please give me a few days notice if there is a particular flower or colour you would like me to include! I can take card payments over the phone or I can send you a link to pay online. I always deliver every creation mys

elf by hand, so if you don't get a reply straight away, its possibly that I'm out delivering or have my hands full of flowers, so please leave me a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can!

September is here, somehow it feels like I have got through a long hot summer, but it wasn’t very long and it wasn’t very hot! The early summery months of May and June were disappointing with the weather, but I don’t like to complain as my flowers prefer cool temperatures, there’s nothing more stressful than getting a flower delivery for it to sit in hot temperatures and worry that the flowers will all be past their best by the wedding morning.

With September the weather is normally dry, I have a month of weddings, the colours are turning to more autumnal shades, mornings are bright but crisp, my sock drawer is opened after being shut all summer, boots are pulled out and the A/C will be switched off in my van!

Please stick around for more flowery posts, I do appreciate all your likes & comments. I love my little business, and I have made so many wonderful friends through it.

Some days are quiet in my workroom, just me and Radio 2 (I love Vernon, but Jeremy Vine can be annoying!) I’ll have my head down, creating the many arrangements for a wedding the next day, but it’s nice to see the kind interaction on my socials. I probably get more on Insta than I do on Facebook, but to be honest it’s like an old friend, I can’t give up on FB! I always chat on LinkedIn too, but that feels like I’m chatting to a brick walk, it’s tough over there! Please pop over there and give me a little support!

Anyway, today will be mostly ironing new school uniform, with fresh stock arriving on Tuesday for my next wedding.

See you all soon, love Sarah 🍁🍂

Yesterday I was at Bourton Hall Wedding Venue, with a beautiful mix of white reflexed roses for the bridal bouquet, and the bridesmaids flowers included a lovely bright pink swirly garden rose.

The chapel had meadow flowers which were then going to sit at the base of the stairs after the ceremony.

The sun was shining, the guests were arriving, it looked to be a great day!

It’s a long one, you might want to get a cuppa!!

Wedding couples will often ask for a consultation, and ask what flowers I will use. If your wedding is next year rather than next month, it’s tricky to say exactly what will be sent to market by the growers on that certain date. Peonies had a very short season this year due to the high rainfall, so I don’t promise anything. You will have to trust the process, I will buy flowers that bring me JOY in your colour choices and create something GORGEOUS! 💕

I don’t do samples, please don’t ask, apart from the expense, I would have to buy so many stems as they are often sold in 50’s and more and then only use a few, and also creating something in September for a June wedding isn’t going to work, the varieties available now are not going to be the same as next summer.

I also can’t make the same thing twice, floristry isn’t paint by numbers, it’s done by love rather than anything else. You can send me inspiration photos, but I and other florists would not be able to replicate it 100%, it’s like copying someone else’s signature, it’s not going to be the same! Similar, but not the same.

But if you like my work then you will love your bouquet, as a florist we all use the same stock, but we can all create something very different, think of the programme, ‘bake-off’ some bake fabulous, others create a mess, even though all the same ingredients were used. It’s exactly the same!

One last thing, if you have got this far, I will never paint/dye your wedding flowers, go and do one.. flowers are pretty enough without dunking them in dye! 😢

Thats it! All I need is your flower vision, and your colours and I will do the rest!

PS. When sending me inspiration pics, don’t start with Etsy, they are all silks, the colours are totally different to fresh, the look and feel will be also different.. just saying!!

Love Sarah 😘

A bit of rain on Saturday morning didn’t stop the sheer joy of creating a little bit of summer with pinks, peaches, oranges and a little blue for a fabulous marquee wedding at Rugby School Enterprises.

Whites, whites and just a little more for my wedding on Tuesday. The bridal bouquet was filled with seasonal blooms, that was so light & airy and had a floppy, bouncy feel!

The same flowers were then used for the ceremony, guest tables and cake!

A blue hydrangea wedding at Bourton Hall Wedding Venue.

The Chapel looked so pretty with sky blue chair sashes together with the gorgeousness of the meadow style flowers & ceremony flowers.

Yes please...these would look perfect with light blue delphniums, and a paler pink rose, maybe coral, with a little peach. Just let me know!

Bridesmaids could wear light blue, pale coral, or even sage green. You don't have to be matchy-matchy with your colours, don't just stick to one colour, bring in a few shades, it will look soooo pretty!

I’m having a little holiday from weddings, it’s the school summer holidays, recharging and resting, but I’m back with weddings next month.

I’m still working my way through wedding quotes, one thing though.. when you are contacting wedding florists, please start at the same point with each florist, allowing them to explain their style and vision.

You may be tempted to shop around using another quote, but you cannot compare each florist offering the same, we may all work with the same stock, but it may be like comparing the difference of eating out at McDonalds to the Dorchester!

Have a budget, but be a little flexible, most couples need guidance on flowers and cost, and I can suggest ideas to get the most for money.

This is one of my favourites so far this year, Bourton Hall Wedding Venue and it’s fabulous staircase and an epic floral installation, I then had to glide up that staircase with the bridal bouquet and bridesmaid flowers! That felt very good!

Soft pale pinks, creams and whites at Bourton Hall Wedding Venue on Saturday.

There was a mix of high and low floral arrangements on the guest tables, using my gold high risers on the larger tables and Bourton Hall’s gold mottled hurricane vases on the other tables, which were surrounded by a floral ring. There were also Bourton Hall’s bird cages which I provided bud vases to sit around them.

The 4 tier cake by Cakes Fabulous Cakes had a large floral hoop to frame the cake.

Stats for the week:

3 weddings in 4 days (too hot on some days!)

915 flower stems and hundreds of foliage stems too! (That’s a big flower bill!)

8 bridesmaid bouquets

Met make up & hair ladies, cakers, venue staff, LOVE letters guy (twice this week!) photographers, videographer and two wedding dogs! 🐕🐕

It’s been a fabulous week, but I’m to tired to move, talk and do anything else!

A visit to The Barns at Hunsbury Hill in Northampton on Thursday for the wedding of Kelly & Anthony, a rustic vibe with milk churns, mini churns for the table decorations, (sorry no pics of those, as the ceremony space is used afterwards for dining) and a wooden crate for the ceremony table.

Oh my gosh it’s been a hot few days, it’s been a bit of a worry with my flowers, but yesterday’s wedding at Ashton Lodge Country House where I provided a summery mix of dusky pinks for a bridal bouquet, bridesmaids, buttonholes and welcome flowers, they all looked perfect.

Don’t pop your flowers on a sunny windowsill, I know it looks pretty, but they will cook in this heat.

Place in a shady room, or in a cool hallway, they will last much longer.

Keep an eye on the water level too, don’t go and throw pennies, lemonade or sugar in the water, I don’t need to hear any of that nonsense, clean water is just fine!

Chiffon blush pink roses… I like buying different varieties for my wedding couples, and these are just the softest shade of blush.

These are straight out of the packaging, give them a few days and they will have opened a little more to show off their swirly-twirly beauty!
