Delicate stems of any kind can give a wildflower look if you keep it really paired back and simple.

These dinky bud vases are perfectly suited to holding just a few stems and can be dotted around or grouped together to achieve a lovely wildflower party theme 🥰

Here I chose some dainty, delicate flowers from the garden, grasses and a few foraged wild flowers growing nearby.

Such a lovely idea for a baby girl’s first birthday party don’t you think? 💕

Some ‘end of season’ blooms to see me through a wet weekend ☔️

I rescued these beauties before the wind and rain set in 💨 I decided to create a long asymmetrical design in a low, Constance Spry style vase for my kitchen dresser 😊

Something a little different and fun to make with just some chicken wire to support the stems. Foam free mechanics and easy to apply to any vessel when some extra support is needed 👍

Swipe to see how it’s all held in place. It does a wonderful job of holding up those heavy dahlia heads 😊

Its all in the detail 😍

Little jam jars of flowers are so pretty and useful at weddings 🎊

From table dressing to these adorable steps they bring a whole scheme together and are so quick and easy to make up.

Give them away to friends and family afterwards as a lovely reminder of your special day 🥂

Another lovely floral entrance for the bride and groom at Saint Thomas the Apostle Church at Harty ⛪️

One of the Isle of Sheppey’s hidden gems, nestled in the countryside, it is without electricity giving it a period feel and dates back to the 11th or 12th century.

It was lit by candlelight for our family wedding, which created the most beautiful atmosphere inside 😍

I was honoured to be asked to do the flowers for the church ceremony and the reception which was held at the family’s farm.

They put their trust in me as a novice grower and flower arranger and I thoroughly enjoyed creating each piece without the use of any floral foam, just reusable and sustainable mechanics and my home grown flowers 🥰

The weather was kind to us on the day too ☀️

Massive congratulations to my brother and his new wife, may they be eternally happy together ❤️

My single stem of Tweedia 🩵

I’ll be popping my one and only flowering stem of gorgeous blue Tweedia into my bride’s bouquet next weekend 😊

Tweedia is just the perfect blue flower, beloved by florists and pretty hard to come by so of course, I had to try and grow my own from seed.

I’m actually quite chuffed I managed to see it through to flowering and I’ll be potting it up to bring inside as it’s native to South America so unlikely to survive our winter in the polytunnel.

I have a busy week ahead with wedding preparations but I’m super excited about it and can’t wait to see how it all comes together 🤗

It’s a family affair and the ceremony is at the most gorgeous little chapel 😍

Wish me luck 🤞

These gorgeous, ruby coloured, ball dahlias are my absolute favourite at the moment 😍

Ball type dahlias have the longest vase life out of all the dahlias I grow and these dark red ‘Barbarry D’amour’ ones are just stunning 🤩

Flower of the moment is by far this most beautiful Croma champagne lisianthus.

The ruffles of cream with a tinge of blush are just gorgeous 😍 they last forever on the plant and I’ve had them last two weeks in the vase.

I can’t believe how long they take to bloom but they’ll forever be on my top flowers to grow from now on.

It’ll soon be time to sow them all over again and see if I can get a few more to make it through for next year 🤞

Are these not the most beautiful flowers you ever did see? 😍

It’s so hard to deadhead the Cafe-au-lait dahlias 😩

Far too beautiful for the compost heap!

I’m hoping for a second flush of smaller, more usable stems for an upcoming wedding 👰‍♀️🤵

Thank you so much if you stopped by the flower stand this bank holiday weekend 💐

Time to have a good tidy up in the flower field for the last hurrah of flowers next month!

The Lisianthus are finally making their way into bouquets and what stunners they are 💜

Echo blue are the first to flower after being sown last November and I’m now eagerly awaiting the imminent arrival of Croma champagne and Arena apricot 😍

I wish I had more but I’m so grateful for the few that survived. They’re a labour of love that’s for sure!

Lessons learned for next year are no1, start in a tray and prick them out into cells instead using soil blocks!

Pot on quicker! They grew much faster after each potting on.

Plant out in the tunnel when there are four true leaves 🌱

Regular feeding is essential 👍

Patience is key! They’re soooo slow 😳

Be prepared to lose quite a few 😩
