Blue flowers 💙

True blue flowers are quite hard to come by, especially at this time of year.

My go to is blue statice and Ageratum, these two have the longest vase life, they literally dry in the vase 😊

Other favourites include didiscus, salvia, cornflowers, forget-me-nots and nigella.

What’s your favourite blue flower?

It’s that time of year when flower farmers are looking ahead to next year. Planning and planting, reflecting on what worked well this year and what not to grow next year.

This was my first time growing tall, bright orange marigolds and I loved them, but they didn’t quite fit with my ‘country garden’ style bouquets 💐

Instead, I saved them for bright and cheery flower stand bunches. 🧡💜💚💛🩷

I think they’ll be off my growing list for next year!

What do you all think of them?

A simple but effective colour combination 😍

These Costa apricot snapdragons have taken on a more yellow tone for their second flush.

Loving them with a fresh, zingy lime and white vibe 💛💚

Dried flowers are a great idea for wedding decorations 💍

From bouquets to church flowers, table arrangements, cake toppers and wedding favours, they can all be made ahead of time, taking the stress away from getting everything ready just before the big day 👰‍♀️🤵

Getting everyone involved in creating them is always helpful and a lovely way to make it a real family affair.

These lovely pew end posies were a joy to make 😊

These pale ‘white lite’ sunflowers are just perfect for a summer bouquet 😍

Sunflowers scream late summer sunshine and are usually a very bright and cheery flower as we head into a more autumnal palette later in the season 🌻

These paler, specialty varieties have my heart though 💛

Lavender blue dilly dilly 💜

Happy, smiley sunflowers 🌻

My first sunflowers are blooming 😊 and they’re not any old sunflowers!

These are specialty sunflowers, pollen less and better for bouquets because they face upwards and not sideways which can make them difficult to work with.

The perfect harvest stage is just as the petals are starting to lift up, before the bees and bugs can get to them because they love them too 🐝

They’ll open perfectly in the vase and give you the longest time to enjoy their happy, smiley faces 😃

Pop me a 🌻in the comments if you love a sunny too!

What a wonderfully relaxed wedding photo 😍

Amy wished for beautiful, relaxed, garden style flowers for her big day and it was my absolute pleasure to create these hand tie bouquets for her and her maids😊

June can be a tricky month for flowers but luckily the roses and peonies were still blooming so they took pride of place along with fragrant stock, geum and daisies 💐

Thank you to my lovely, local bride for these wonderful photos 🥰

A country garden bouquet 💐

Full of deliciousness, including fragrant stocks and Canterbury bells 💜

Have a lovely weekend X

I’m loving this gorgeous combo of koko loco and chandos beauty roses 🤎

These are first year plantings so just a few blooms but I’m totally smitten and they’re fading away beautifully 😍

Do you grow koko? I think they need a companion to set them off don’t you?

Seasonal, natural, English country garden flowers for a lovely, local wedding 💍
