Dahlia bouquets are here - for the next couple of months I’ll be making these beauties, for delivery within 5 miles of Colchester. Every petal grown by me using organic methods - no air miles, no chemicals, no plastic.

They’ve taken their sweet time, but the dahlias are properly here and looking fabulous. The zinnias are also flowering their socks off, so it’s candy shop colours for the next few weeks! I’ve been busy with lots of beautiful DIY flower buckets, and fielding lots of enquiries for DIY weddings next year - I can’t wait to grow flowers for you all!

Is it me, or is there a breath of autumn in the air? There are field mushrooms popping up all over, and the blackberries and sloes are ready to pick. The colours of the flowers are also starting to shift, and I for one am here for it. This mini DIY flowers bucket was a dream to pull together with zinnias, dahlias, strawflowers, amaranthus and panicum.

I drove away from dropping off yesterday’s wedding flowers with a big smile on my face. These flowers are so happy! I made milk churns for the church (the flowers lift out for transportation to the venue), and low bowls for the tables as well as buttonholes, corsages and of course beautiful bouquets.

I finished today’s pick just as the rain came in but it couldn’t dampen my excitement about this weekend’s glorious wedding. The colour scheme is bright, and the calendulas and zinnias are nailing the brief along with strawflowers and dahlias.

They’re taking their time but I now have a trickle of dahlias which will turn into a flood in a week or two. After a rocky start in the drought, I’ve managed to pull them through with plenty of seaweed feed and TLC.

A tiny snippet of this weekend’s wedding: flowers for the pew ends, in jars so they were repurposed later on. The church was really big, but I was impressed at how much impact these posies could have on making the space feel full of flowers. This would be a fab DIY to do with family and friends, the posies are sweet tied bunches, you can’t really go wrong!

Buckled in for six weeks of juggle. I can’t wait to deliver some gorgeous weddings over the next few weeks, and then I’ll be back with a bang for bouquets and bunches as the late summer flowers kick in (and I’ll have plenty of wholesale availability too). Eventually I’ll also take a little holiday to recharge my batteries for weddings part deux in the autumn. Let’s gooooooooo!

It was my very great pleasure to make these buttonholes for a micro wedding last week. Blue and white with hints of purple, and a cheeky nod to Ipswich Town for the bride and groom.

There’s rain in the forecast (everybody hold your breath) so I cut a few buckets of statice today for drying. It’s a real bee magnet and I love that you can hear them walking around on the crinkly petals.
