A wee hello from Chile ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฑ

Many of you will know that I have relocated to the Southern Edge of the World but some of you won't have heard the news and I thought I better post a quick update.

I've temporarily closed The Blue Petal as we've moved to Santiago with my husband's job for a few years but when we do return to Yorkshire I hope to get back to creating wedding flowers.

In the meantime I'll be keeping up to date with all the goings on in the world of floristry and I'll be checking out all the beautiful creations of my fellow wedding florists.

If anyone is getting married and needs some advice or recommendations I can still be contacted by email at [email protected].

Thanks for all your support over the years.

Best wishes

"The beauty of flowers is forever captured in the way floral designers make them part of our life's memories"๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒท๐ŸŒพ

I love this quote by Idalina Bertone as it sums up beautifully what we wedding florists do when we work on special events.

๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’™๐ŸŒฟ SOMETHING BLUE ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’™๐ŸŒฟ

The 'something blue' tradition comes from the old English rhyme 'Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, a sixpence in her shoe'.

If you would like to include this classic wedding tradition but don't want to go over the top, then adding a few barely blue flowers to your table centres is a nice subtle way of having 'something blue'.

For more advice on wedding flowers & styling, please email me at [email protected].

TOP TIP TUESDAY - TOP TABLE WEDDING STYLING

If your wedding top table is a long wide oval table like the one at Laura & Ryan's summer wedding, a wide fresh floral runner of mixed flowers in clusters of glass bottles and bud vases of different heights and shapes is a great choice of wedding table decoration for this style of top table.

Here at The Blue Petal we have a large selection of gorgeous glass bottles, bud vases, tea light holders that you can hire to style the reception tables at your wedding venue. For more information please email me at [email protected].

Best wishes,

LAST MINUTE WEDDING FLOWERS

Here's a little peek at Helene's wedding bouquet from a few weeks ago. It contained a gorgeous mixture of roses, freesia, tulips, astrantia, lisianthus, carnations, gypsophila and eucalyptus.

It's not often I get 2 days notice (on a Sunday morning) to create wedding flowers but it was 2 good friends who were having a low key secret wedding. Aren't they lucky to have me as a friend? ๐Ÿ˜‡

DID YOU KNOW? ๐Ÿค”

The Kangaroo Paw plant gets its name from its tubular flowers which are often red in colour, feel furry and are shaped just like a kangaroo's paw, hence the name.

It's a great filler flower to add a touch of quirkiness to your wedding and it always creates a talking point.

LESS IS MORE ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’›๐ŸŒฟ

A minimalist wedding focuses on the principle 'less is more' and as Gail Lynne Goodwin once said 'there is beauty in simplicity.'

If you are in the process of planning your minimalist wedding and need some help with your wedding flowers or styling, then please get in touch by emailing me at [email protected] so we can arrange a wedding chat.

NEW BEGINNINGS ๐Ÿฅ‚๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ’•

Happy new year, I hope you all had a chance to rest and recharge your batteries over the festive period. And most of all I hope all my 2021 brides and grooms enjoyed their first Christmas as married couples.

It's now time to start planning 2022 weddings and it won't be long until our 2022 couples get their chance to pose for the perfect confetti shot (image courtesy of Darryl Brooks Photography).

Wishing you all a safe and healthy weekend.

No, it's not the famous diva from The Muppet Show, it's the gorgeous Miss Piggy rose.

With her delicate two tone petals in shades of coral pink and peach, she was the perfect rose for Laura & Ryan's colourful summer wedding in Yorkshire ๐Ÿฅ‚.

She's a beauty, don't you agree?

Today's Friday flower fix is one of my classic round bouquets captured in this gorgeous photo of Rob and Rosie by DJM Photography ๐Ÿ’–. Rosie's beautiful ivory and blush pink bouquet featured a mixture of duchesse de nemours peonies, white avalanche roses, sweet avalanche roses, mylenna roses and alpe d'huez roses and according to the bride it smelled amazing!

If only photos could capture the sweet scent of peonies, now that would be magic ๐Ÿ˜Š.

Happy Friday everyone!
