Our three week trip to Canada is almost over as we wait for our connecting flight from Amsterdam to Manchester. We've had such an amazing time and lots of memories have been made.

We've six weddings still to flower before Christmas, 12 Christmas wreath classes with more to be confirmed, two Christmas markets, a supplier open day at and the Lancashire wedding Fayre with at . We also have four workshops at and weekly table flowers for the to deliver, not to mention lots of new quotes and mood boards for all the newly engaged couples.

We've been quiet lately as we finalise plans for a couple of weddings and prepare for our family holiday to Canada. The suitcases are now packed and I can't help but worry about the sudden warmer spell and if my plants will be ok! Also spent the last few weeks planning Christmas which will be here before we know it but we'll wait until we are back to tell you about that! So much to be excited about ###

Life is peachy!

We’ve always been a big fan of a peachy moment! Whether it’s adding peach to an all white and cream wedding or including it in a pastel palette!

Here’s a few ways we’ve used Pantone’s 2024 colour of the year ’Peach Fuzz’ in some of our weddings this year.

Walking down the aisle as you prepare to say 'I Do' to the love of your life and begin a new chapter will undoubtedly be a nervous experience for any bride.

Whether you are marrying indoors or outdoors, at a church or other venue, aisle decorations can enhance the space and offer a calming focal point.

Our couple this weekend chose a 12 foot moongate and meadows lined the aisle. Other options include pew end decorations, vase arrangements supplemented with candles or petals and focus points could feature urns, floral columns or table arrangements to suit any theme or colour scheme.

There is there something magical about working with flowers and there is simply no occasion where flowers can’t convey a message; be it “I love you”, “I’m sorry”, “congratulations”, “you’re amazing” or “thinking of you”.
