It might be today, but the only thing blue here are the flowers. Emma & Simon were certainly unafraid of a little bit of mizzle and were even papped having a quick snog in the iconic Land Rover before heading out into the wilds.

Embracing your day to create those unforgettable moments.

♡ BUTTONHOLES ♡

It's one of my all-time favourite arrangements to make, the buttonhole, and because of this, I often leave the buttonhole making until the very last job.

After buzzing around making meadows, table arrangements, bouquets etc etc, there's nothing more enjoyable than sitting in my den with a steaming brew, my pot of wires and the huge amount of flowers that I always seem to amass!

Think - kid in a sweetshop!!

I do actually begin the flower selection process for buttonholes at the very start, picking out the specific stems that are perfect for wire work, like that tiny rose bud or almost opening orchid or teeny tulip, and then as the rest of the creative process gets underway, I invariably end up with an absolute abundance of short stemmed offerings because I simply cannot - throw - anything - away!

It's this abundance of choice from all this floral treasure that allows me to fully immerse myself in creating buttonholes. These wired, delicate little bouquets that fit snuggly onto a suit lapel are just pure joy.

It's always truly amazing when I receive kind words thanking me for the flowers. Whether it's a DM, a card, or a review, it's genuinely very, very much appreciated.

That said, just like the saying, 'it takes a village to raise a child', it takes a small army of dedicated and talented wedding suppliers to create and achieve your wedding day vision.

From the blowdryers to the lipstick appliers, to the flower fettlers and the music makers, the cake bakers and party places, we all play our part.

But the biggest thanks invariably has to go to the picture snappers!

Not only are they the ones who capture your day, and all the amazing bits and bobs that all the other suppliers do, they then kindly share their beautiful images too - this means I get to see your wedding day, all the bits I wouldn't usually see, and that is such an honour and a privilege.

Three cheers for all the really generous wedding photographers out there for sharing their content, hip hip...

Do all bouquets look good from all angles?

Mine do, as proved when she captured so many delicious images of Ashleigh's bridal bouquet and her lovely bridesmaids posies.

Front, back, side, top - yep, I got a good thing going on!

Your bridal bouquet is potentially one of the most photographed floral arrangements on your big day, so it has to be on point, it has to be your vibe.

Therefore, I select only the highest quality flowers in your chosen colour palette, but I add in the extra surprises you weren't expecting to elevate your bouquet to the next level...and, all my bridal bouquets are always finished with the most sumptuous, floatiest, hand dyed silk ribbons from

♡♡ I DO, OUTDOORS ♡♡

Merewood is blessed with an incredible outdoor space to say your "I do's."

Nestled into the grounds at the front of the house is the perfect paved terraced area, complete with a beautiful ornate metal gazebo just made for floral decoration, and what's more, the most incredible lakeland view over Lake Windermere and the fells all framed by the trees and gardens.

Ashleigh and Jacob were blessed with truly wonderful summer weather for their outdoor ceremony.

Wishing all my friends, followers, past couples, future couples and supplier friends a very Merry Christmas - Plus, a very special shout out to all the hardworking hospitality staff in the amazing venues where I am so lucky to flower weddings at, who will be working so hard over the next few days making Christmas magical for their guests - may your days be merry, bright and filled with laughter (and fizz) over the festive season.

Today is Winter Soltice 2024, the shortest day - and yet, this beautiful late August wedding almost lulls you into thinking it has a cosy winter feel to it.

The golden hour lighting with the beautiful rich palette of pinks, reds and burgundy, coupled with Ashleigh's beautiful twinkling diamantés and sequinned gown, truly feels as though it has hints of a Christmas time wedding.

Such a gorgeous and utterly romantic image by

Let's take a moment for Lara's incredible wedding dress....

A totally authentic, absolutely gorgeous, and a really rather fabulous 'tickled pink' choice.

The embroidery was so stunning and delicate, and the colours and pattern were just so feminine and pretty. Floral branches of beautiful flowers and leaves and kingfisher birds in all shades of pink with a flash of brilliant turquoise.

Lara asked for her flowers to compliment her gown, so using all shades of pink from the palest hint of pink through to a tiny little pop of dark, her bouquet was finished with a beautifully soft baby pink velvet silk ribbon, and the final touch, a gentle waft of turquoise silk which just tied everything together, quite literally!

I loved her choice; it truly was a very special gown and so amazing that she chose her dress to match her beautiful, bubbly and fun personality.

Gosh, what a 28 days it's been! It has been the most physically, emotionally and mentally challenging 4 weeks. I could not have got through it without Mr Q, my man deserves a goddam saint hood. Move over St. Roch, and let St. Paul add patron saint of total knee replacements to his list! I knew it was going to be hard, but as a do-er that rarely stops and is so used to cracking on, during this time I have been absolutely floored. It's been bloody tough, there have been lows and lots of tears, tears of frustration, tears of discomfort and tears of what the f**k have I done, so keeping a positive, mental attitude has been, challenging! Things I was not expecting... I was not expecting my leg to feel like it has, so bloody heavy and as though it no longer belonged to me. It's been like trying to make a piece of lead pipe move like a leg should, nigh on impossible, and because I bled so extensively during surgery, my bruising both internal and external was flipping epic. 4 weeks on and there is still a hint of discolouration. The tiredness, omg, I have never nanna napped so much. I can only presume this is the bodies way of saying, stop, rest, recover. Sleeping in bed hasn't been plain sailing either, waking to turn because you are aching and need to change position turns into a series of what next manoeuvres because honestly, it's like the brain and leg are no longer connected to just do these movements naturally. I was also not expecting my new metal knee to make little noises, just like my old buggered one did, that has freaked me out a bit, but actually turns out it's not uncommon. There's still a long way to go with recovery, but I'm on the right road. The thing I have to keep reminding myself about is to measure progress not in days, but weeks. Daily there seems to be no improvement which feels disheartening, but weekly, you look back and go well I couldn't do that this time last week. It truly is a step at a time, a day at a time. There's no quic

The most beautiful things... Here is just a teeney, tiny little taster snippet of the incredible elopement film taken by the amazing Tiree Dawson Photography for Lara & Darren's elopement wedding Cragwood Country House Hotel in November. Wow, just wow! Tiree includes a beautiful short video to accompany your wedding day photos in her elopement package, and boy, it is worth it. Whenever I get a flower enquiry for an elopement wedding at Cragwood and Tiree is named as the photographer, I always think what a lucky couple you are because your wedding day is going to be pure magic 💫 #elopementwedding #elopementweddingphotography #emotivephotography #elopementweddingflowers #lakedistrictweddingflorist #countryhousewedding #outdoorwedding #sayido #letsgetmarried #thelakeslovestories
