This weather is minus craic but making and creating away in the background is my happy place and so is keeping me going. I am like a big bear craving hibernation now and hot comfort food 😁. So as a break from christmas wreaths , I wanted to create something different and I really wanted to create a big statement dried flower bouquet so I could use my dried teasel and this tall lovely curly willow and here it is. This is a fully dried arrangement so will last for months ! What do you think ?
Ps. The last day for ordering for Christmas is the 10th December.
Thanks so much to everyone who has ordered from me so far ♥️ all wreaths will be sent out over the coming week.
Do wreaths and Christmas decorations your own way. Wreaths and decor do not have to be traditional. There are no rules. If you are doing your own DIY wreath this year, don't be afraid to try adding big bold colour on your designs. Ribbon is the easiest way to add colour but of course you can add lots of different colour accessories too. There are so many creative and easy ways to make your own accessories. If you want to be a little creative and a bit more eco friendly with your decorations this year, why not create your own colour with some ideas from this fab account @sibster. This account has so many amazing ideas using materials you already might have at home.
Why not give DIY a go? 😀

First Christmas wreath workshop today @coppenagh_house_farm although I still can't believe it's almost Christmas ! I even wore a Christmas jumper ! Spent a lovely day beside their cozy fire with lovely people. With a mix of lovely foliage from Wicklow foliage farm, it all smelled very festive too...

We will be using a wide selection of gorgeous Irish grown fir , eucalyptus, pittosporum, holly and lots of other beautiful freshly cut greens on a fully mossed base. This will help keep your wreath fresh right over the Christmas season. You can then finish this off with bright berries, pines cones, orange and cinnamon and then choose your favourite bow from a selection of ribbons in different colours.

If you are getting married soon, why not think about having colour in your wedding flowers? Using the best of seasonal flowers can really add such a pop of fun and personality to your wedding outfits in all seasons. Bright colours aren't for everyone on their wedding day but if you do love flowers, think about it and ask your local flower farmer for their best in season. By coordinating your flowers with beautiful accessories like ribbon and candles etc., you can put your own stamp on your wedding day without costing the earth!
This was a July wedding created by us @flowersonfouracres for the wonderful Emilia! Flowers modelled and created with the help of the wonderful freelancer Carolyn @homeiswhereurheartis on what was a scorching hot day! A rare thing this last Summer.

Strawflowers look and feel papery even before they are hravested. A lot of people ask me when I am at shows if they are actually real? They are REAL flowers and the dry amazingly well and hold their colour for a very long time. If you considering buying or growing dried flowers, strawflowers are a definite. They come in lots of different bright colours!
