Kathryn & Russell






Last weekend we provided the wedding flowers for our clients Kathryn & Russell. They had a lovely wedding day within the beautiful setting of Prestwold Hall.
For Kathryn we constructed a trailing bouquet of white phalenopsis orchids & ivory roses, with birch and rolled leaves. Russell wore a matching buttonhole.
For the venue we provided centrepieces of entwined white dendrobium orchids in modern goldfish bowls.
All of the above photographs were provided by the official photographer Purvis-Gisbourne Photography.

A day of deliveries....


Wow what a busy day we had yesterday. We were very pleased to win a large order from one of our corporate customers. They ordered 27 bouquets to be delivered across Derbyshire, Staffordshire and Nottinghamshire, so our little blossom tree van was filled to the brim with flowers !
Our customer chose a bouquet from our website called Rosie . A pretty pink handtied bouquet which includes pale pink sweet avalanche roses, pink bouvardia, alstromeria and eucalyptus.
All the lucky recipients were very pleased, and we had a lovely feedback email from the company who placed the order, so pat on the backs all round! :)

Wedding Fayre at The Priest House 06/09/09

We exhibited at a local wedding fayre held at The Priest House , nr Castle Donington.
Alot of excited brides came to visit our stand to discuss their ideas for flowers on the big day.
2010 is definately going to be a big year for weddings.
Unfortunately we didnt get very good photo's, (the flash didnt work on the camera), but here are a few. The goldfish bowl in particular was very popular, with the flower ' Gloriosa Lily' a definate talking point!


The table on the right showing our tall martini vase arrangement was styled by Tillyboo & included dusky pink vintage candles, coordinating chair covers and runners and cute vintage teapot cookies ! It looked so lovely!

Weddings, Weddings and more Weddings!

Phew, what a busy few weeks its been at The Blossom Tree.

The first week of august was a VERY popular weekend to get married and it certainly kept us very busy & on our toes. Planned like a military operation, with hard work and lots of cups of tea we provided the flowers for 7 weddings (and a christening!). Everything of course went to plan,...apart from the weather! It was dreadful! The rain literally poured allday. I'm sure it didnt dampen any of our brides spirits thou . Congratulations to all of you! xxx


Here are photo's of the different bridal bouquets, each one individually designed for our brides!



Country Garden, includes roses, nigella, sweetpeas, hydrangea, phlox, rosemary, veronica . Smelt divine!

A girlie bouquet of akito roses, freesia, pittosporum ,freesia and a few little crystals for a touch of sparkle!

'Cadbury' purple is a very popular colour for weddings this year. This client opted for purple lisianthus, with soft lilac roses and freesia with scented eucalyptus. As a little detail we threaded purple beads onto the beargrass, can you spot it?
