Glastonbury Inspired Wedding

Over easter you may have seen my facebook or twitter comments describing the glastonbury themed wedding we provided the flowers for . Debbie our lovely bride was an absolute pleasure to work with and provided us with lots of collected treasures from her many festival weekends to make their wedding truly personal.

The main colour scheme was deep purple with cerise pink, however when it came to venue dressing Debbie wanted other colours brought in to give it a informal, happy glasto vibe!

So here we go, onto the finer details

The bouquet, a natural handtied trail of rannuculus, roses, parrot tulips, lisianthus, broom, veronica and mixed foliages .

-

The buttonholes - rannuculus

Rings - Debbie provided this box which we filled with moss for the wedding rings

Windows , we made this 'LOVE' out of fresh moss

Centrepieces - half of the tables were dressed like this , includes moss, birch, germinis, mimosa, veronica, lisianthus

The other tables were dressed with tree like structures that we made from twisted hazel.

The top table was a huge centrepiece about 7 foot high ( thats no joke) , containing a real tree branch which we decorated with coordinating flower balls and the brides little treasures.

And finally a little wishing tree for the guests to write their good wishes on...

This was a really fun wedding, other details included a tippee in the hotel grounds, guests were offered 5 different fruit ciders to drink and flower filled lanterns in the entrance pathway.

Tillyboo events coordinated the wedding and did another great job of the venue styling

Thankyou to the happy couple for booking us and wishing you a very happy funfilled future together!

Gerbera handtieds

I love these sweet little bridal handtieds that we recently did for one of our brides, white germini's teamed with purple tulips and pale green roses make perfectly cute springtime wedding bouquets.

The purest of them all , the Cala Lily

There is something about a white cala lily that is just so sophisticated, simple and very stylish.

Admittedly not the cheapest of flowers, but as with everything you get what you pay for, and very often less is always more.

These are pictures of one of our easter weddings who had the cala lily theme throughout. Overarm bridal bouquet, tied bridesmaids posies, buttonhole, corsages, cake deco and simple tall centrepieces....

Green Fingered

One of my favourite shops recently opened a London home, the gorgeous fashion and treats were as expected, truly beautiful but i was also in awe of this fantastic wall in the shop . This is made totally out of plants - how cool is that!
Anthropologie awaits you...

A 'Fabulous' Evening

We recently took part in the 'Fabulous Places' luxury shopping evening at Blackbrook House, Belper

Fabulous Places.co.uk is a great site promoting the best local independent shops & producers, and we love the fact that we are considered to be one of those.

Blackbrook was filled with gorgeous gifts, homewares, jewellery,food and of course flowers!

We took along lots of lovely spring & mothers day designs which obviously caught someones attention as we were even featured in the Derby Evening Telegraph .

Absolutely fabulous ! Check it out www.fabulousplaces.co.uk

Tim & Jackie Wedding 13th March

Mothers day weekend is busy at the best of times, but this year, we also had a wedding to focus on, which meant alot of extra planning, but it was well worth it as this one was a beauty.

Jackie our bride opted for a gorgeous dress in an unusual 'oyster' colour, so to complement this we opted for creams, browns & dusky pinks. Her dress had lace detailing which gave it a bit of a vintage look , which we tied in with the flowers by using a vintage brooch around the stems. (thanks Abbeyx)

Jackie was quite happy to leave the flower choices to us, so we went for roses ( maroussia, cool water, hypnose, David austin Patience) - all my favourites, and some are scented too! Rannuculus, lilac and eucalyptus. Perfect!

To decorate the venue, the bride and groom opted for low bowl vases, (perfect for reusing bouquets ), which looked lovely against the flickering candlelight. The tables were also dressed with crystals, coordinating table runners, and chair covers.

And finally to decorate the beams, we made 2 rose filled hearts to make it extra special, that went perfectly with the fairy lights hired by tillyboo .

Thankyou to Sarah at Tillyboo Events & Steven Bradshaw photography for the images.

For My Mum....xxx

I am going to dedicate this post to the most special lady in my life, my mum.

My mum, has worked incredibly hard and helped me make my business the established and beautiful flower shop that it is.

Before i was born, my mum was a florist and she obviously passed on her love of flowers and creative streak to me.

I remember when i was around 7 or 8 years old, i had my first flower delivery at school - a tiny little oasis posy of pink and white flowers. I was the proudest girl in the class and can still picture it clearly now.

My mum and I work together and are the best of friends, so mum, Happy Mothers Day, you mean the world to me and I love you all the world and a little donkey ;) Thankyou so much for all of your help. I couldnt manage without you xxxx
