Happy New Year ( & starting off with a very pretty photoshoot)

Happy New Year ! I hope everyone had a lovely christmas break .
2013 was a busy year here at Blossom Tree, I actually don't know where the year went. Back in January we gave our website a spring clean & added a brand new wedding section , which i hope all our brides found useful . Then came preparation for Valentines Day and another busy Mothers Day .
Soon after we were very proud to have our work featured in Pearl Lowes Vintage Craft book & then began our wedding season, which kept us very busy bees until the autumn. During September we had our own holidays which brought us to October meaning planning our christmas range , then launching our christmas range, all of which whilst keeping busy with our day to day shop orders . Phew ! and now we are back to January again . Doesn't time fly !
So back to our weddings, 2013 was VERY busy for wedding orders. So much so I have a whole camera full of last years beautiful images that i didn't get chance to blog. So over the next few weeks my mission is to post all of these on the blog, to hopefully give the lovely brides of 2014 a bit of inspiration .
I wanted to start the 2014 blog off with these beautiful images taken by Katie from Annabella Whispers Photography who we collaborated with on a wedding shoot last autumn . I wanted to demonstrate a few new hair flower designs, wedding bouquet ideas & some interesting bridesmaid flowers. We also made a rustic floral arch, as a twist to a standard focal ceremony area . I hope you like them . A big thank you to Katie for taking the images, and to our lovely friends Kat & little Freya for modelling for us. If you would like to book a consultation for your own wedding flowers please get in touch xx

 

Country Wedding Flowers - Summer Pastels

These pretty wedding flowers were for our lovely bride Robina who tied the knot at the stunning Repton School Chapel, with the reception held at Repton School . 

The brief was a pretty handpicked look in mostly whites and greens , but bringing in a few pretty pastels to soften , creams , a little bit of pale peach with an occasional blue scabiosa for the bridesmaids and centrepieces. Looks summery but still fresh and pretty . Thanks very much to Robina for sending us the lovely images of on the day , congratulations xx

Autumn Flowers

This time of year is so lovely for florists, there are so many interesting textures and materials to work with . Lovely berries, autumn leaves, wheat, autumn fruits in lots of lovely shades that we only associate with the autumn.
I have recently been sent these images by my dear friend Katie from Annabella Whispers Photography. Last autumn Katie asked if i would be able to make her an autumn flower crown for a photoshoot she was working on .  A year later and look how lovely it still is, now all nicely dried out to save forever ..

And here it is in its original form last autumn .....
I think this is a lovely natural headdress for a bride having an autumn wedding .

Thankyou to Annabella Whispers for the images and click here to read Katies Autumn Magic blog post.
