Lots of Lovely Tulips

We have been working with lots of tulips over the last few weeks, (yay for it being spring!), particulary in wedding work.
Tulips are one of those flowers that i personally think, keeping it simple is best. What do you think ?

Hypnose Rose Country Bouquets

Here are a few pictures of one set of wedding bouquets from last week.
A lovely informal mix of countrystyle flowers and foliages, perfect for the rustic barn setting of the wedding.
We used hypnose roses within these bouquets, which are the browny/pink shade roses. i have heard on the grapevine that these roses may be phased out later this year, as the grower doesnt want to produce them anymore. Really hope that this isnt true Mr Hypnose rose grower!

Spring Basket Workshop




Following the success of our christmas doorwreath workshops ( we only planned one, and actually did 3 workshops in the end), we thought it would be a lovely time of year to plan in another, this time using beautiful spring flowers. With Mothers Day only a few days away, it was a lovely present to give to mums, or, as some of our ladies did, booked their mum on the course too.

I like to work to a structured colour palette so decided to base the theme on fresh spring colours - yellow, white and blues. Wanting to give our ladies really lovely flowers to work with, we used spring flowers beauties such as paperwhites, rannuculus, forget me nots, tulips and hyacinths.

I gave my basket shown above to my mum, here are some pics of the ladies creating their masterpieces for their mummys.....

Thankyou to everyone who came and look forward to seeing you on the next one xx

My all time favourite

White stocks, are my all time favourite flower. I love them, i love the pretty shape and texture of the individual flowers, the scent really is the nicest smell in the whole world, and they look so beautiful - both on their own or also combined with other flowers.
If you request stocks in an order from us, i am a happy bunny x

Black and White Wedding









So these pretties kick started this years long list of wedding flowers .

Black and white themed, very classic, roses , rannuculus, bouvardia and freesia for the bouquets. Bound with black satin ribbon.

Rannuculus and hyacinth corsages for the ladies, roses and hyacinth buttonholes for the men.

Very dainty and elegant at the same time.


Making these got us very much in the mood, for the lovely wedding flowers to come x
