Vintage Pinks In Autumn

Muted pinks are still a really popular colourscheme , however once summer has passed ,i think it's really nice to give them seasonal feel mixing in some lovely textures that are abundant this time of year. Here we included some lovely dark foliages, which just moved the 'feel' of the flowers from pretty vintage to more autumnal.

Goodbye to autumn

Sadly the beautiful colours of autumn will soon be coming to a close, so we decided to get out and make the most of the gorgeous countryside before the dull days & bare trees of winter set in.

These photographs were taken around one of my favourite places, the Chatsworth estate.

Like most people working in a creative industry & of course like other florists I am influenced by nature & the natural world. Constantly absorbing different colours , textures, materials , it's so easy to be inspired by our gorgeous surrounding, which can then be translated into designs for wedding work, bouquets, sympathy design, anything really! We have a big bag of goodies in our stockroom of collected material, dried bark, nuts, twigs etc that are fabulous items to get creative with back at the shop!

I just love the colours in these images from the weekend..

The nature of Art - Andy Goldsworthy is one of my favourite artists . He works out in the open, using all the kinds of material that we love! Have a look at these...

Autumn Weddings

I love autumn . After spring , it is my favourite time of year. For florists, it means a burst of colours such as oranges, red, limes, browns that are not used that often, and lovely textured materials to work with like berries, twigs and beautiful colourful foliages.

We have a few autumn weddings coming up which i will do my best to take pics of, although with the duller light it is not easy for a novice photographer!

Here are pictures of some of the table centrepieces our first autumn wedding opted for.

Tall trumpet vases bursting with seasonal flowers and foliages, and coordinating fishbowls for the top table. Very dramatic against the white background of a marquee.
