A few pics to share taken by the talented Tino & Pip from the Sunset Barn wedding open day a couple of weeks ago.

And to finish March

Country flowers for the Sunset Barn open day. Cleverly forgot the camera so no pics to share.

Flowers for a photo shoot for an interior designer.

 

And preparing for Easter.

Hotel du Vin Wedding Fayre

A taster of what brides enjoyed this weekend at the Hotel du Vin wedding fayre.

Next weekend we will be at Sunset Barn in Groombridge for their first open day with lots of lovely local suppliers, come and join us on Saturday 31st March 10.30 - 3.30pm.

Phew...

So it was a busy one, my first mother's day working for myself and I am extremely happy with how it all went. Sold every last bouquet, so hopefully lots of very happy mother's around. A little taster of a few of the bouquets that hubby managed to get some pics of before they sold!

Home sweet home

I have been having such fun with a new contract for gorgeous seasonal flowers for an absolutely beautiful house, that just lends itself to having flowers everywhere and lucky for me that is exactly what she wants!

So another reason why I have been quiet of late. My next excuse for going off the radar is that little occasion known as Mothers Day! Have you remembered?? We will be at Eridge Park farm shop with lots of beautiful spring posies, perfect to spoil your Mum with.

Spring christening

Apologies for the silence of late, so many different projects going on that time just seems to run away with me and before you know it another month has passed and I've not blogged (new years resolution - failed miserably!!)

Anyway, will try harder. So to get us back on track I thought I'd share todays spring flowers for a christening. It was an early start for a Sunday but being such a beautiful morning certainly helped and how can you not be happy when surrounded by endless pretty spring flowers in blues, creams and whites.

I couldn't resist keeping a few hellebores to have in the studio.

In the nick of time

So I was little anxious with the threat of snow looming, as I had the small matter of wedding flowers to deliver! Checking the BBC weather every few minutes was becoming slightly annoying to everyone around me but I needed to be sure I wasn't going to get caught out.

Anyway, it all went smoothly and the flowers were delivered with the odd flurry of snow. The splash of orange certainly brought a flash of colour to the pics and warmed up the room at The Spa (not that it needed it, it was very snug in there), apparently orange socks were also worn by the groom, can't wait for the pics of those!

And then the snow came, perfect for a Sunday off.

Pop up shop

Very excited to be offering fresh cornish flowers at a pop up shop at Eridge Park farm shop this Friday 27th January.The English cut flower season begins with lots of beautiful tulips, anemones, daffs and scented narcissi, all made up in to pretty little posies.

It's still a couple of months until our very own spring flowers will be ready for cutting so in the meantime we will be stocking lots of lovely cornish blooms.

Pop along and say Hi and see if I can tempt you with a touch of spring!

A touch of spring

It has been a busy start to the year with lots of wedding enquiries, which equals lots of quote writing and inspiration boards. So I thought I would start sharing the inspiration behind the weddings I have coming up this year.
First up this year will be an orange and ivory wedding, with a touch of spring.

Check out the website!

I realised that with the craziness of Christmas and then organising of the new year, that I seem to have forgotten to mention that my rather clever husband has created a website for me!
So if you have always come straight through to my blog for your flower fix then you can now have a look at the website too, if you have landed on my blog via the website then this is old news to you!
I still want to add more to it ( I use the word 'I' loosely, as I have not got my head round the other language that is html talk - so I will have to sweet talk my husband to add more pics at the mo) but in the meantime I'd love to know your thoughts.
