2014 - what a year!

Well what can I say, 2014 passed me by without a single blog, shocking!
My little florist fingers have been so busy that there was just no extra time, or energy, to type and share any of the beautiful weddings that I have been working on.

It was a rather epic year on the flower front. So rather than waffle on, I'm going to leave you with some of the beautiful pics that I have kindly been allowed to share from photographers and couples.

So there you go, and breathe! And this is only a taster of what I got up to!
2014 was all about saying yes, it was amazing but also exhausting and if I'm honest not a sustainable work level. So 2015 will see us focusing on fewer weddings and boy are they going to be beauties. Hopefully this may give me a little more time to share some of them with you before the year is up! But I'm not making any promises x

Summer Weddings...

Wow, how time has flown, I can't believe it has been 2 months since my last post!
It has been a very busy summer season of weddings and the autumn season is set to be just as exciting.
So here is a taster of what we have been up to.

 I think that's enough for now, more to share another time...

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.

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.

Oh and you can also find me on twitter, and Facebook pop over and say hi and 'Like' my facebook page if you like! Think that's enough technology for one day.

So that was 2011...

I found myself getting slightly distracted whilst looking through photos for inspiration for 2012 brides. Nostalgia kicked in for what was a busy but exciting year, so I thought i'd share some of what went on in a quick round up of 2011.

It started with beautiful spring flowers for Mother's Day

Combined with the start of the homegrown flowers

Early summer brought us parties filled with peonies, dill and larkspur

Beautiful summer urns dressed marquees

June meant the beginning of the market season with plenty of homegrown flowers, sweet peas, cornflower, dill, scabious and nigella all in abundance mixed with scented herbs

The wedding season got in to full swing

Classic whites with a touch of yellow

The bridesmaids brightened up this rainy summers day and encouraged the sun to make an appearance for the reception

Excited to be able to produce completely homegrown beautiful wedding flowers

Eridge Park Farm Shop opened offering plenty of locally grown produce

Autumn introduced us to lots of lovely textures, berries and seedheads

Froufrou Bridal Boutique opened its doors to lots of lovely brides to be

Beautiful shop with a stunning selection of vintage inspired dresses

And then of course there was Christmas, what can I say, busier than ever with  lots of markets and orders.  And then a chance to put our feet up for a couple of days!

So a taster for what we got up to in 2011. 2012 looks to be an even more exciting year with ideas and projects in the pipeline and already lots of lovely couples booked in for their big day!
