Frou Frou Bridal Boutique

Frou Frou Bridal Boutique opened its doors today, with the launch last night. A stunning boutique with the most beautiful selection of dresses and accessories. A bridal boutique 'with a vintage twist', the attention to detail to the interior is incredible and every bride should pay them a visit and enjoy champagne, fancy tea and cupcakes! What more could you wish for!

Christmas is on its way

Just a quick post to give you a taste of what is to come at Christmas! Click on the Christmas page on the top bar to see a few examples of wreaths, table arrangements and vintage goodies. Keep checking back as I will add more pics soon.

Why wait till Christmas

A hint of Christmas for Eridge Park Farm Shop this week as they had a special evening to release their Christmas pricelist. Lots of tasty cheese and cakes were nibbled and local wines consumed. I created a couple of wreaths that can be either for the door or table, but why wait till Christmas when they also make rather lovely autumn door wreaths.

Ok, perhaps this wreath should wait till Christmas though.

Signs of Autumn

With things starting to wind down in the cutting garden, we escaped for a lovely weeks holiday, but more on that later in the week.

Even though we seem to have brought the sunshine back with us, the flowers are very much showing signs of autumn.

 

Holiday snaps to follow - once i've sorted through the pics, got a little carried away!!

A little bit of everything

This weekend consisted of creating arrangements for a wedding, a birthday, a funeral, a pub, a farm shop and a farmers market...

 phew.

Eridge Park Farm Shop

If you haven't already discovered, Eridge Park farm shop is now open.

Huge selection of local meats, seasonal fruit and veg, tasty breads and the most amazing ice cream.

You may also spot a weekly arrangement of locally grown flowers by yours truly!

Travelling bouquets

Home grown country flowers for a London wedding.
The bride loved the dark scabious, so these were mixed with sweet peas, astrantia, nigella, sedum, ammi, veronica and poppy heads with lots of senecio, sage, eucalyptus and oregano.

The bridesmaids had dainty posies of sweet peas, astrantia, nigella, small david austin roses and ammi, all mixed with senecio, sage and oregano.

 All boxed up and ready for their travels with the bride and groom.

Penshurst Farmers Market

Another month, another market.
How time flies.

Last market for this growing season will be the 3rd September.
Hope to see you there.

Penshurst Farmers Market 6th August

It's that time again. 

We will be at Penshurst Farmers Market this Saturday with a selection of scented bouquets, jam jars and scented plants.

Sweet peas are still putting on a fine show, as are all the various varieties of dill. 

Dahlias are starting to burst in to flower on a daily basis, particularly loving these beautiful velvety dark ones above.

Beautifully formed scabious in pale blues, white and dark burgundy, as well as plenty of stunning rich blue and mauve larkspur.

Wedding season

A wedding from a couple of weeks ago, that I have only just had a chance to upload the pics.

The bride loved velvety red roses but the bridesmaids were wearing raspberry, so for her bouquet I combined black bacarra roses with metalina roses and dark pink astrantia.

As always, must dash, enjoy the sunshine!
