Nice Day for a White Wedding...

Rebecca got in touch with me just a few weeks before her wedding with a clear idea of what she liked.

We shared some ideas over pinterest before we met to discuss our thoughts and ideas together.

The flowers had to be white, delicate and scented where possible, We used the silk from Rebecca's dress to bind her bouquet and satin ribbon for her bridesmaids.

The blooms we  chose were Dutchess De Nemo peonies, white eustoma, freesia, white majolika spray roses and Lily of the valley combined with a touch of eucalyptus... Rebecca's bouquet was exquisite. Full of tiny details and subtle scents.

 Simeon, the groom, and his groomsmen all wore simple eustoma button holes finished with twine.

Rebecca and Simeon married at the fabulous St Audries in West Quantocks Head earlier this year.
Simon Biffen of www.simonbiffenphotography.co.uk the man behind the lense.

Break the mould! A guide to Buttonholes & Corsages.

Buttonholes don't have to be boring & consist of a Carnation and Leatherleaf.. they're a great way to express your personality at any event! Not only for Weddings, corsages look amazing at parties and dinners - and can be worn on your wrist, bag, shoes or in your hair.. anything is possible!

Anything can be included too - not just flowers and beads! The above designs are of Anemones, Conkers and Quail eggs for a country walk design and red spray Roses, Blackberries and Acorns for a cornucopia of Autumn... Vintage lace and buttons, as well as berries and bark also look fabulous.

If you don't want to be too bold, a boutonniere is the perfect design. Smaller than a buttonhole and consisting of just one or two blooms, they're lovely on a jacket for lunch out or a more casual occasion.

..and of course, the classic rose buttonhole is timeless. Teamed with another seasonal or favourite bloom, (here we have used Hydrangea,) they ooze sophistication.

Or why not go for something completely different - floral jewellery. We can create any shape or colour necklace to compliment your outfit perfectly.. you'll certainly stand out from the crowd! xx

Congratulations!

..to the lovely Layla and Matthew!

 ..and last but not least, Laylas beautiful Rose bouquet. We used Rosa 'Grand Prix' and Rosa Spray 'Red Sensation' for a luxurious hand-tied design.

Wishing you both a wonderful and happy Marriage.

The leaves are falling.. Autumn is here!

This season is all about burning reds, ochres and oranges - and, even though you all know how much we love pinks and lilacs, we're willing to fill the shop with these gorgeous Autumnal shades, just so that you can enjoy them at home!

Red 'Naomi' Roses, Orange Ilex Berries, 'Carnival' Leucospermum and the ever eye-catching 'Tom Pierce' Blooms are our favourites at the moment - keep an eye out for these blooms in special designs in our shop around Halloween..WOoooh!

Weddings are still frequent at this time of year, so why not show your love of the season with a 'by design' corsage or buttonhole? With exquisite detail, we think these add a little extra 'wow' factor!
