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.

Beautiful Weddings

May was one of our busiest months for weddings this year, I think because in previous years the spring has always been so beautiful, and the summer a tad damp...

2013 has been an exception!

Laura & Andrew's wedding was one of the first, and I have just recieved some beautiful images I wanted to share with you...

Laura & Andrew both live in Bristol, but were married here in Wellington's St Johns Church, as Wellington is Laura's home town. The reception was held at Hornsbury Mill in Chard where, if you ever call in, you are greeted by the most fabulous peacocks... and these images are courtesy of Nick Spratling at The Official Photographer.

Enjoy x

... and Elsie!

The week has been full of beautiful things, some we even managed to catch on camera...

A birthday dinner with jam jars and teacups...

A garden party of beautiful Annabel Hydrangea, Ammi, spray rose, Lissianthus and Alchamilla. (no pics sorry)

A wedding of delicious smells, mint, rosemary, sage and euc, with Sweetpeas, Dutchess de Month, Stocks and Upper Secret, Memory Lane, Hypnose, Super Bubbles, Pepita and white Naomi roses.

A gerbera wedding... (last weeks...)!

And Elsie...

Congratulations Nik & Silva!

Nik & Silva were married at the gorgeous Gerbestone Manor and had an absolutely fabulous reception. As soon as we get them, we will post some photos for you.. let's just say that Vivienne Westwood featured heavily! Gorgeous.

Silva wanted a ruby red bouquet which was really loose and natural. We used these fantastic 'Piano' Roses and Ivy berries gathered together to create the perfect bouquet for her.

 

 

 Nik had a matching buttonhole which looked fab on his multicoloured pinstripe!

 

There was just the one bridesmaid, who was wearing vintage pinks. We chose 'Splendid Cordelia' Hyacinths which weren't open - they just had that lovely shape and tinge on pink on the tips. We also used 'Hot Pink' Ranunculus, Brunia, Astrantia and the ever gorgeous 'Sarah Bernhardt' Peony.

All of the tables had a mixture of jars, containing beautiful spring flowers in every colour imaginable! Delicious. Check back for Part II! ..

Congratulations again Nik & Silva, we loved working with you! x

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!
