Part 2 of the overindulgent florist

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

Today …

I will mainly be using Blackberries, Dill, Nigella seed pods, Sunflowers and Marjoram.

Scented Dill, Blackberries, Sunflowers and Nigella

I have over indulged again and this is now sitting next to me on my desk whilst I frantically type about wedding flowers!

WANTED : more vintage jugs!

Bon France

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

Today I will mainly be talking in French and dreaming about sipping a glass of the finest Champagne whilst sitting in a stripy deckchair on the Eiffel tower.

Perhaps we should do a French shop exchange for a week!

Item number 51 on my to do list:

Build international relations allowing holidays in lovely cities around the world. First stop Paris! Perhaps Catherine Muller would like to take part in this swap (the shop sounds wonderful, please check out her blog)

Green Parlour in Perfect Wedding magazine article

Tuesday, July 27th, 2010

We’ve made it to the national press! with the help of some wonderful images by Rosie Parsons (not only does she write a mean blog she also takes some pretty amazing photos to boot … look out for her brand new shiny blog coming soon http://rosieparsons.com/blog/) and of course we couldn’t have done it without the help the Bride and Groom – Ruth and Mike.

Here are the snapshots of their day (and our flowers…hurray!)

Wedding Bouquets

Thursday, July 22nd, 2010

There is nothing better than receieving an email/thank you card/letter from a Bride to say thank you for all of your hard work, and most importantly that they loved what you did! and when the email/thankyou card/letter is packed full of images it literally makes my day.

So imagine my excitement at opening an email from Sarah (you know who you are !) and letting me sneak a peek at the photos of our flowers. I love them!
