A few weeks ago these beauties hit my inbox from the wonderful Benjamin Stuart Photography.

This beauty almost fell into my handbag on the way home today. I think it may be my favourite urn arrangement to date. These miniature metal urns are completely perfect - the right size for plants, arrangements and not too huge that they would swap a table setting for a dinner party. They are also super versatile to arrange in. Make a hand-tied bouquet, use some oasis, chicken wire (always my preference) or those funny little pin cushion flower frogs. I'm more of a chicken wire lady myself, scrunch a tiny piece up and simply just start threading your stems […]
Our vintage inspired bridal bouquet was packed with Amnesia roses, Ocean Song roses, waxflower, lisianthus, berried eucalyptus, dusty millar and Mikado spray roses The vintage vibe is so big in wedding flowers, I don't think I'll ever tire of it! Amnesia and Ocean Song roses always steal my heart, and the berried eucalyptus is just heavenly. Combine these beautiful colours with lots of texture, as we did here. Waxflower is so versatile, with its soft ivory star shaped flowers providing a subtle lemon scent and with the silvery sage green dusty millar it ensures the roses are the stars of […]

We often get asked for some inspirational ideas for spring and early summer flowers. I think it’s the time of the year when suddenly planting seems to take over our lives, and we suddenly feel all inspired to get our gardening and floral arranging groove on. The bulbs are suddenly in decline and we start to see some of the flower worlds greatest blooms shine. Personally its my favourite time of the year, I think after a long winter the arrival of these early summer blooms reminds me that eventually … eventually we will get long evenings, hot days and […]
