A welcome break from dust and decorating, spring has well and truly sprung in the shop with some of my favourite plants and flowers filling draws, shelves and all spare space. I just wish my home and garden looked full of promise! Possibly my favourite spring bulb of all time, Muscari. I think they are the perfect way to brighten someone’s day They also smell like sweets. Hellebore heaven ... I am super dizzy with excitement! We just got a huge delivery of the most knock-out hellebore plants and cut stems. Its making me want to create some jam jar […]
Red and gorgeous! Marshmallow Piano roses are my current new beau … they make my heart skip a few beats. I’ve always wanted to use them in a bridal bouquet and finally I got my chance! How happy we’re we when a beautiful bride asked us to create the wedding bouquet filled with berried ivy (delicious – although not when eaten) scented eucalyptus, the marshmallows aka Piano roses and Red Naomi roses. Seriously romantic, seriously seasonal, seriously gorgeous. More please! Take a look at some more of our wedding work here: https://greenparlour.com/blog/category/wedding-flowers/
Spring is in the air We’re a few weeks late on the ‘love is in the air’ theme, so we thought we’d skip straight to spring. Officially my favourite wedding bouquet ever! I’m head over heals in love with this gorgeous spring inspired wedding bouquet filled with anemones, scented lilac, parrot tulips, skimmia, blush Majolika spray roses and blousy ranunculus. I almost couldn’t bring myself to deliver it to the bride. Want want want! There are lots more gorgeous white wedding bouquets here: https://greenparlour.com/blog/category/wedding-flowers/white-wedding-flowers/

Emily and Andrew first came to see us over two years ago, whilst this is super organized, it made the whole process of choosing the right flowers for them completely stress free. We had time to source, suggest and show them lots of different items, ideas and of course flowers! They chose to get married at The Elephant Hotel in Pangbourne for its truly relaxed vibe and super chilled out atmosphere. The perfect setting for the winter wonderland wedding of their dreams. The final touches to the ceremony room included these rather ‘WOW’ candelabras, which I found just days before […]
