DIY Wedding Flower Course : A Step-by-Step Bridal Bouquet Tutorial As wedding season approaches, I understand that it’s not always possible to have a professional florist create all the flowers for your big day. While I wholeheartedly recommend hiring a professional florist for your bridal flowers when possible, I know that some brides prefer to craft their own. That’s why our DIY Wedding Flower Course: A Bridal Bouquet tutorial is here to guide you through the entire process—from selecting the perfect flowers to assembling your bouquet and adding those all-important finishing touches, like tying your bouquet with a […]

Inspirational Christmas Wreaths Christmas is in the air and it's the time of the year where my order books are filled with Christmas Wreaths. From XL jaw dropping Christmas Wreaths through to those laden with fruits, there is nothing like a beautiful door wreath to decorate your Christmas doorway. Today I'm sharing with you some inspirational Christmas wreaths for your home.
Autumn Wreaths Wreaths are not just for winter, autumn wreaths are becoming the must have exterior decor item of the season. With all that wonderful colour, I'm always inspired by the start of the autumn season. What better way to capture the transition to winter than by starting the process to decorate your home.
Christmas Wreath Classes Winter has to be one of my favourite season. A chance to celebrate, embrace traditions and decorate your home for the winter season. I’m a big fan of twinkling lights, the scent of time and of course the annual tradition of hanging a Christmas Door Wreath on the front of my house. At Green Parlour, I believe that the true magic of the season lies in the act of creation. That's why I'm thrilled to invite you to our Christmas Wreath Making Course.
Winter wedding flowers at Wasing Park Rowena and Josh chose to have their New Years Eve wedding at Wasing Park and what a day it was. I love flowering up at Wasing Park - it has a wonderfully laid back, yet sophisticated atmosphere. Perfect for a New Years Eve wedding celebration. The brief was my ideal for that time of year - crisp whites, fresh but with a hint of winter. The statement florals here were all about adding height to the barn - you cannot beat candelabras and layers upon layers of candles for the ultimate New Years Eve […]
Autumn wedding flowers at Dorney Court Dorney Court has it all - old grandeur with the beautiful character house and the wonderful sympathetically restored barn. I've dressed it a few times with flowers, but I wanted to share with you Hannah's rich autumn wedding flowers. Dorney Court is perfect if you want a blank canvas for your big day, that you can really make you're own. I worked with Hannah to transform the space for her early autumn wedding. As ever, for me, its all about having a few statement flower displays to transform the space.
If you are getting married at Templars Barn, it can be hard to visualise just how gorgeous the space can be when you first view the venue. The thing I love most about Templars Barn is it really is a venue that you can make your own. Becca and Jonny did just that with their late summer wedding. Filling the space with statement lighting, personal touches and of course a bit of flower magic. With a classic palette of creams whites and greens, we brought a little slice of the outside in. Its all about using lots of seasonal foliage […]
Spring is a time for awakening and new beginnings and that alone should convince you that a spring wedding is one of the most magical times to get married. Not only is it the perfect season to tie the knot, it's also the season when the flower world starts to bloom. You'll have an abundance of Spring flowers to choose from - daffodils, flowering viburnum, hyacinths and roses to name a few. Whilst I love pastel flowers as this time of year, it's also a time of bold colour. Don't be afraid to mix in some stronger pops of pink, […]
