When your faced with choosing flowers for a loved ones funeral its so difficult to know where to start. A lot of undertakers have an in house florist with some set designs that you can choose from, this can make life a lot easier, especially when there is so much to organise, but what if you don't want to organise a standard arrangement - you want something a little bit more personal.
Bright spring wedding flowers for a March wedding I cannot wait to share Kelly and Alan's beautiful bright spring wedding with you today.
