Can you believe the heat wave we experienced last week?! Crazy hot weather for April but still it was lovely to have some sunshine! The weather this week, not so great, which is a shame. Hopefully today's Spring brights for a one to one flower workshop we had recently will help cheer you up. The lovely Carmela, who works in the wedding industry herself as a designer and stylist had flown over from Hong Kong for a week and had decided she wanted to attend a floral workshop to learn some flower ...

Hanging Chandelier and Spring Table Runner One to One Flower Workshop
Is it me or does it feel like the first signs of Spring are finally in the air? I'm very much enjoying the beautiful sunshine we have had the last couple of days. Especially following all the snow we had last week! Speaking of Spring a couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of teaching a hanging chandelier and Spring table runner one to one flower workshop or should I say two on one, as the class was indeed with two people. It was so lovely to meet Veronica and Barbara, who had travelled from ... View the Post
Life on a Flower Farm with Swan Cottage Flowers
What a treat we have on the blog today! We're chatting with the lovely Zoe all about life on a flower farm with Swan Cottage Flowers. Obviously I write a lot about flowers and floral design but what about the growing aspect to owning a floral business? The two fit together like a puzzle and work hand in hand together so I thought who better to give a behind the scenes tour of owning a flower farm then the owner of Swan Cottage Flowers herself! If like myself you champion British flowers or are ... View the Post
Dreaming of Spring
The title of today's blog post really says it all, I'm dreaming of Spring! Let's face it once Christmas and New Year has been we're just a little bit over winter aren't we? (or is it just me?!) The dark short days, the miserable cold and wet weather, as I type right now it has started to chuck it down with rain outside! All you really want is some sunshine and a bit of warmth! I'm dreaming of seeing all the wonderful delights that Spring has to offer; the beautiful Blossom growing on the trees, ... View the Post

Gorgeous Garden Roses
There is no denying that I'm a sucker for gorgeous garden roses, I use them a lot within my designs (as I'm sure you will notice over on our wedding galleries) particularly the scented varieties for the bridal bouquets as I feel it's lovely to carry something that has a sweet smelling fragrance and thinking of the scent will always evoke such happy memories and transport you back to your special day all over again. I just adore how blousy they are too and some of the British varieties grown by ... View the Post
Autumn is here
Have you noticed it too? There's a cooler more crisp breeze in the air, that beautiful late afternoon golden sunlight that makes everything glisten and sparkle then there's the leaves starting to change colour as they fall from the trees and my favourite cardigan that has been retrieved from the back of the wardrobe, yep there has definitely been a shift in the seasons and Autumn is here. The prospect of a new season excites me, especially Autumn. As with it comes a change in pace from ... View the Post
Top Five Tips for Start up Businesses
Hello lovelies, How are you? It's nearing the end of wedding season but we still have a little way left to go and I'm feeling pretty exhausted. I made the same mistake as last year of not booking a holiday to refresh and recharge my batteries half way through the season which was pretty stupid as you're suppose to learn from your mistakes so needless to say this post is coming to you from a weary florist. I can't complain to much though as 2017 so far for us has been pretty mega with lots of ... View the Post
Romance doesn’t have to mean roses
With today being Valentine's Day, we thought we would share some of our favourite romantic flowers with you. Although most people think of red roses when it comes to flowers for Valentine's Day, they are really expensive at this time of year, and there are so many other wonderfully romantic flowers around. Some of our favourites include delicate, dark centred anemones, full, soft ranunculus, elegant tulips, frilly double lisianthus, and sweet smelling freesias and stock, all of which ... View the Post
