Vintage peonies

Wedding Inspiration: Vintage Peonies & Mason Jars
Images from Style me pretty and pinterest

 A little inspiration for this weeks wedding. The bride and groom have given a lot of thought to all the details for their wedding, collecting mason jars and making candles and bunting. The flowers will be a mix of pretty early summer blooms with a lot of peonies. Can't wait.

Here are a few of my favourite things

Currently loving Lilac ...

 

and Foxgloves ...

and dainty vases and bottles for this years' brides ...

 

and the first tulips from the cutting garden, of which there are much much more to come.

Growth...

It's been a while since I have been able to post about life in the cutting garden. That's not to say I've not been busy doing, but it just hasn't looked like much through a lens. Well finally everything is starting to burst in to life, some waiting to be picked and others to just look pretty exactly where they are.

So it won't be long now until I can start adding home grown beauties in to all the bouquets.

And to finish March

Country flowers for the Sunset Barn open day. Cleverly forgot the camera so no pics to share.

Flowers for a photo shoot for an interior designer.

 

And preparing for Easter.

Hotel du Vin Wedding Fayre

A taster of what brides enjoyed this weekend at the Hotel du Vin wedding fayre.

Next weekend we will be at Sunset Barn in Groombridge for their first open day with lots of lovely local suppliers, come and join us on Saturday 31st March 10.30 - 3.30pm.

Phew...

So it was a busy one, my first mother's day working for myself and I am extremely happy with how it all went. Sold every last bouquet, so hopefully lots of very happy mother's around. A little taster of a few of the bouquets that hubby managed to get some pics of before they sold!

Home sweet home

I have been having such fun with a new contract for gorgeous seasonal flowers for an absolutely beautiful house, that just lends itself to having flowers everywhere and lucky for me that is exactly what she wants!

So another reason why I have been quiet of late. My next excuse for going off the radar is that little occasion known as Mothers Day! Have you remembered?? We will be at Eridge Park farm shop with lots of beautiful spring posies, perfect to spoil your Mum with.

Spring christening

Apologies for the silence of late, so many different projects going on that time just seems to run away with me and before you know it another month has passed and I've not blogged (new years resolution - failed miserably!!)

Anyway, will try harder. So to get us back on track I thought I'd share todays spring flowers for a christening. It was an early start for a Sunday but being such a beautiful morning certainly helped and how can you not be happy when surrounded by endless pretty spring flowers in blues, creams and whites.

I couldn't resist keeping a few hellebores to have in the studio.

In the nick of time

So I was little anxious with the threat of snow looming, as I had the small matter of wedding flowers to deliver! Checking the BBC weather every few minutes was becoming slightly annoying to everyone around me but I needed to be sure I wasn't going to get caught out.

Anyway, it all went smoothly and the flowers were delivered with the odd flurry of snow. The splash of orange certainly brought a flash of colour to the pics and warmed up the room at The Spa (not that it needed it, it was very snug in there), apparently orange socks were also worn by the groom, can't wait for the pics of those!

And then the snow came, perfect for a Sunday off.
