Amaranths, poppy seed and rose bouquet

2011-09-24T18:21:00.003+01:00

Sneak preview- of new website!

VEGETABLE BOUQUETS... REALLY

2011-08-19T12:27:00.001+01:00

A bit of an emerging trend at the moment. Sounds odd, but it's definitely a grower. Perfect for an eco, rustic style wedding.

collar of gyp

2011-05-23T10:11:00.001+01:00

I personally think gyp is SO underrated- I know people still associate it with the 80's, but I genuinely think it looks beautiful and wispy. I love this collar underneath the bouquet- it gives it a secret edge to it, and hides unsightly stems. It's almost like having a collar of lace.

amaranthus

2011-05-23T10:02:00.000+01:00

A wonderful example of how to use amaranthus- it looks beautiful and a little grungy almost in this bouquet. Maybe that's just the photography- but whatever, I really like it!

saw this cake and want it

2011-05-23T10:00:00.000+01:00

pretty simple really- I just think this cake looks amazing with the very simple carnations around it

Astilbe

2011-05-01T15:57:00.001+01:00

My new favourite flower! Available in a wide range of colours including lilac, pink, white and red. Generally available from June to November. It not only adds a lovely, soft accent to a design, but it's unusual too.

The Royal Wedding- lily of the valley bouquet

2011-05-01T15:17:00.000+01:00

Catherine's bouquet made mainly from lily of the valley was the perfect understated choice. Much has been made about the similarities between her dress and that of Grace Kelly's, but their choice of bouquet was also the same...

RANUNCULUS

2011-03-24T23:28:00.001+00:00

This is probably my favourite flower at the moment. It's available roughly from September to April, so just before the main wedding season which is a shame- but it's in my eyes the perfect spring flower. It comes in a whole assortment of colours- look out for the very interesting all-green, cabbage-like one!

BLOSSOM

2011-03-24T22:50:00.002+00:00

Blossom is such a natural and pretty thing, I can't understand why it's constantly overlooked for weddings. It adds the perfect touch to a bouquet- or provides a fantastical and whimsical table centrepiece.

TEAL AND MUSTARD

2011-02-24T22:42:00.003+00:00

There is a very strong trend for this colour combination at the moment, especially using the golden coloured Craspedia (see the post below for more on this amazing flower!)

LIME AND PINK

2011-02-24T22:31:00.001+00:00

This lime and pink colour combination lends a very refreshing look to a wedding- and is especially suitable for a spring or summer event.

BLACKBERRY & STRAWBERRY BOUQUETS!

2011-02-24T20:02:00.002+00:00

These are a recent obsession of mine- and I think they translate the rustic, country look perfectly!

MINIATURE FRUIT TREES

2011-02-24T17:32:00.004+00:00

I just had to post some pictures of miniature fruit trees on here- I absolutely love them indoors (especially orange trees.) They definitely add an exotic touch to any interior, and can easily be transported to a wedding venue to add an unusual and colourful element.

BULBS

2011-02-24T16:35:00.004+00:00

Plants can be a great alternative to flower arrangements for table centrepieces- and they can even be given away as gifts for guests to keep after the wedding!

FUSION FLOWERS

2011-02-12T22:14:00.002+00:00

Fusion Flowers is the leading magazine for florists, and they have just recently launched a wedding edition. At £8.50 it's pricey, but it really is worth the money- especially if you're after wedding flowers with a designer feel. Here is the cover of the latest issue, with a beautiful floral parasol!

DAISY CHAINS

2011-02-12T21:55:00.002+00:00

Speaking of flowers in hair, I was reminded of Celia Walden's wedding to Piers Morgan. The beautiful daisy-chain circlet completely epitomises this look- and daisies are set to be massive this summer as people favour a return to simple, rustic chic.

FLOWERS IN HAIR

2011-02-11T18:18:00.002+00:00

Literally one of the prettiest things you could wear on your wedding day- if I ever marry I am definitely having some sort of flower in my hair!

MOSS!

2011-02-11T17:55:00.002+00:00

I absolutely LOVE moss. I think it is beautifully simple and real, and although I don't consider myself eco, I love anything natural and green. It somehow manages to look both modern and rustic at the same time, and en masse it can look absolutely breath-taking.

LITTLE DETAILS

2011-02-11T16:41:00.002+00:00

The key to making your wedding flowers very different, but not necessarily more expensive than other weddings, is to have something slightly unusual but that everyone will talk about. The following are a few examples.

MONOGRAM LETTERS

2011-02-11T16:36:00.002+00:00

Monogram letters are huge at the moment, and I think they're beautiful!! They really personalise a wedding, whilst still looking elegant and simple.

TULIPS

I am SO in the mood for tulips right now- I think they are beautiful for weddings, and slightly unusual too.
