Wedding Show at the Holiday Inn Fareham‏

noreply@blogger.com (Ross Burrows) — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 18:18:00 +0000

We had an amazing day at the Holiday Inn this Sunday 5^th February. The event was organised by http://www.pmnweddingfayres.co.uk we would recommend their events as they are very well run and good advertising meant we had a fantastic response.

We decided on a blue theme as we get many brides in the shop asking if there are blue flowers available and this colour scheme mixed with the most beautiful fragrance of the Hyacinths and Freesias made such an impact we were thrilled with the comments from the people who visited our stand.

A great day. Great venue and look forward to the next wedding show to be held there.

Winter window display

noreply@blogger.com (Ross Burrows) — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 21:36:00 +0000

Our theme this year for our window display for Christmas is a woodland scene, complete with Reindeer and trees. The reindeer is made from chicken wire and covered in Moss. We used twigs for the antlers and the moss was sprayed lightly in brown to make it look like fur.

We think that it looks great. Hope you like it too.

Wedding window

noreply@blogger.com (Ross Burrows) — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 20:10:00 +0000

Our latest window display is a blue wedding theme. We get asked a lot about blue flowers for weddings, so this display is to give people ideas and our flower collage board shows the range of blue flowers available. Beautiful brides and bridesmaids dresses are on loan to us. We hire out the martini vase arrangements from £45.00 each. We also stock a range of bridesmaids jewellery.

Our new sympathy card range

noreply@blogger.com (Ross Burrows) — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 19:33:00 +0000

Sympathy cards have not changed much over the years. We have been asked in the past for larger cards which are more personal, so we have designed a range of cards giving people more of a choice.

We stock different wording and decoration to complement the colours of the flowers chosen or to the suit the person recently departed.

Ordering funeral flowers can be very distressing, at Rawson's we are sympathetic and understanding and can guide you through the ordering of the flowers for a loved one, friend or colleague.

Please call into the shop in West Street to see the range of Hand crafted cards and to see the different floral tributes we can provide.

Romantic window display

noreply@blogger.com (Ross Burrows) — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 19:37:00 +0000

Our latest window display features the arch decorated with ivy and glass droplets, flowers and bows can be changed to complement any colour theme.

The archway can be hired for £75.00 per day and we also hire out trees and vases for receptions at very reasonable prices.

We created a romantic theme with pink wine glasses filled with Gypsophila and bows and organza in pale pinks to complement the beautiful glass bead droplets which add interest to the archway.

Lots of people have commented on our latest display and have called into say how lovely it looks. Well done everyone at Rawson’s in making yet another great display!
