These pretty pink posies, sugary and sweet, remind me of a candy shop. The blushing bride you'll be with an ultra feminine rosy posy. How can you resist!

A 1950s theme wedding

Becky and Andrew tied the knot this weekend in a gorgeous vintage 1950s inspired wedding. The ceremony was held in the fabulous Hollywood cinema complete with axminster carpet and traditional cinema seats ( lots of amusement for the kids). Becky decorated the room with huge paper flowers and ribbons, a whimsical touch which really added to the theme of the day. The reception was equally stunning with vintage plates and cut glass vases filled with old fashioned blooms. Becky, a florist at Roses, looked absolutely stunning as a modern 1950s bride with a filled to the brim bouquet in lemons,creams and white. Here's a peek at some details from the day. More photos to come.

A lovely lemony treat

Always a favourite, these delightful tree paeonies are on their way! From now until the beginning of November we'll be filling wedding bouquets with these romantic old world blooms. Coming in a range of hues from dusky pinks and apricots to crisp whites and lemons.

These romantic bridal bouquets are a mix of lemon tree paeonies, de la creme roses, fragrant stephanotis and cymbidium orchids, just the right thing for a spring bride.


 

First Tee Charity Event

a FLORAL theme for Garnier

Recently we were asked to compliment a new range of Garnier products with some floral theming.
Garden of Garnier was the brief, and here is what we did for the launch of these new products.
Spring is in the air as you can see with the gorgeous blossom used.
We were also asked to do a floral demonstration, to give invited guests some inspiration, and to show you don't always need loads of flowers to create a great look.

Colour Inspiration GREEN

From the forest floor to tropical isles to your own backyard, it's good to be green!
Usually used to compliment colourful bouquets, we like to see masses of green getting the attention too.  At this time of year cymbidium orchids are in good supply, the vibrant limey greens will freshen up the place. Hellebore or winter rose is in abundance, display in ceramic jugs or enamel for a romantic cottage garden feel to your home.  For an elegant look,  handfuls of moss can be used to cover the base of potted orchids or amaryllus plants.
The wonderful textures of gorgeous green flowers and plants will compliment all kinds of interiors, it is both restful and energising and a delight to have around. We love you GREEN!
