Floral Arch at Speldhurst


An early start to create an arch on the beautiful lychgate at Speldhurst. We had many people stop to admire it coming together and the bride and groom were thrilled - me too

A lovely wedding at Tonbridge Chapel and Hever Castle

A thoroughly enjoyable job and much appreciated by the lovely bride and groom who even texted me the following day to say how wonderful it all looked. Sigh! makes it all worthwhile.
Enjoyed using some fab english foliages- silverleaf is my favourite - for the pedestals at the Chapel and cant wait to get some photos of the bridal party. Will share as soon as I can.

A peachy day


The buttonholes
Not so often I get asked for peaches and apricots these days, but what a pleasant change....and didnt it look lovely. Thank you Claire!

Amnesia and sweet avalanche roses

Amnesia roses with majolica roses, sweet avalanche and freesia

Oh so Sweet Avalanche
These posies were much admired at Eastwell Manor this weekend. Their muted tones perfectly complimenting the girls mocha dresses. Pleased to say there were some left over to grace my coffee table too!

English Flowers




Wow! the wedding season is in full swing so I havent managed to sit down for 3 weeks. I have just been working on the most wonderful wedding. We hired in an assortment of vintage cut glass vases and jugs which were filled with english country flowers. I used the most beautiful scented garden roses (fragile and nerve racking) teamed with nigella, hydrangea, the brides favourite peonies, astrantia and scabious amongst others. The flowers mostly came from Cornwall and the scent was sublime.


I must also welcome the latest member of the team, Sugar. She is a maltese x poodle and just totally adorable. So far she is very calm and seems to have a good nose for flowers loving rubbing herself along the lavender hedge in the garden!
