Wedding Fair October 27th 2013

East Sussex National wedding fair

Sunday was spent exhibiting at the East Sussex National wedding fair.

The event was quite quiet, probably because of the predicted weather forecast, gale force winds and rain.

It was a pleasure to meet those that braved the weather and the power cut and show them examples of work.

Take a look at the gorgeous colours: Vuvuzella roses, Vendella roses, Sweet Avalanche roses, Astilbe, Scabious Stellata, Hypericum, berried eucalyptus, Gladioli and several more.

September wedding

Last weekend I created flowers for a couple who were getting married at Hendall Barn, nr Uckfield. It's a stunning, rustic converted barn. The choice of heather in the brides bouquet and table jugs worked very well with the 'Memory Lane' roses.

Spring weddings 2013

Recent Spring weddings

It's been a busy few weeks with some wonderful wedding flowers being created.

Locations have included a gorgeous country garden setting near Bosham, West Sussex and the prestigious Newick Park Hotel, Newick, East Sussex and Buxted Park Hotel, nr Uckfield, East Sussex.

It's so inviting as a florist when you get to create from the wonderful seasonal flowers that Spring and early summer bring. Scented peonies blush with antique roses and fragrant sweet peas combine stunningly with vibrant hydrangeas.

Vintage and lace!

Shabby chic for Buxted Park Hotel, May 2013

Perfectly subtle shades of pale pink were combined with seasonal ranunculus and a touch of gypsophila for that shabby chic fashionable look. Stunning!

Cowdray Park Ruins, Midhurst, West Sussex

It's so uplifting when stunning flowers such as peonies start coming into season and combining them in such a way to create vintage, natural bouquets.

The bride and groom chose a mixture of tall lily vases and rustic birdcages for the table arrangements. Both complimented each other with the choice of flowers.
