Beautiful butterfly

Beautiful butterfly tribute 

I was honoured to make a butterfly tribute for a lady.

The frame was based with Gypsophila, providing a light and airy texture. 





It was great to have the chance to make a wired Calla lily shower bouquet, each stem was individually wired into the finished design.

Summer2014

What a blooming marvellous summer!

Scents
Home grown flowers
Fresh herbs
Blousey blooms
Vivid dahlias
Wild grasses
and more!

The summer months provide the most gorgeous array of seasonal flowers, blowsy hydrangeas, scented sweet peas and vivid dahlias.

The venues have been far and wide, all unique and the flowers chosen selectively for each occasion. 

A taste of whats been going on!

Fletching East Sussex




A very hot day in a charming country setting, a marquee was decorated with tall lily vases filled with stunning gladioli and oriental lilies. The colours perfectly complemented the drapes of the marquee.






Hendall Barn, near Uckfield, East Sussex


A classic contemporary choice of vintage roses, amnesia, avalanche and sweet avalanche were the choice for the bridal flowers. 






Pelham House, Lewes, East Sussex


A magnificent town hotel was the chosen venue, monochromatic shades of yellows combined with scented garden roses for the bouquet with the brides chosen jugs/vases for the table arrangements.














Swallows Oast, Ticehurst


A wonderful touch, the bride provided home-grown sweet peas which were lovingly grown by her family. They were used throughout the bridal bouquet and table arrangements. The scent was divine.







Cuckfield Church and Slaugham Place



One of my favourite roses, 'Faith', a subtle vintage, rose pink, subtly scented were combined with spray roses, freesias, hydrangea heads and eucalyptus.












The table arrangements were a mixture of tall lily vases filled with pink hydrangeas, roses and faith roses. They were complimented with a lower pedestal bowl arrangement of similar flowers.












Ashdown Park Hotel, Forest Row, East Sussex


An intimate wedding at a beautiful location. Bright vivid dahlias and Milano roses were chosen amongst traditional avalanche roses.
