Weddings

Another week has passed and we are busy keeping in touch with future brides, checking all the final details. We also had a small wedding this Saturday which was very pretty with creams, ivory and a hint of blue. The bridesmaid was wearing navy blue which has proved very popular this year,we have four weddings with that colouring!

We also managed to pop over to The Wealden Times Summer Fair at High Halden which was great. I have wanted to go for the past couple of years but until we decided to close the shop at 1pm on a Saturday it has not been possible. It was well attended and sported a significant amount of 'shabby chic'ware but I did buy as I found some ideal vases for a wedding coming up later this month. I am sure they will feature in a future posting.

Weekend Wonders

I could not resist the 'black or widow' iris available this weekend. They really are an under rated little gem. They have a very short season which I do not mind as I am all in favour of seaonality and it makes them even more special. BUT they may not be around too much longer unless more people realise their beauty and ask for them. They have another plus in that they are British grown! Now who could not be tempted by all that.

And we mustn't forget the beautiful 'Bordeaux' Anemone, the depth of colour giving it such richness, it is just stunning.
