Wedding Fairs

It was a busy weekend with wedding fairs at 3 quite different venues, Blackstock Farm which has a rustic charm with the option of weddings inside and out, Dale Hill Golf Club and Hotel and Salomon's. We spoke with a number of brides and look forward to working with them to help make their big day. Below is a taster of what we had on offer:

Spring flowers and plants

I tweeted earlier in the week about the most amazing cut hellebors I had delivered, I had never seen such magnificient specimens. I put them with tuberose,white lily, Memory Lane rose, pussy willow and ginister and thought they looked rather lovely - I hope you do too:

And close up:

It seems to have been the week of the Hellebor as we had some plants in as well which looked equally lovely so much so that some have had to go home to be planted in the garden.

Talking of planting,dare I admit to only planted my tulips today, there I just did!Fingers crossed that it's not too late.

Spring has sprung!

Today I tweeted when I had just completed an order of tulips, well there's abit of mimosa and eucalyptus for good measure and said I would put a pic on the blog so here it is - a bright and cheery bunch of tulips!

Seeds

I actually planted some Orlaya Grandiflora today. I have been mening to for ages, it's probably too early or late but I am giving it go now anyway. I will sow some more next month and then directly into the ground later in the year and see which does the best. It is such a pretty flower and great for summer weddings.

Bring in the New

Happy New Year to anyone out there! I seem to be a monthly blogger at the moment which will have to change as we have a new website with a prominent blog reference and therefore I must make sure I write and download images more regularly as the idea is that the blog shows our current work.
Sooo, here are a couple of pics showing what we have in the shop at the moment which is refreshig after a month of mostly red, white ,gold and green!

Don't forget you can follow us on twitter.

December!

I cannot believe it is basically a month since I posted the last blog! I think its alot to do with twitter as one 'tweets'the blog gets over looked. Anyway last blog advertised the wreath workshops now this one is confirming the first one is tomorrow evening and then another three before the end of the week - we'll be wreathed out given there are still many to make up in the shop too.

Other news - a lovely winter wedding in Rye on Saturday with masses of 'gyp' and mistletoe, it was very pretty.

Hopefully there will be pics of the bride and groom soon as her dress was stunning.
