a few pictures....just because they are so gorgeous!

a few favourites...

Here are a few of my favourites from last year. The scent of the lily of the valley was just unbeleivable, one is purely stems of lily of the valley (can you imagine the scent), the other is of scented freesia, vintage pink amnesia rose, and a few hints of the lily of the valley. I cannot decide which is my favourite...

 

and here is one of my all-time favourite pictures - just beautiful...she wasn't really cross!

that church archway...

Horsmonden Church - a summer wedding in the Kent countryside. An archway filled with the most amazing scented flowers, peony, freesia and the whitest stocks. The rain just started to come down as we got back in to the van....phew!

A summer ball of many candelabra...

20 silver candelabra - what a busy few days! all filled with pink and cream roses, hydrangea heads, spray rose, and the wonderful trailing amaranthus. All for a school ball in Tunbridge Wells - the roses were vintage pink to match the girls school uniform! Just gorgeous.

July 4th - a vintage wedding!

Here our bride had a real task in arranging her wedding flowers..... all the way from New York City! She was one of our most delightful clients (to prove it, we exchanged around 90 emails to date, and they are still coming in which is SO lovely). She wanted a vintage theme for her wedding blessing at the wonderful Chilston Park near Lenham after having had her ceremony in the US.

Her table centrepieces were a wonderful mix of tall clear vases and beautiful vintage bird cages filled with peony, blousy roses and large hydrangea heads. She was thrilled.

The Flower Stall in July

Here is a shot of The Flower Stall where we had a fantastic range of seasonal delights! The hydrangea heads were magnificent in soft green, brightest fuscia pink dahlia's to delight any vase arrangement, and some little vintage pots we made up with sweet william and spray roses - they sell faster than we can make them up! The lavenders were amazing, and nice large pots - the old fashioned Hidcote variety - they spread like wildfire!

Blooms in June!

Here was a couple of table decorations we did for a favourite client of ours. She was having a summer evening party in a beautiful "tent" in the garden. She wanted a couple of seasonal table centrepieces to put on the table - gorgeous open red charm peony, giant poppy seed heads, and the brightest fuscia pink stocks - can you believe the colours - so vibrant, for a hot summers evening!

15th May - pure vintage...

Gorgeous selection of vintage blooms, green hydrangea, amnesia rose, and amazing viburnham snowball. The bride wore a beautiful vintage gown. And here in picture she purchased these beautiful wooden boxes - with the bride and grooms name, and the date of their wedding - how gorgeous it that!
