A lovely sunny day...

I am starting to think about Mothers Day looming - just over 2 weeks away! Today we had some amazing tulips arrive called black jack - a gorgeous deep purple: stunning. To pre-order any arrangements, beit baskets of bulbs, country garden centrepieces, or spring flower hand tied arrangements, please let me know as soon as possible. I shall have a few examples coming up in the next week so check back to see what goodies we will have on offer.

March Weddings...

another busy wedding-weekend in the gorgeous village of Goudhurst. Even though spring is not yet here (although today we could be mistaken!) we used all the wonderful true spring flowers. Viburnham snowball was amazing, scented stocks, and delicate freesia, all in the palest shades of cream, green and white.

The bride, Katy, had a mix of table centrepieces with long and rull arrangements with candles, and then a circular table centre filled with scented wax flower, freesia, hydrangea and white blousy roses. They did look very pretty indeed!

Love them of hate them! I have to say I love hyacinth flowers, they are so delicate and look so spring-like! the thing to avoid is to let them go over - the smell can be really awful. So beware - as soon as they flowers start to shrivel and look tired, store them away for next year!

February is nearly finished! I can't believe the first wedding has been and gone in a flash. This weekend saw us at the lovely Spa Hotel in Royal Tunbridge Wells. The bride was SO delightful. Her flowers were amazing (if I say so myself!). Anna's colour palette was pale greens, creams and whites, with a hint of silvery blue. We used blousy white and cream roses, viburnham snowball (gorgeous), scented tuba rosa and stocks, and sweet scented freesia. My dear friend Rachel was the photographer and she has promised to send a few shots over for me (I am so lucky!).

a drizzly day....

we are now planning ahead and looking forward to the valentines weekend coming up... in just a couple of weeks. This year it falls on a Monday, which is a funny day to be wined and dined, or perhaps taken out for the evening. Well, if your man needs a little nudge in the right direction for gorgeous flowers, amazing quality, and of course very reasonable prices, send him to us (or you could be cheeky and forward his email to us) and we will ensure you get some gorgeous flowers this year. Unlike other suppliers, our roses are cut just 48 hours before they reach us (some of the overseas companies cut their roses nearly 1 month ago!!!!) so when they reach you, they are just.....perfect! And it doesn't have to be just red roses, perhaps a gorgeous vintage pinks and black red hand tied, pure whites, or a delicately scented spring bunch. Your choice!

We are back to the Flower Stall this Friday, 21st January. Lots of lovely blooms by the stem, gorgeous hand tied arrangements ready to collect for those in a rush, and some spring bulbs at last. We are also now doing a range of vintage tea cup candles. Scented and unscented - making the perfect addition to the table for afternoon tea...pics to follow soon.

Christmas has been and gone....but a few pics to remember

The run up to Christmas was very hectic, and table centrepices and door wreaths were flying out. Here are a few of our favourites...
