sugar pinks and creams

last weeks wedding was a lovely soft pink and vintage theme at the lovely Hotel du Vin. The bride carried a bouquet of white rose, bouvardia and white hydrangea. It looked so lovely and fresh.

Bridesmaids had posies of soft sugar pink and cream roses - so pretty.

and some more of that wedding

The table centrepieces were mirrored fish bowls overflowing with hydrangea and viburnham snowball, with little clusters of pretty gyp to fill those gaps. The bridesmaids posies were lilac rose with bouvardia and eucalyptus.

lots of weddings done, and still lots to do....

some gorgeous blooms are around at the moment. Last weeks wedding saw us at a private castle in Kent, just beautiful, and the bride looked stunning. her bouquet was delicate and filled with lily of the valley, stephonosis, and freesia amongst muted tones of rose and bouvardia - the scent was just amazing! The church was full of peony scent, even her lovely mother, Suzanne, noticed the scent and the flowers - and she was on another planet at that point (she tells me!)

The cake was rammed full with pretty gyp, vintage pink rose and spray roses. The cake maker did a magnificant job with the flowers, it took ages!

Thank you Anita for doing just a wonderful job, you clever lady.

Saturdays wedding at West Heath in Sevenoaks. Another lovely lady, Joanna. The roses we used in the table centrepices and bridesmaid posy were new: quick sand - the palest pinky earth tones were just fantastic. White hydrangeas - yes, even in April!

Fridays wedding was at the most beautiful thatched cottage in Shipbourne. The bride and groom were just delightful, and I have thoroughly enjoyed working with them both. Thank you to Trish and Tony for your kind words: Wanted to say the flowers were “ Blooming Perfect” absolutely stunning, a real shame they don’t last forever! From the porch, kitchen, my bouquet down to the buttonholes, which I haven’t seen the pics but hear they were presented beautifully.  You helped make our day one of the best, thank you...

what a manic weekend here! 2 weddings and mothers day gone mad! This was the busiest mothers day for most florists in the south east to date. Due to it falling a little later than previous, flowers were more reasonably priced, and much more varieties available. We saw some beautiful scented stocks, viburnham snowball, and gorgeous roses in the palest of pinks and sand shades. A few pictures from the weekend.

A filled rustic basket of muscari bulbs - what a wonderful gift to give on mothers day.

a new outlet...

for those of you in the Bidborough, Speldhurst and Penshurst area, you may have noticed some signs for a fantastic new farm shop! Juddwood Farm, Hayesden Lane. They sell their own lamb, beef and pork and have a beautiful selection of vegetables, cakes (they are gorgeous) and jams etc. They have only been open 2 weeks, but it's well worth a visit - the meat looks so impressive. I have just taken today some extra tall black-jack tulips, blue iris, scented stocks and some nice little spring bulb arrangements. Give them a try.
