Ciara's Vintage Cream and Burgundy Wedding Flowers, Rhinefield House

For her wedding in Valentine's week, Ciara chose a colour scheme of burgundy and gold and a very soft,romantic vintage look for her flowers. Now we  all know what happens to the price of red/burgundy flowers in Valentines week and here is a lovely idea for introducing a touch of the colour whilst still keeping the look soft and romantic. Skimmia, a lovely little shrub with pale burgundy berry like buds that are absolutely perfect for this look.


Vintage,bouquet in creams, golds and burgundy with a touch of green.Perfect for a winter wedding, Ciara's was in February. I've used Vendela roses, skimmia, lisianthus, paperwhites (for a touch of spring and the scent) with mixed foliages. A gorgeous compliment for an all over vintage styled lace dress.


Burgundy and cream vintage styled bouquet, perfect for the bridesmaids who wore burgundy. Again, it is a mix of roses, skimmia, lisianthus and paperwhites with mixed foliages.


Winter bridesmaid's bouquet in creams - pale golds and burgundy. 


A little corsage for Ciara's little girl. Lisianthus ( because it is soft and very lightweight) skimmia, ivy leaves and asparagus fern. 


Groom's vintage styled buttonhole of cream rose, burgundy skimmia and paperwhites


For the mum's a co-ordinating pin on corsage of rose, paperwhites and mixed vintage toned foliages. 


For the remaining men, buttonhole of Vendela rose, burgundy skimmia and foliages.

And that completes the wedding party, next up are the church flowers. 

Sorry it's been a while - but here they are

Are you a sucker for packaging?

Image from here . I most certainly am, beautifully packaged goods like those above make me drool. Simple packaging too, really does it for me. Take Bonne Mamman  http://bonnemaman.us/  for example...it's those lovely checked lids for a start, then the wonderful black and white labels that look handwritten. It's not only that,  what about all the clever things that people do with the jars, once the contents, (and they are none too shabby either), have been consumed. I love the simple packaging on some of the items Jamie Oliver has for sale on his website. http://jamieoliver.com/ . It seems I am not alone in my appreciation of packaging and branding, as there is a mueseum of brands in London. http://www.museumofbrands.com/     Some more lovely packaging to entice you to part from your hard-earned cash.... Images from here . I love these bottles, sometimes you see them in designer kitchens, all lined up, and although I think it's a bit stage set, I still like it. Sometimes, it

Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort

It's Halloween Time! Actually it's still the middle of September, but at the Disneyland Resort, Halloween is in full swing, having officially kicked off the season on September 15th. It's always fun to have something new to do at Disneyland and both kids were really excited to be celebrating Halloween already. We didn't quite make rope drop today. The park opened at 8am, with Disneyland opening at 7am for Extra Magic Hours. It was 8:30am when we parked, and following our usual strategy, we started in the park that did not have Extra Magic Hours. DCA has transformed for Halloween! I love the entrance! I'm always happy to see more Nightmare Before Christmas in the parks. And there was a Photopass Photographer at the entrance taking pictures for guests too. Before we start doing rides, I wanted to make sure we do a few of the special Halloween specific things. Cars Land has been totally transformed and looks amazing. The Imagineers certainly are creative in how they ma

WDW Monday, Magic Kingdom and Finally trying the Beaches and Cream Kitchen Sink - 11/20/17

Hình ảnh
It's our last day of vacation here in Florida. Let's wrap this one up. The day started in the Magic Kingdom. But the lines! Everyone was starting their day here apparently. First ride of the day was the monorail to get over to the park. And to start the day for the parents, we get... Coffee! Being so crowded we planned our day around the rides that swallow a lot of people without having to wait around too long. Rides like Mickey's Philharmagic. And other rides like the Carrousel. Trying to make our way over to the next ride and the pathways were gridlocked. It's difficult to fathom this many people being here at once. Earlier I had grabbed Fastpasses for Splash Mountain, which is one of Ian's favorite rides back home. The logs here are a little different though with everyone sitting side by side plus the addition of lapbars. Ian insisted on sitting in the front. Please don't throw me in that briar patch. Thankfully we made it out of the briar patch unscathed too
