Hot pink gerberas and roses with lime berry and pink hydrangea made a gorgeous contemporary bouquet for Kerry. Modern bouquets of hot pink gerberas with grass for the bridesmaids. Lime hypericum berry, grass and foliage made lovely buttonholes for the men, a great idea for men looking for an alternative to the traditional rose buttonhole.  Modern table centres of hot pink gerberas and roses with lime berry, pink hydrangea and spires of grass to give the designs some height. Contemporary top table design of hot pink gerberas. That just leaves me to say thank you so much Kerry and Iain for asking me to design and create your wedding flowers for you, I loved working with these wonderfully bright and cheerful colours. And very many congratulations on your marriage.

I do! My mother did. She loved 1940's and 1950's Movies, she believed that world of glamour was real. Sometimes I think real life disappointed her a little. When it came to Christmas my mum tried so hard with her very limited means to make it special for us. When it comes to Christmas I always get the urge to create a magical environment, a place where anything can happen. Little corners of mystery with candlelight and reflections and frosted snowflakes. Christmas on the beach is not for me, it has to be cold and frosty or it holds no magic. I felt the urge extremely strongly this year, even though I was busy with the shop. I managed to get my living room looking a little like a Ski Lodge or Cabin in the Woods, and repainted our draughty hall a lovely rich pinky red. We had a wonderful time with family and friends and I feel revived and ready to go again. I am sorry I did not manage to post before Christmas to wish all you lovely readers and followers the Compliments of the Sea
