Sheryl's flowers, a very pretty Spring time scheme in deep dusky blue and champagne for an April wedding at Lainston House   Sheryl's bouquet, cream roses, blue thistle, navy centred anemones, white lilac and astilbe with a touch of eucalyptus. I love the way the white lilac and anemones give the more wintery looking thistles a fresh spring twist. Bridesmaid's bouquet with more cream and ivory and a little less navy to compliment her deep dusky blue dress. Men's buttonholes of Vendela rose, thistle, rosemary and eucalyptus. Ladie's corsage of champagne rose with thistle, eucalyptus and pearl. Floral tree with fairy lights for either side of the ceremony table at Lainston House. I've used champagne roses, ivory spray roses, navy centred anemones and blue eryngium with mixed foliages and ivy trails to create this very natural look. A trail of fairy lights running through it adds a finishing touch. Natural mantle design at Lainston House using champagne roses, ivor...

As, I am sorry to say, I have not posted since last November, I have some explaining to do!  I took a break to get married myself so this is a post with a difference, these are all the little details from my own wedding. I am often asked what a wedding supplier would choose for themselves so here is where you can find out. First, I should say this was an unconventional wedding- we ran away taking just very close family and a photographer friend with us to Devon - where we got together many years ago. All things start with the dress, mine was Hadasse by San Patrick  and I loved it. This is the lace detail that skimmed the hips                                       After the husband and the dress, naturally it's the shoes !! Very, very close to a girl's heart. The feather stole behind kept me warm, being January I thought it might be wise.  Yes, I did my o...

Lovely Helleborus from the garden.  I have playing about with my new acquisition, a little milk crate with six tiny bottles. It really makes arranging flowers so simple, just a single stem in each bottle and hey presto! Simply Gypsophila. Narcissi from the garden with a wooden mushroom. Do you have a favourite container for arranging flowers in your home, I would love to know about it? Hoping you all have a fulfilling and fun-filled week, love Linda xx.
