The week that flew by ~ part two

I think I left my thoughts somewhere in last Tuesday and
 that much admired Spring vase I mentioned.......






Wednesday
Wednesday was a gorgeous phone-call from a customer saying how much Tuesday's Spring vase had been loved. I can promise you there were warm fuzzy feelings all around!!










                                 Thursday
The reason for the early start!
More photo's added to our facebook and some lovely comments added to it by our fabulous Brides.....








Friday
A proud (but slightly sad I know) moment when we hit 200 followers on the wonderful world of Twitter ~ Do feel free to add to this number and follow here.... @youngblooms










Saturday
You can just feel the sunshine....

An early start with glorious weather.... 



It's those gorgeous 'Miss Piggy' roses.


In an organised fashion we started on our Mother's Day campaign & it's treats a go-go. How are you treating your Mum?? Fancy some rather fabulous flowers as a gift, then start checking out our online shop for Mother's day presents.

Somewhere over the rainbow ...

Hi Laura here , the poor blogger but equally awesome florist
So Grace is on a day off and all is peaceful(and freezing!) at Young Blooms HQ and as I look out of the window to this.


Pretty good view from work .....


So I love spring flowers with the smells and colours and this last two weeks were no exception . Dave and Gabriella got married on Sat 18th of Feb with a theme of yellow and white here are some photos of South Wraxall church near Bath.

Finally a photo of a gorgeous anemone bouquet ribboned in lace, beautiful, simple and chic .

Til, next time I'm off to find my pot of gold !

A week that has flown - Part 1

I'll start with last Saturday just cause I want too.


Saturday....
Mostly involved delivering and creating two very different weddings..




.... willing flowers to open and eating VERY delicious fish and chips....



Sunday..
Thankfully the flowers opened and the bouquet was created! Peacock feathers and all!




A flea market was enjoyed though the cute little dog was the best thing there...



Monday.....
Involved cleaning the house so the less said the better...


Tuesday.....
Sharing highlights of Valentines, seriously who wouldn't say no if 50 red roses turned up at the front door. Do check out our facebook page for more delights..


Tuesday was delivering a sweet little spring bucket, which was much admired by the receptionist upon delivery....

But I think I'll save that for part two....
Enjoy your evening, mine is very much about log fires and lemsip! xx

Coral Blaze

I write this blog with heating up full & the log fire going full blaze!

I have been pondering over the weekend the colour coral!! Had a couple of meetings recently where Bridesmaids dresses have been chosen in this rather delicious coral and thought I might expand some ideas on how to work florally with this colour.

Though first I might start with dresses, reading a recent claire pettibone blog, there were some rather stunning slate grey bridesmaids dresses which I think work gorgeously well with the delightful 'Miss Piggy rose' as seen to the right.





 I was looking through various websites and stumbled across this dress from bhldn and I think for a Spring wedding a combination of  coral, pale yellow and cerise pink would work an absolute treat and could be the starting point for the rest of the wedding flowers.

See what you think of this combination.....

I think the pale yellow really lifts the whole bouquet and gives it the spring feel, though I do love the clashy pink of the ranunculus!

Just a bit yummy really...
