What's your siganture...

Erdem SS13

It's London Fashion Week and as I was perusing the LFW website and came across a short bio of the designer Erdem. He quoted his signatures as 'colour, optimism & oddities'  Liked this rather fabulous description as it made me wonder how I would describe Young Blooms Signature?? Saying that I checked out his pre-collection SS13  and fell across this divine dress! Bridal?? Bridesmaid??

Imagine a gorgeous teardrop bouquet of ivory orchids against that! Absolutely stunning I think as you will see below.

This was done for a wedding in the summer, the bride wanted a compact yet elegant style. She chose the orchids as her signature for the day with her Groom having one for his buttonhole.

These photographs were took by James Green from pure love wedding photography We love his style and feel, very elegant and chic!

The bride chose a dress from one of my favourite bridal shops which is just down the road from us. Their dresses are truly divine and don't get me started on the shoes...... (very strokable Rachel Simpson shoes is all I'll say)













As a small aside, if you are reading this and have been a Bride of ours we would absolutely love it if you could vote for us in the National Wedding Awards as the voting closes soon and we are really excited to see how far we get, the link is here so please do get voting. xx

Finishing off this wedding at the Guildhall in Bath the Bride chose a very fresh look for the tables with large glass cubes which were filled to the brim with soft ivory roses and purple lisianthus. Simple & delicate was the order of the day!

Loving the weekends.....

Well, I have to say I have loved this weekend. Driving back from the flower market along the country lanes I couldn't resist taking this photo. It was a proper Autumn morning and the sunrise was absolutely stunning.

I could wax lyrical about how cute the horses looked but actually its all about the flowers!!

Three weddings this weekend and they couldn't have been more different if they tried.

I think the bouquet below was my favourite of them all, the three types of roses contrasted beautifully with the hot pink freesia and the mixed herbs added to the beautiful scent.



                                                             

                                                                                                                                                                            I know I said it was all about the flowers but amid all the hustle and bustle my delightful cat as seen below got herself into another tiff and currently will not leave me alone, so whilst I am trying to be awfully witty and delightful she has draped herself elegantly across and if I so much as moved she growls in a most disturbing cat like way!! Ho hum.....

The wedding this morning was a family affair and well and truly all about the sunflower. A gorgeous dark blue for the bridesmaids and bright yellow of the sunflowers really set the venue up for a fantastic day!!

The wedding was held at orchardleigh and we decorated the stunning staircase with hand-tie's of sunflowers and draped organza up the banister, finishing it all off with trailing ivy. Making a perfect entrance for the bride.

I leave you with a photo of the sunflower wedding cake and hope that you all have a fabulous week.As an aside, if you happen to get a chance, go to Hartley Farm and check out our front of shop cause its looking beautiful, maybe treat yourself to something lovely and floral and then try a machiatto coffee cause they yummy!! As seen below.....

Luxury is the answer.....

Well, what can I say! Last weekend was officially a belter. The new Mr & Mrs are in Bali somewhere and we are only just recovering!! It was a fabulous weekend with the closest wedding we have ever done! We walked across the field and into the marquee to set the reception up, round the corner to the Church and across the car-park to drop the buttonholes off! The bride was down a country lane and oh was I enjoying it!!

The flowers were fabulous, the Bride kept it elegant with gorgeous David Austin roses called 'patience' and trailing jasmine for her bouquet! The reception was awash with vintage green hydrangea and a fabulous new scented rose called 'Norma Jean'.

A very excited groom..

The wedding was a success all around, ask anyone at Hartley Farm  and they will look at you with a knowing smile......

Anyway I off to the pub for a happy pint......

A most bemused Father of the Groom...
