A week looking forward

Monday

A rather lovely email popped into our in-box from one of our Groom's. He wanted to send a bouquet of flowers to his wife for their 1st year anniversary. He sent us a rather gorgeous photo which I couldn't possibly show you because it might just spoil the surprise. We are going to replicate her bridal bouquet ~ what a thoughtful Husband!

Tuesday

Tuesday is the day for stocking Hartley Farm-shop up with fabulous flowers. We have a rather marvellous stand on the way in to the farm-shop where you can pick & choose your chosen flowers.










Wednesday

It's been a week of birthday bouquets! We had an order from New Zealand, one of our Brides wanted to send flowers to her Mum in Bradford-on-Avon and that I guess is the joy of technology.Do remember you can always order online if your not able to pop into the shop.










Thursday

Thursday is always delivery day for flowers to Newton Farm-shop. We have now been selling flowers there for the last couple of months and its going to extremely well! So if you are in their neighbourhood and want to treat yourself to some yummy flowers, you know what to do.










Friday

Is wedding prep day. From table-centre's to thank-you bouquets. There is always a whole host of lovely flowers to arrange! Both the Shop & workshop are normally full to the brim of different creations. One thing I love about my job is that no two weddings are the same!









Saturday

Weekends are always meeting time for us at this point in the year. And this week is no exception, from a couple getting married on the 31st December at the ever gorgeous Homewood park hotel to a lovey summery wedding at the delightful Wick Farm. We always have coffee together in the Farm-shop, chatting about the wedding. Deciding on colours, browsing through our portfolios and seeing what the possibilities are.









Sunday

Sunday is most certainly the day for collapsing in a heap! Whether it's having a roast with friends at one of our favourite pubs or hanging out here on a Sunday morning! It's definitely a day for taking it easy!

Have your cake and eat it ~ Part 2

These  fabulous flowers certainly made a statement!

I couldn't resist adding this one in
(please note this was for my 5 year old nephew's birthday!)

Not as easy as you think to get these roses right!

An arrangement measured exactly to fit on the top!

Made by Beach House Bakery for wedding at Homewood Park

Saw this at the
& thought it was breath-takingly beautiful.

Laura is the best at cake flowers, it's the eye for detail that makes her so good!
Don't you just love the prettiness of them all, I think I might have to go and find some cake right now.......

Flowers we love...

This has got to be a perfect time to post this summery wedding, when the wind is howling outside and there seems to be far too much flooding around. So sit back and enjoy these rather fabulous photos of a truly delicious wedding....

I think these photos pretty much sum up the day, this was ONE of the sunny days in the summer and a truly fabulous one at that. James & Christie got married outside and it was glorious. I remember having a conversation with one of the staff at Homewood about what would happen if the heavens opened.... With a twinkle in his eye he very calmly said "It won't" and how right he was.

Christie had a great eye for detail and had sourced a fabulous selection of bottles and jam-jars for the tables. We used a selection of pale pink sweet avalanche roses, blousey peonies, pale blue scabious and a whole host of other delightful flowers to create that cottage garden effect. With jars nestling on piles of books and birdcages spilling out with flowers on to tables, the effect was gorgeous.

I had to include a picture of the cupcakes cause they were sumptuous  Piled high, they looked like jewels ready to pick. Made by this delightful company, I would highly recommend having a gander at their website.

Many thanks the fabulous Helen Cawte for letting us use these glorious photos.

Much love to you all
