A beautiful find

We attended a wedding event last Thursday put on by Fosters event catering at the rather beautiful Kilver Court. It's a magical place, with a dovecot that is quite scrumptious. You can seat 6 people inside and then have an extra 30 outside!

The event was held in the 'Jardines' ballroom, with stunning high ceiling and tall windows overlooking the beautiful gardens it's quite a fabulous find.

I loved using the vintage style birdcage for the table-centre example as it was filled with scent stocks & peonies and smelt gorgeous.

One of my favourite award winning stylists was there as well, The little wedding helper created a unique place-setting arrangement on a pair of gorgeous vintage ladders, she's a very clever lady for sure. Your'll see from the photo above!!

Couples who attended the event were treated to yummy treats from fosters and of course it would have wrong not to sample at least a couple of the canapes that went past.

Enjoy the photos and hope you have a fab weekend.

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!

Proud as punch!

Well it's been quite a week, we got the results back from the National Wedding Industry awards and unfortunately we didn't make it to the national stage BUT......

We got some of the feedback from our Brides who had voted and quite frankly we are pleased as punch!

“Laura was extremely helpful in guiding us through the process of choosing flowers, colours and different arrangement styles. Laura is very friendly and always responded to my (many!) e-mails extremely efficiently. We were blown away by how lovely the flowers we on our wedding day -they were perfect.”

“Young Blooms kept up with my ever changing demands with patience & courtesy! Grace was very helpful and friendly! On the day flowers were delivered at the exact time requested in fresh pristine condition! The button holes and bouquets were gorgeous the gift bouquets and table flowers were stunning!”

“I was absolutely delighted with the bouquets and table centres young blooms produced. They were like works of art. I gave a brief and selected the flowers I wanted, and they brought my ideas to life looking even better than I had imagined them to be. Their use of colour was beautiful- just perfect!”

“Young blooms were brilliant, they were very friendly and very prompt with their emails and communication which is a god sent for an over excitable impatient bride! The flowers provided were outstanding, I received so many complimentary comments from our guests, they were very organised.”

I could go on but our heads might explode, but we do just want to say how proud we are and pleased that we were regionally short-listed for such a delightful award and we are very much looking forward to next year.....

Buttonhole lovelies

Couldn't really resist sharing these photo's with you.
Though you can blame this rather marvellous photographer for sending me some of these.

Are you making your partner wear a pink one?
Have had some comedy moments where the Groom is adamant a pink buttonhole is going no where near his suit!
Seriously, do they not know whose in charge?

One of these beauty's will be featured in this magazine. *excited*

Anyway, I'm off to the pub (it's warmer than our house)
What are you up to?
