Ever get that feeling you should change things around? Thought I would try something different… Been a chilly old week, but I was in Oslo last week and that’s even colder! Hope you like the photo’s, a little mix up is never a bad thing. Regional Short-list for these awards comes out this week and we are…
I’ve been meaning to write this blog for a while and am genuinely conscious of this not being too weird a write up, but…… I came across Mark Niemierko about 3 years ago when a friend mentioned she had seen his work online and I should have a look! Now I am not a wedding planner by any stretch…
If someone asked me what inspires us in our business I would say people. Sounds very simple but it is the Brides & Grooms that we spend time with, the customers who let us help them celebrate special moments and the flowers that we arrange for some very difficult occasions. The flowers to the left were given…
Well, I’m sitting at my very untidy desk eating a bit of leftover sausage-roll from here and have a nice mug of herbal tea on the go. The sun is shining and I’m all prepared to write!I can’t believe October is here and as much as we British do moan about the weather, I can’t help loving…
Monday Now I know this is not flower related in the slightest, but I couldn’t resist! My nephew turned five last Monday and announced that he wanted a dragon cake for this birthday – Ala Narnia style?? Well, I realise this one doesn’t look remotely scary and maybe a little tipsy but I had great fun making…
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…
Now, it is actually quite comical that I’m reviewing Young Blooms summer of weddings when we have just been forecast the hottest two weeks of sun yet to be experienced! We have seen the whole scope over the last couple of months! Everything from hale-storms to thunderstorms, torrential rain to blinding sunshine!! A very happy couple But…
Monday I couldn’t resist adding this photo in, only because we allfell in love with the roses! These were the gorgeous Colombian roses called ‘baronesse’. Alas they have no scent but their style is pure cottage garden! Tuesday Now don’t all fall over in shock but this lovely man (who of course is my husband) waltzed into the house…
It is incredible these days how much inspiration there is on the web for planning your great day! I have my top five blogs that I love to catch up on, I keep an eye on what people and other businesses are doing on twitter and I love to check facebook and to see whats happening! The rather fabulous thing is that…
I’m so proud of the work that is put into each wedding that we do, starting with an early morning run to market, the flowers are brought back and conditioned, sunk deep into water they have a nice long drink before we begin to put them into arrangements. Whether it’s bridal bouquets or table-centre’s we…
