Feeling Spring like yet? Well I’ve just loaded up the log-fire and made a cuppa, the hound is sleeping beside me and I’m very tempted to wrap myself up in a quilt while I work but I’m resisting the temptation and remaining positive. January can be a hard month to remain positive and encouraged, but…
Still can’t quite get my head round the new year, though it is only the 3rd January so I’m not feeling too bad. Are you excited for 2015? Have you got great adventures planned? We are planning our first wedding fair to be hosted in the grounds of Hartley farm, but before that we are heading…
I believe the song carries on with ‘my true love sent to me, two turtle doves….’ I’m not entirely sure how they would arrive but I think I may change it slightly to ‘A fabulous Christmas Door wreath’, is that allowed? How your Christmas preparations are coming along? So far I’ve managed a Christmas tree…
December is here and you know what that means! Everyone’s catching Christmas fever. I’m not quite there yet… I have a few symptoms; a slight case of Christmas cheer, the odd outburst of seasonal songs and an increasing urge to cover everything in tinsel!

Do you ever look at wedding photos from years ago and cringe? You know which ones I mean, in the 70’s and 80’s? With the big frilly peach bridesmaid dresses and equally large perms to go with them? Our parents tell us they were the height of fashion at the time and we can’t possibly…

It’s easy to get stuck in a routine and floristry is no exception. Although your materials are constantly changing, the way in which we present them can get a bit samey… Vases can be expensive and unless you’re lucky enough to have several bunches of flowers on the go then they’ll end up gathering dust…
It’s official, we’ve put it off for long enough… Summer is over and Autumn is upon us. But it’s not all doom and gloom, I never need too much encouragement to don my warmest woollies and stay inside in front of the fire but with the change in weather comes the beautiful changes to our…
I think I can tick last Friday evening off my bucket list! I attended the Wedding Magazine Wedding Blog Awards 2014 at the Savoy Hotel in London. The hotel is everything you want it to be from the glamorous and elegant entrance to the amazing flowers in the foyer to the incredibly helpful staff who were…
I couldn’t resist sharing the photos from this Summer wedding, the Brides family lives just round the corner from us at Hartley Farm.
