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’.

It is incredible these days how much inspiration there is on the web for planning your great day!

Whether it’s bridal bouquets or table-centre’s we…
We have long been fans of the fabulous wedding dress designer Claire Pettibone and therefore were in dress heaven as one of our Brides chose a Pettibone number to get married in! The setting was a picturesque village deep in the Wiltshire countryside. Even though the weather wasn’t at it’s British best, one couldn’t help falling in love with the whole…
I have been looking forward to this moment for a long time! We finally got out hands on some fabulous cottage garden roses that have a truly blissful scent, coming all the way from Colombian they do feel terribly special! We used Yves Piaget (pink rose) & Caramel Antike (coffee coloured rose) I don’t think…
Its all in the detail! It’s been a blissful weekend of fabulous moments, beautiful friends, my gorgeous family and of course some stunning flowers. We went to the The Bath Priory Hotel for a very indulgent lunch, nothing like spending three hours over food that makes you talk. The bottle of 2009 Chilean Syrah really did help…
I was recently perusing the ever fabulous blog Love my dress and their coverage of the the White Gallery bridal design show and I came across a designer who I think almost took my breath away!
