The sun is shining, the first brave flowers are poking out their heads in our Not So Secret Garden, and it’s finally starting to feel like spring! It makes for an excellent time to share with you these pictures of some fabulously beautiful bouquets. They are all quite different in style and colour, and we hope they’ll…
So I mentioned there would be a part three of this series, looking at planning your wedding flowers and the all important bridal bouquet! Where do you start, how do you know what flowers to use, what size bouquet should you have? All these questions are important and worth thinking about. To start us off…

I couldn’t resist sharing the photos from this Summer wedding, the Brides family lives just round the corner from us at Hartley Farm. The couple married in the local Church and held their reception at a Hotel just down in the valley beyond the village. I loved creating Jenny’s bouquet, she wanted to keep it very delicate,…
