I got back from holiday and was wandering around our flower garden and thought I’d be interested to see what flowers I could pick to make an entirely seasonal bouquet for a bride. So often couples come in and have very specific ideas of looks and designs that they want for their big day and…
I recently went away for the weekend with a friend of mine, we headed of to Rye and also went down to the seaside at Dungeness. You feel like you might fall of the edge of the country and its all a bit apocalyptic but we spent an hour wandering along the coastline foraging for…
