Seemingly one of the mildest winters on record, this topsy turvey weather is confusing all the plants in my garden.  My Jasmine climber started to flower again just before Christmas, I still have flowers appearing on various varieties of Pelargoniums and my Honeysuckle started flowering a couple of weeks ago!  All lovely, but what will happen when the inevitable frost and snow eventually

Holly and Ivy Door Wreath I love this time of year when I'm greeted by the familiar Christmas pine fragrance every time I open my workshop. I get great pleasure making wreaths, whether it's for a wedding, funeral or Christmas, they all have the same sentiment - the circle of life. A tradition thought to have started in ancient Rome, Christmas Door wreaths are formed in a circle to signify

Thanks to all the brides who stopped by our stand last Sunday at the Brighton Racecourse Wedding Fayre.  I collaborated with Fay Miller from Pink Rose Cakes to showcase some new designs and ideas for wedding flowers and cakes. There was a bit of a beach theme going on with the flowers! Opting for the recession-friendly carnation, and blocking hot colours to demonstrate that the humble carnation

I recently visited a friend who has upped sticks and moved to Basel in Switzerland.  Beautiful city.  Fabulously clean. Fantastic flowers.  Oh, and lots of sheep (although they weren't actually in the city)! There are flowers everywhere, whether on one of the many, many fountains, in the windowboxes of just about every building or in the daily market.  I was particularly taken with the

Here's some ideas for a late Spring wedding, using a mix of seasonal flowers and foliage and some old favourites which are available all year round. A popular request for this year, a romantic over the arm bouquet using strong contrasting colours and super fragrant Eucalyptus.  This style of bouquet suits a slender cut dress and great for taller brides.   A small hand tied bridesmaid posy

The British Asparagus season is fast approaching and I can't wait until May to buy the first delicious tender green spears and make my favourite recipe.

These orange Tulips have been 'teased' open to reveal the lovely lilac stamens, arranged in a small galvanised bucket and finished with sphagnum moss. I love these really pale yellow British daffs which are displayed in a vintage Wedgewood Coffee Pot - simple but effective. Roses are always a favourite, these vibrant orange long stem roses will look stunning on their own in a beautiful tall

Seems the rustic country wreath is the most popular this year. All natural woodland evergreens gathered locally. Mossed wreath base decorated with fresh fir branches forming a circle to signify eternity and represent happiness and luck for the coming year. Each wreath is designed to be hung outside on either your office or home and last well into the New Year.

  It's official, carnations are making a comeback! Regarded as a poor relation and relegated to station forecourts, the carnation is now appearing on designer dresses and hailed as a versatile long lasting bloom by America's queen of good taste, Martha Stewart. Teamed with spray roses and fragrant foliage, they continue to be the perfect bloom for a simple country summer wedding - I wouldn't be

Picked up some gorgeous old fashioned garden roses and pretty Mimi Eden Spray roses this morning for Caroline and Elliott's wedding on Saturday. Also, 150 stems of White Gypsophila. Gyp has been out of fashion for many years, used abundantly for weddings back in the 70's, it is now making a comeback following the current trend of Vintage style weddings.

In my experience, it is true that florists are never given flowers as a gift! Until I decided to become a florist in 2003, the usual birthday, thank you or anniversary gift would, nine times out of ten, be a bunch of flowers. Once I'd qualified they stopped. . .  chocolates, books, wine, anything but flowers - why? I love flowers, that's why I decided to become a florist. Just because I'm

Since ancient times, Bridal flowers have been an essential part of the wedding. Different flowers had different meanings: lilies for virtue, tulips for love, irises for warmth and affection and a range of emotions and values for the many different colours of roses.  Generally, wedding flowers are used because it is believed they help protect the bride from evil spirits that intend to snatch her

Had they still been alive, last month would have seen the 62nd Wedding Anniversary of my parents.  Over the weekend I was reminded of their special day back in 1948, when I came across some black and white photos of the event. They married during the period just after the 2nd World War, in a small village in North Yorkshire, when times were hard and Britain was still recovering from rationing.

Unsure of what flowers to have, who should have them and which ones to choose?   Gone are the days when the bride carried only white flowers up the aisle!  You can get married wherever you like and have whatever you like in your bouquet, on your tables, at the venue or in the church.  It's completely up to you. A mood board is always a good starting point, to create an overall theme.  I recently

Early start to prepare 8 large bubble bowls which are going to be the centrepiece on round tables at the restaurant for Victoria & Wayne's wedding on Friday. Each bowl has pebbles placed in the base - aptly themed as the restaurant overlooks the sea and Brighton's famous pebble beach!

It's always a pleasure to work with classic summer wedding flowers and when I met up with Emma last October to discuss her wedding in July this year, it was refreshing to be asked for simple, unfussy fragrant flowers. White roses have a special place in Emma's heart, she chose a simple hand-tied bouquet using Avalanche roses intertwined fragrant freesias, and red freesia weaved into her hair

The Engagement It is traditional for the man to ask his future father-in-law's permission for his daughter's hand in marriage, however, it is more common today that the couple get engaged and announce to the parents afterwards. If permission is sought, merely a formality. It is still customary for the groom to pay for the ring, but it is rare for the groom to choose the ring prior to proposing

The earliest Mother’s Day celebrations can be traced back to the ancient Greeks.  During the 17th century early Christians in England celebrated a day to honor Mary, the mother of Christ, and later included all mothers.  Named Mothering Sunday and celebrated on the 4th Sunday of Lent, this day honored all mothers in England. During this period the underprivileged classes worked as servants for
