A Day at the Races. . . .

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 can create impact without denting your wallet.
Available in just about every colour, carnations are a symbol of love, are very hardy and last for days!

A trip to Switzerland. . .

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 quality of the Sunflowers, although not so much with the price - just a tad expensive!
