Build up...

..we always try to make a really attractive display of the flowers....it takes a bit of moving about and rearranging.......we are florists ..take it for granted we  over order our flowers!!

our much loved vintage workbench..groaning under the weight of it all......

This week we have metre high callas......cloony rannunculus...as big as a rose....muscari...lillac...clematis....stocks....dill....spray garden roses....fritillaries....all the usual suspects and a new gerbera which is in disguise as a dahlia.

Hope you all miss the bad weather and have a great weekend..x

And so it begins...

Monday the 11th of March, the day after Mother's Day. I can't believe it!

Mother's Day was crazy! We thought we over ordered on our flowers but on Saturday afternoon at 4 pm we had sold every single flower in the shop! We had to go to our wholesalers on the Sunday morning to get some more!

The mums in and around Hungerford have really been spoiled!

So as you understand we haven't really been able to blog, but we managed to take a picture of two....

Not to forget the lovely wedding we did! Many congratulations Rebecca & Matt!

And this morning we had even more excitement...

The preparations to get the garden ready for sowing and planting have begun!

September wedding weekend part one

Mid September saw us in wedding frenzy......

Number One was at the amazing Cain Manor, part of the Bijou wedding group, a beautiful Elizabethan Manor House was the venue....  

white, peach and pale pink combination...gorgeous ice-cream colours..

 frothy gypsophila added lightness, the bridesmaids bouquets were simply this tied with white ribbons..

 Lauren's bouquet..thank goodness for her brilliant photographer Nicola Rhodes at K & E Photography to get a decent picture of it.....
