Well here we are at the begining of November the flower ladies have been busy all summer. We have visited many fabulous venues and met some amaising couples whom we have arranged wedding flowers for.

The big news though we entered the national Wedding Industry Awards and today we found out that we have been shortlisted for the regional finalist in the florist section.  Now we are really excited the flower lady made a video for the first time and had to load it onto YouTube that was a task not sure if it worked though. The flower lady is not very good with gadgets!

Now we need to keep busy with christmas goodies until the regional winner is announced at the end of November.

Keep watching new photos will be added.

Just a little button hole or two.

 This weekend the flower ladies will be at the wedding fair at Woodhorn Museum in Northumberland a very different venue.  The theme is sensory encouraging the brides and grooms to use their senses.  The flower ladies are using smell and touch we are making button holes on our stand.
Find us at Woodhorn on Sunday 14th October
The beautiful Blue Curiosa rose with blue Delphinium and Arabicum.

Eshott Hall

The simplicity of a vase of flowers and a mirror. our vase filled with the gorgeous Norma Jeane rose, Eustoma, Delphinium and Eucalyptus is placed on a table in the ball room at Eshott Hall in Northumberland.
You will find our flowers on display this Saturday 13th October at Eshott for their wedding open day.  If you are really lucky you might even see the red squirrels playing in the grounds.

All the lilacs and pinks combined with herbs.   we used tin cans covered with ribbon, hessian and organza and finished off with pretty buttons.

Hulne Abbey

The flower ladies have been incredibly busy this summer hence no blogging. We have met some lovely brides and grooms and arranged some gorgeous flowers. This weekend the flower ladies are off to the fabulous Hulne Abbey within the Alnwick Castle Estate in Northumberland. The flowers are looking good a selection of blues, purple, pink and ivory. Our flower selection includes Stock, Delphinium, Lisianthus, Scabious and the gorgeous Norma Jean scented rose. One of the team is down with a poorly back so we have brought in our new recruit, our young apprentice. Pictures to follow I hope when I work out how to do it from the new gadget.

Congratulations Laura and Andy

Newton Hall

Well the flower ladies are back.  We have had a long absence just so busy.  Posting the pictures from our Newton Hall and Guyzance Hall weddings this weekend later on today.  Make sure you come back and check it out.

Eshott Hall wedding open day.

The photos just in, the flower lady has had a busy Sunday preparing and setting up the flowers for the tables at the open day.  The table runners and chair sashes from simply bows were simply stunning.  Unusual and different from the usual organza.  I hope we did them justice with the flowers.
The chairs were decorated with a single green Cymbidium Orchid with a lilac hint to the petals and a string of pearls from our vintage collection.

The top table the flower lady decorated with her signature collection of small cut glass vases and two low long glass vases with a collection of Roses, Hyacinth, Carnation and Lissianthus in shades of lilac and pink to compliment the deep lilac and gold table runners placed vertically instead of horizontally for a stunning effect.

 A posy of off white Avalanche Roses with Hyacinth pips and contorted Willow contained in a mirror sided cube, set on a linen table runner patterned with pink roses.

 

 The flower lady feeling a bit peckish has used fruit in the arrangement to compliment the gold themed table complete with gold quilted effect runner and gold charger plates.  The famous grand Prix Roses, Empire Apples, Lime and kiwi fruit for a taste of the tropical.  There is aways a good use for a glass cake stand this time to elevate the 3 wick candle.

 The duck egg blue accessories lend themselves to pinks, creams and peach.  A bowl of pearls to add a lavish feel, Peach Avalanche Roses, pink Lissianthus, single pink Carnation and unfortunately for the flower lady artificial white Hydrangea never normally used but in this case to get the look it had to be used.  The flower lady much prefers fresh.

The end result complete with the beautiful chandeliers in the ball room.

December weddings

Well here we are at the end of the wedding year we have only had two weddings in December the first was Nichola and Ben at Eshott Hall in Northumberland.  It was a very frosty morning we nearly did not get the van up the hill from the A1 we were slip sliding around but a bit of gravel on the side of the road helped us out.
The chosen colours we red and gold but not christmassy.
We used tall gold candleabras hired from an events company at the base was a large ring of winter foliage, large  Grand Prix roses, hypericum berries in red and green and some contorted willow twigs.
The hall way was set with an enormous real christmas tree, the end chairs had a long stem rose in the centre of each bow and to top if all of we hung a large bunch of Mistletoe in the doorway.
