Spring Wedding

Hey!  With all of this dull dreary weather, we wanted to brighten your day with a touch of spring.

By the time it gets to January, us florists start getting a little excited when we see the tulips appearing at the wholesalers and along with these an array of bright and colourful blooms that remind us that Spring really isn't that far away.

We have put together a bridal bouquet and a choice of buttonholes with sweet scented Lilac, Christmas Rose, and fragrant Muscari.  A simple mix, but a very elegant one - don't you think!

A newbie in town!

Each month on Facebook, we do a Pick of the Bunch design using only seasonal flowers for that particular month.  November is not an easy month to do, as the availability of seasonal flowers is scarce and to be honest a little drab.

However, when we went to the wholesalers yesterday, we were introduced to a relatively new cut flower on the market.  The cut Cyclamen.  It's gorgeous!  It is slightly bolder but very similar to the sweet pea and it lasts for two to three weeks.  Unfortunately, it doesn't have a scent like sweet pea but the fact that you are able to get your hands on a beautiful flower such as this during the dreary winter months is a bonus!    So this November, our pick of the bunch was not so difficult after all. 

The cut Cyclamen would make a wonderful wedding flower, even if only used on its own; available from October through to February.  



We teamed the freshness of the Cyclamen with the bold leaves of Senecio New Look and a few tips of Clematis Freckles.  Clean, fresh and a flash of pure white on the dark long days of winter.
