Fabulous Spray Roses
I have always loved spray roses, specifically for their combination of fully open flower heads and tightly closed buds.
Creating flowers for a wedding this weekend, we used one of my absolute favourite spray roses, Jeanine. Their flower heads are particularly large and boast the most heavenly, soft, chalky white. For the wedding designs, we used Jeanine in the larger displays, corsages and the bride’s bouquet. This image was taken in our studio just before the flower was added to the bride’s bouquet.

Fabulous Roses
In a further wedding this weekend, Memory Lane roses were the dominant flower - a fun, vibrant dusty pink. The ’sea’ of roses is some of the designs bunched together en masse just before they were placed on the tables. The wrist corsage was for the bride’s sister, with Jeanine making another appearance!

Designer Wedding Show – Snapdragon Parties
As promised, here are a few images of our flowers on Snapdragon Parties’ stand at the fabulous Designer Wedding Show, which opened its doors today.
We used an abundance of white avalanche and akito roses, white lilac, white phlox and white vanda orchids, to create amongst other designs a carpet of flowers.
During set up yesterday we also had the chance to catch up with some of our lovely clients, including Temperley London. Their stand was beautiful as ever and they incredibly kindly gave us a copy their new book, True British – thank you lovely people, we have been engrossed all day and now dreaming of summer festivals!
We will be exhibiting at the next Designer Wedding Show, come October!

Buxted Park House – Exhibition
We have just exhibited at Buxted Park House, a beautiful venue in the middle of rolling countryside, close to us in Sussex; where we were lucky enough to meet some gorgeous brides and charming grooms, to discuss their wedding flowers.
For the exhibition we used our hand painted plinths, large urns, storm lanterns and silver rose bowls – all available to hire (the plinths and urns can be painted in a colour of your choice). We then filled the display with a rather fun, bright pink selection of eucalyptus, roses, antique carnations and gypsophila.

The Designer Wedding Show – Snapdragon Parties
The Designer Wedding Show is taking place on the 10th to 12th February at Battersea Park. It is one of the ‘must see’ events for any chic bride planning her wedding day. Described as a “luxurious oasis in which to find endless inspiration and choose every perfect detail from a beautifully curated collection of the most exquisite wedding must-haves”.
We are utterly thrilled to have been asked by the lovely and incredibly creative chaps at Snapdragon Parties, one of the UK’s leading wedding and event planners, to design the flowers for their stand. Positioned beside the Champagne Bar and boasting one of the largest footprints at the show, their stand will be an impressive sight!
Pop by to see them at stand number 76.
We will be posting images from the show later next week.

Spot The Difference – Conde Naste Brides March/April 2012
Polly Atkinson, Style Editor Conde Naste Brides magazine, asked us to create two bouquets for a feature in the current issue, one worth £50 and the other £150 – can you spot the difference?!
The photo shoot took place in the lovely Lantern Studios, Battersea London. It was such a fun day – playing with flowers, a heap of different props and catching up with the team at Brides and the fabulous florists Achilea Flowers, By Appointment Only Design, Jamie Aston and Zita Elze. See the current issue for the full feature.
By the way, the bouquet on the right is the spenny one!

Jenny Packham Bridal Collection Spring/Summer 2012
January is typically our busiest month for wedding consultations and this year is no exception. Over the past few weeks we have met with gorgeous brides, chatting through flower designs for their summer and autumn weddings.
With consultations in mind, we are seeing the most fabulous dresses, and I wanted to share my personal favourite from the spring/summer 2012 collection of the wonderful and talented Jenny Packham, also one of our fabulous clients.
Each one of these dresses requires a different style bridal bouquet. The bouquet is not only inspired by the dress, but also by the bride herself. The flowers within every bouquet we design must capture the Bride’s personality - one of the most important (and fun!) parts of our consultation.
See the full Jenny Packham bridal collection here.
