July

Hello everybody! July came and went and in true British summertime style we experienced ridiculous heat followed by torrential rain. That said July for me looked a lot like this picture.

Summer Weddings

A gorgeous Summer wedding at Fredricks in Islington, a proper Summer mix of lilac and pink flowers including Peonies, Hydrangea and Roses with Mint, Lavender and Rosmary! Delicious!!

 

Special project

Last week we took part in a really exciting project, at the moment I am not able to offer any details in regards to who or what it was for but hopefully over the next month I will be able to reveal all!

As you can see from the snaps the project involved some very detailed work making letters using wire frames and glue gunning delicate florets of Hydrangea, pips of Wax flower, Nigella, Clematis, Lavender and Astrantia.

The letters joined together to form the words THANK YOU. Our tool box was full of glue guns, a fish slice and plasters! Fingers crossed we can share it with you soon.

New Business

There have been a couple of new business wins over the last month and I am really looking forward to working hard on developing those accounts and making them the very best they can be.

We started providing flowers for The Wedding Club based in Yeoman’s Row.

Originally from Birmingham the boutique has expanded and taken the London bridal market by storm. Filled with a selection of incredible designers and exclusive labels its a really special boutique. We are really excited to be working with Clare and her team and very much look forward to some gorgeous collaborations.

We also started providing the weekly flowers displays for Italian restaurant Cicchetti’s two restaurants located in Piccadilly and Covent Garden, we are thrilled to have the opportunity to work with such a great teams in two very glamorous locations.

Other things to look out for over the next month include……..

Flower list

Next week I will publish my first of a regular monthly list of seasonal flowers that were available through the previous month at the the flower market, a pictorial diary over the course of the year will act as a really useful reference for brides and myself!

Flower workshop

This Saturday (August 1st) we will be at the Standon Calling festival hosted by Salon London. We will be in the Jail which is in the main town sqaure from 1pm. Festival theme for this year is “A town of two faces” Expect flowery cowboy hats, I will share pics and news of that next week after the weekend.

I hope you all are enjoying your summer and manage to get a good break in somewhere sunny and warm, if not then lets pray for continued British sunshine!

Love
