WOW!!... 9 events last week! So grab a cuppa a read on :)
Alongside usual shop
duties and orders, we hit the ground running with 10 lovely sunflower terracotta
pot arrangements for The Grove Hotel, Hertfordshire (www.thegrove.co.uk) and a gorgeous summery vase
arrangement for the Duke of Gloucester.
Wednesday saw a
beautiful, smart, white and green wedding at The Grove which comprised of 2
pedestal arrangements, 5 low dish arrangements and 1 high arrangement specifically for the
bride and groom's table. Wonderful summer
flowers were included, the likes of peonies, lisianthus (eustoma), roses,
cymbidium orchids and alchemilla mollis.
Friday required us to
decorate a customer’s house for a private function. In the Jewish community an
Aufruf is the ceremony held on the Shabbat before the wedding so we designed
these wonderful white washed terracotta pots filled with summery, country
looking flowers to decorate the tables. A divine mix of stocks, sweet peas,
alchemilla mollis and fever few (Tanacetum
parthenium) creates a wonderfully scented mix.
How about this “hedgerow?!”… MAGNIFICENT!
Not only this, we achieved 8 gorgeous table centres for another corporate event at The Grove Hotel.
Summer in a bowl!!
It’s wedding
season! Saturday saw a stunning summer
pastels wedding! The bride required a
beautiful bridal posie made up of mostly lilac roses accompanied with white
freesia and a couple of white roses to boot, plus 21 button holes! Here are the
wonderful table centres we created……A mixture of peonies, hydrangea, cymbidium orchids, sweet peas and peach avalanche roses.
The week didn't end
there!... For Sunday we had a lovely birthday lunch at St James’ Restaurant in
Bushey where we prepared 11 terracotta pot arrangements to which the customer
requested yellow and white flowers. Yellow roses and white agapanthus were a
must!!
...And breathe…what a week! Summer flowers are truly wonderful, a riot of colour, fragrances and interest, I hope you like the update.
Until next time,
Holly :)
