Flowers, Photos and First Encounters...

As some of you may remember, not so long ago The Flower Shop were asked to provide flowers for a photo shoot at The Grove Hotel, Hertfordshire and what a pleasure it was too! From my understanding the photographs are required for a new brochure of theirs. Apologies for the delay in sharing the photos with you as I thought I would wait for the professional ones taken, alas they are not yet available and I cannot wait any longer!

So here goes... we decorated a whopping 31 bowls for The Grove's function rooms and here are just a few in the Watford Shop all ready and waiting for delivery...

The Grove Hotel hosts a number of function rooms which are diverse and flexible in nature. Their luxurious rooms allow for numerous layouts and set ups and act as a glorious back drop for fabulous decorations and flowers.

The Amber Suite is a large room and is truly versatile. For this we arranged fishbowls containing bright, bold and colourful flowers. A striking mix of red Celosia, Orange Roses, Clematis, Blooms, Calla Lilies and fabulous purple Vanda Orchids really stand out!

In contrast to The Amber Suite, The Ivory Room is a perfect venue for exclusive dinners and an intimate wedding so for this room we swayed more towards pretty pinks and purple shades for a softer, summer arrangement. Wonderful English Hydrangea, Eustoma, Roses and Alchemilla Mollis make for an attractive table centre.

As stated on The Grove’s website, the Donneraile Room is ‘an exclusive meeting venue in the heart of their 18th century mansion.' It truly is a beautiful room and can walk hand in hand with The Garden Room. 

On this occasion, Dutch white and green Hydrangea arranged with Thlaspi make for a super smart and sleek table centre!

So who were our first encounters with recently?! Well let me enlighten you!... Sunday 13th was an absolute pleasure. We at The Flower Shop were asked to prepare a candelabra arrangement for AIP Events to exhibit on their stand at The Pillar Hotel, North London. A great meeting to celebrate AIP’s upcoming events, the likes of weddings and Bar/Bat Mitzvah's! 


Perfect purple flowers were requested to represent their company colours! The likes of Hydrangea, Brassica, Trachelium and Vanda Orchids were our choice with a splash of lime to bring out the colour! Beaut!

Next stop was today at The Luton Hoo Walled Garden and how fabulous it was too! (http://www.lutonhoo-walledgarden.co.uk/news_2.php). A repeat request from AIP Events for a purple candelabra arrangement to exhibit at the wedding fayre was the order of the day and lovely it was too! A few new purple flowers popped into the mix, the likes of Roses and Clematis alongside the inclusion of wonderful purple Hydrangeas, Brassica and Vanda Orchids! Magnif!

There are many more fabulous events to share with you such as a private function at Fortnum and Mason and flowers for The Grand Order of Lady Ratlings Annual Ball at Gibson Hall so keep your eyes peeled folks!

Over and out for now,
