And breathe….. Forgive me
for not posting for a couple of weeks now but it has been a bumper time at The
Flower Shop! Catching our breath from the Mother’s Day weekend has been a
challenge as before, during and after have seen a whole host of events for
The Flower Shop to accommodate for! A busy time but brilliant time for us!
But first things first, a
HUGE THANK YOU to our wonderful customers during such a busy period and for
choosing us for your special gift this Mother’s Day! The Mother’s Day period was a success with
wonderful bespoke gifts being made, 5000 tulips sold, a shop full of orders to
collect and 10 drivers to help out! Which came in handy as along with our
sister shop in Watford, The Flower Shop team delivered almost 1000 floral
gifts!
Would you believe we had wedding on the Saturday too?! Beginning in St William of York Church in Stanmore and then onto Shendish Manor, the wedding was a delight! For this we created 4 pedestal arrangements, 2 vase arrangements, the bridal bouquet and bridesmaid’s posies alongside the button holes and corsages. Fabulous!

As a new week begun, there
was no time to rest and to be honest it was properly best to keep moving after
a marathon weekend! The Monday required us to cater 15 fish bowl arrangements
for The Bank of America function at The Grove Hotel. For this they required a
great mix of purple and pink Tulips! The look brilliant en mass!
A few days later and
Wednesday saw us back at The Grove Hotel to deliver 3 table centres for a
Coca-Cola function. The design was up to us as long as the flowers were red, so for this we incorporated red Amaryllis, Tulips and Ranuculus! Fresh, seasonal and
fab!
We also created 15 pretty terracotta
pot arrangements for a Watford Hospital Function held at Watford Football Club,
hence the colours of red and yellow. Don’t you just love Mimosa!
So if you’re still with me
folks, let’s step back in time, just before the Mother’s Day weekend, we had a beautiful
Spring wedding at The Grove Hotel. Seasonal flowers in purple and lilac shades were
required for an assortment of pots that would decorate the base of the Blossom
vase. It’s a pleasure to use fresh Blossom from Covent Garden Flower Market and
fortunately the weather held out so it was perfect for the day!
St James’ Restaurant, Bushey
is a lovely setting for a party. Here we decorated the room for a 40th
birthday function with pink, purple, lilac and lime seasonal flowers arranged
in mirrored cubes.

Talk about flowers fit for a
Princess!... The HRH Princess Royal in fact! We were honoured to be asked by
one of our customer to create a beautiful posie for HRH Princess Anne for her visit
to the ‘South West Herts Narrowboat Project to see the work of the volunteers
who have maintained the narrowboats.’
A gorgeous posie of lilac
Roses, Sweet Peas, Lily of the Valley and Nigella! BEAUTIFUL!
Hot off the press, an article from The
Watford Observer!

Over the next week it’s full
steam ahead with Passover and Easter around the corner as well as a fabulous
wedding coming this weekend! So keep your eyes peeled for pics! The wedding
season is starting and beginning to take pace! We are looking forward to our
new designs, new trends and stunning seasonal weddings.
If you’re still with me,
thanks for reading and until next time,
Holly :)
