Red wreath decorated with dried cones, berries and dried flowers, pretty enough for any door.

I had the pleasure of singing for Amy Dick-Read's wedding yesterday in @sherborneabbeydorset, with members of the @sherbornechamberchoir and it took me back to a very special day in my life just over two years ago, when I married my better half and soul mate @simon.b.vernon 💕💗 Just between you and me, I did shed a tear 💧

I wish Amy and Will all the very best and a long and happy life together ❤️

I delivered flowers to St Mary's Chapel yesterday. It's situated right next to Lulworth Castle. I hadn't been there before and it's an absolute gem.

I met Tobiah Tayo when I was setting up the flowers at the Pavilion for Gee's wedding a couple of weeks ago. Well, actually, when I say met him, my first encounters were of a strange buzzing noise above my head, which turned out to be his drone and these photos were the result. I'll share some more of this talented chaps photos in a bit. This is just a taster!

Prep is well underway for today's wedding at 10 Castle Street, Cranborne. It's a venue that we haven't been to before so I'm looking forward to seeing it.

Back in the studio, conditioning the first delivery for an upcoming wedding.

I've always wanted to make a green bouquet and then I was presented with an opportunity to do so and grabbed it.

It is a simple but effective way to deliniate the aisle...

foliage, hurricane vases and balls of gyp placed along the edge of every other chair, here at @lulworthestate.

Dani and Zayd chose classic cream and green for their flowers and married at @mapperton_estate, where we created a floral broken arch round the Coach House entrance and two further floral installations separating the dining from dancing areas inside.

May feels like a long time away during the greyness of tte winter months, but it will soon be Spring and buckets of these beauties will be filling the studio waiting to make an appearance at each and every wedding. Probably the most requested flower and one of the trickiest to use for weddings. Peonies are sold when they are tight in bud and it takes a lot of experience to get them fully open at the right time, with many not making the grade, there's always a lot of wastage.

The hellebore in my garden are flowering, which I used here in the floral crown and to me are the promise of spring to come. I like their soft greeny white subtle tones, although they also come in an array of pinks.
