Here comes 2012.......hopefully it will be a good year, filled with lots of lovely flowers grown in our organic garden in the Severn Vale. 2011 was a very successful year, lots of weddings at venues such as Kingscote Barn, Berkeley Castle & now we are also preferred suppliers at the recently refurbished Old Down Manor!!!! So, below are a few snippets from 2011 & may I wish you a peaceful, happy & healthy 2012. Warm Wishes Maria |

Kingscote Barn Open Day was a great success... All of the visitors enjoyed seeing the new accommodation & chatting to suppliers. We met lots of brides & hopefully gave out some useful information!!!!! We used awarm Winter colour scheme with large cymbidium orchids, hydrangea, eryngium thistle, Grand Prix roses & Peacock feathers....... |

Really looking forward to the Winter Wonderland wedding Open Day at Kingscote Barn tomorrow :) I've been really busy updating my portfolio, printing price lists, framing pictures & making up lots of lovely wedding bouquets & table centres, it's all going to look amazing & I'm sure it's going to be a brilliant day. Watch this space for pictures from the day.............. |

A stunning wedding at Eastington Hall - we used Memory Lane roses, Purple lisianthus, eryngium thistle & eucalyptus, then I used a really pretty purple berry from the garden calledCallicarpa dichotoma,common name, purple beautyberry, & is a perfect description of the fruit on this uncommon shrub. This plant is also called Chinese Beautyberry because it is native to eastern and central China and Japan. It just finished off the bouquets beautifully!!!!!! The bridesmaids wore a lovely slate grey & the bride a detailed dress with lace & crystal detail. |

Old Down Manor is a beautifully refurbished manor house which we had the privilege of exhibiting at last weekend :)  There was a Vintage Wedding Fayre in aid of Cots for Tots held at the venue & more than 500 people came through the doors!!! We were in the Piano Room & had 4 stands to represent the four seasons with Vintage accessories!!! Spring was based around pretty cut glass,with white , blue & green tones, flowers included ranunculus & paper whites Summer was an Edwardian theme, using hydrangea, roses, pretty grasses etc. |
