Lace and love!

A classic summer garden palette of soft pinks, buttery whites and creams plus some soft feathery Astilbe.  This lovely bunch has lovely delicate scabiosa, lovely bloomy pink peony,  dreamy sweet avalanche roses, Veronica, a touch of foliage which with a lush silvery grey tinge sets off the flowers beautifully. This type of bouquet can be made throughout the year, though the core flowers would change with each season. Lace and ribbon finish off this lovely country garden style.

By hook or by crook!

On these warm summer evenings why not line a drive or pathway with a shepherds crook and hang jam jars full of lovely fresh flowers. These are a great way for guiding guests to your wedding reception, or they can be used to quite literally to lead people up the garden path  to your summer gathering. They also can be used to  mark an outdoor aisle, if you should be so lucky as to be able to marry outside! As the sun sets the flowers can be swapped for candles to give a lovely gentle light.
