Seasonal Flowers

31 July 2015We often get asked for 'Whats in season?' its especially common when folk enquire about wedding flowers and as we go from one season to the next each one has its own unique traits. Colours change to pastel, subtle shades in the Spring/Summer whereas Autumn/Winter tends to show us darker, richer colours. Many cut flowers are avaiable all year round now but we still have flowers which are of better quality during their natural growing season, there are also a few flowers which are only available at certain times of the year.

Our Apprentice

09 June 2015Great news, our apprentice Chloe has gained her Level 2 City and Guilds Floristry Qualification.

We are all proud of her its not easy to gain floristry qualifications these days, there are no colleges in the Birmingham area to study at anymore.....I know I worked at them when we did !!! so she has put up with me teaching her, assessor visits every month, paperwork and ...Read More

Bespoke Funeral Flowers

23 May 2015Bespoke funeral flowers are something we get asked about a lot. Its not all about how big something is, or how much money you can spend its about making a design thats personal to you and your loved one. It may something as simple as incorprating favourite colours into a design or adding a picture or a little toy. Or sometimes it requires us to cut a frame from foam, because thats the only way to give you want you want, or copying a packet of biscuits and giving it a personal touch. No job is to big or to small. Why not take a look at some of our personalised tributes. Read More

Buttonholes !!

13 April 2015

Buttonholes, the one part of a wedding that causes more upset and fall outs than anything else. I've seen Brides and Grooms fallout over them, future Mother-in-laws throw hissy fits about them and now Bridesmaids sobbing over them. So this is my suggestion if your not rockafella and haven't got the means to buy everyone a buttonhole be sensible. Make a list of your main bridal party;Groom, Bestmen/women,Ushers, Parents, Grandparents and Siblings; then decide if they have significant others who you feel should have a buttonhole.Does one of your Bridesmaids have a partner who should have ...Read More
