January. A time to reflect on the achievements of last year? Yes. But it's also time to blog some of the stunning weddings from 2014 starting with this one. Alice and Grant. Not only do they have great taste they are really good friends of mine so it was always going to be one of my favorites of the year.
Saffron coloured peonies, Sally Lacock dress, gorgeous bride and groom on a tractor and a vintage merry- go-round. Blimey. You just can't go wrong!

We have also just released the full timetable for floristry workshops up until December. Some old favorites like wreath making along with lots of new workshops, Christmas table centres, create your own wedding flowers and an introduction to floristry for starters.
