We're on Love My Dress!

Really excited to have been part of a lovely wedding that took place back in August at Gildings Barn near Dorking that has now been featured on the fabulous blog Love My Dress. This blog is amazingly popular and always has gorgeous weddings for ideas and inspiration. For the full story see http://www.lovemydress.net/blog/2013/10/1920s-1930s-vintage-barn-wedding-jane-bourvis.html

In the meantime here are some pics of the flowers we supplied... Lots more in the feature! All these beautiful photos were taken by Heather at www.brighton-photo.com

The bride wanted a palette of antique/dusky pinks for a 20's garden party vibe

We used ammi, achillea, zinnias, feverfew and astrantia among others...

The bride and her bridesmaids arranged the flowers for the tables

We love dahlias!

Yes, I'm officially the worst blogger ever. It's very bad indeed to not have posted anything for so long... We have had a really busy summer doing lots of lovely weddings and just never seemed to have a spare minute! Now things are quiet as we are winding down for the end of the 2013 season. The last of the dahlias are being picked and just couldn't resist a little post to show off their loveliness. They start flowering from mid-July and carry on until the first frosts. They come in all shapes and colours, from little pom poms (great for buttonholes) to huge luscious beauties perfect for big displays. The medium sized waterlily types are best for bouquets as they last longest. 

Bouquets from a wedding we did at Upwaltham Barns, dahlias mixed in with phlox, salvia, fennel etc

So pretty!
