Joanne & Pete HMS Warrior


The capstan on board was dressed with a mixed selection of blooms in white, cream and green and a selection of foliage's. This is a statement arrangement and truly an eye catching focal display on the gun deck.


The buckets at the ends of the tables were filled with a selection of flowers to compliment the capstan display.


The top table was dressed with a garland of foliage with a central display in keeping with the rest of the theme.


Marking the entrance down to the gun deck are two large displays of flowers using Delphinium and Hydrangea.

Congratulations to you both, it was a great pleasure to arrange your flowers on board HMS Warrior and may we wish you much happiness for the future.

This week we had the pleasure of a visit to the beautiful village of Southwick.
We were to arrange flowers and set up trees for a party at Southwick Estate.
The entrance was marked by two 5' Bay Trees under arranged with summer blooms.


One of my Fabulous team arranging two large Pedestal arrangements for the entrance into the Marquee. The Delphiniums were stunning, we kept the flowers to traditional  English summer blooms.


The Finished arrangement.


Large floral spheres hanging from the ceiling make quite the statement. An eye catching Focal point in the venue.




Helen & Daniel Southsea Castle


Southsea Castle was the destination for one of this weeks wedding receptions. 
Helen and Daniel had chosen a simple 50's theme. 
Bunting created out of Cath Kidston fabric, floral fabric hearts on the tables and nostalgic family wedding photos all complimented by our jars and bottles filled with pastel summer blooms.



The jars were given that vintage feel with the addition of gingham ribbons, raffia bows and string.


The card and present table all laid out awaiting gifts and notes of congratulations. The empty glass containers are for the Bridesmaids to place there bouquets in when they reach the reception.



Helen's bridal bouquet was styled to reflect an English summer garden. Roses, Dahlia, Hydrangea and Peonies are just some of the many blooms picked to compliment the theme.


We love to add the right finishing touches.

A simple tied bouquet made of Gemmas favourite flower Gerbera, with Diamante detail to the centre of the flowers and the handle, creating interest and giving the bouquet a look fit for a Bride.
