Comment   

We know that Christmas is a very grand festive carnival. I selected some Christmas party dresses here, as I like them all. Everyone knows that day should different as usual. We wear different style clothes, eat different food. And we will give the best wishes and regards to our dear friends, colleagues and relatives. But the most inspiring thing to me is to show my new look that day. Do you? I love these types: long evening dresses, mermaid prom dresses, off the shoulder dresses, and i want to choose some dresses for mother.

 If you have not prepare to buy any kind of clothes at this time of the year, you should think now and act timely when you see my article. Just as the Christmas poem says:
Christmas is a special time
To give, to serve, to love
It isn't just about yourself,
But others that you think of.

For your dear friends and relatives, you need to think what they think and buy what they need. Especially, the most beautiful and elegant woman in your family: Mother . Buy her the newest fashion dresses. She must be very happy.

I'd like to share what i love with you, my global friends.

Poem Thanking Mom For All She's Done
For all of the presents
You put under the tree,
For all of the times
You picked up after me...

Yellow wedding bouquets

Yellow wedding bouquets

Comment   

Thursday means it is colour day and today we look at ways to have a yellow themed bouquet.

Yellow is getting more popular over the years as bride's are wanting 'something different' and going for more vibrant colours.

We start off with a spring favourite of mine, the humble daffodil. Some florists won't entertain this flower because of the sap, but treated right and prepared well it won't be a problem. These bride and bridesmaid posies looked fabulous against navy dresses.

Love narcissus? Go with a shower bouquet of scented spring loveliness with a few ivory roses to tone down the yellow.

Another spring bouquet, this is gorgeous yellow double tulips, white hyacinths and cream roses, another scented posy.

Love tulips? a long posy of mixed white and yellow blooms are perfect for a spring wedding .

For a bright May wedding what about this gorgeous posy? Yellow lily, tulips and chrysanthemums with fern.

Or maybe you are a gerbera fan? These cute posies of gerbera and white september daisies and fern

or just gerbera are perfect for your maids.

For a summer wedding you can't go wrong with bright yellow sunflowers!

Team either with a cloud of gyp

or go with dark green foliage to set off the blooms.

Sunflowers and daisies are another popular choice.

For your smaller maids how about a single sunflower bloom?

Love daisies?White chrysants, September daisy and Chamomile mixed in with yellow sol and spray roses makes a pretty summer bouquet.

Chamomile daisy with craspedia is perfect for a light posy for your maids

add in green succulents for a modern twist on your bouquet.

Cute craspedia posies for the little ones to carry.

For a glamorous bouquet try yellow calla lily and craspedia with ivory roses.

For a more formal day a teardrop bouquet of yellow roses, white freesia and if a hint of blue is required triteleia flowers with fern.

A classic posy of ivory and gold roses with Veronica, stephanotis and foliage.

Or a mass of yellow roses with a collar of deep glossy green foliage and wild bear grass

Roses and freesia an old but classic combination for a wedding.

Modern colour combinations, purple and yellow with lots of herbs for a scented posy for the maids

and bride

Same colours, no foliage, a cleaner style with roses, gerberas, eustoma, september daisy and trachelium.

add in blue to the mix also works, yellow roses, purple calla, blue hydrangea.

Are you having a wedding around the colour yellow? Having a secondary colour? Let us help you to decide on the flowers. Hopefully this post has given you lots of inspiration for this often overlooked colour. Be bright, be bold, perfect for a spring wedding (lots of spring flowers are yellow) or for a summer do there will be lots of summer sunshine (even if it does be a typical British summer day).

Book in for a consultation and let us walk you through the planning of your flowers.

Continuing our look at local venues, today we feature Branston Hall. We have set up here many times over the years, unfortunately photos have got lost in time, and we haven't been back as regularly as we would like. A fabulous venue with different set ups for the size of your day.

A few of the more recent set up we have styled.

The ceremony table placed in the centre of the back wall with the lovely mirror behind will be the focus of proceedings. A gorgeous long and low design in your style and wedding colours makes the perfect addition to your vows.

Fram that with our lovely bay trees, dressed to match your colours, whatever colour you choose.

The view on signing the register.

Bay trees make perfect additions to the entrance or start of the aisle

For you guest tables, the ceiling isn't particularly high and we have more often than not created low designs for these tables.

Beautiful striking fishbowls of blue flowers and a candle for lighting as the day turns to the after party.

Gorgeous country crates can be filled with all sorts of prettiness.

Keep it simple with gibers in a short lily vase

or add to an oversized fishbowl for a dramatic design.

Small flower balls on lily vases add height to the tables without being over powered in the room.

We have many more suggestions for your ceremony or reception set up and would love the chance to talk you through the options.

If you are getting married here or any similar venue please get in touch to discuss starting your flowery journey with us.

Meghan and Harry: we are in love

Meghan and Harry: we are in love

Comment   

''We're two people who are really happy and in love''. Meghan Markle has been speaking to Vanity Fair magazine and, boy, is the world taking notice. Almost a year on from the confirmation of her relationship with Prince Harry, Meghan has been talking about their relationship and everything in this regal garden is looking really rather rosy. Do the ironing now, 2018 looks set to be a really busy royal year.

In Vanity Fair's October cover story, @MeghanMarkle opens up about living in the spotlight, starring on @Suits_USA, and her whirlwind royal romance: "I think it’s really simple. We're two people who are really happy and in love." Photograph by @therealpeterlindbergh.

Meghan is featured in the October edition of the magazine under the headline ''She's Just Wild About Harry'' and she really is. As well as declaring their love for each other, Meghan confirms that the couple started dating in July 2016 and that the first few months of their relationship were pretty hectic as she was working non stop while the couple hopped across oceans to see each other. But she is very clear of where they are now. Harry is called her boyfriend in no uncertain terms and she tells the magazine that this is ''our time, this is for us'' before adding ''it's part of what makes it so special, that it's just ours''.

And Meghan also drops the biggest hint yet that you need to get that bunting ready for 2018. She says ''I'm sure there will be a time when we will have to come forward and present ourselves and have stories to tell...''. Yep, I'm taking that as a preview of an engagement press interview, too.

The interview is accompanied by some gorgeous photos by Peter Lindbergh and there's plenty of chat, too, about Meghan's career and her charity work. She's also quite frank about the issues, including racism and sexism, that she's faced. The whole piece leaves the reader in no doubt of two things. Meghan is very much her own person with strong opinions and a streak of diplomacy that even that most matriarchal of Windsors, Queen Mary, would find deeply appealing. And she and her prince are very much a couple who will make the future their own when they're ready. But no one can read this and not decide that that future is definitely together.
