More Cake Photographs.



































Creative Cakes


I have been sitting down this afternoon looking through and sorting some of my images from the last 3 months, and noticed I have some lovely unusual cake images.

My most favourite of the year so far ihas to be this Quirky little one.


I am not usually a fan of character cake toppers, however you could not resist falling head over heals in love with this one. Every detail was astonishing. The dress was an miniature exact match, and the bouquet was exquisit. The attention to detail was amazing. It brought a smile to your face.

Everything Pink & Roses @ The Langrish House Hotel







Everything was pink and roses for Sarah and Tom's wedding last month at Langrish House Hotel, Langrish, Near Petersfield. Another lovely local venue to us here at Someflower.

The couple had their wedding reception at St Mary's Church, Buriton followed by their reception at Langrish House.

Here is a photograph of Sarah holding her hand tied bouquet of 3 different varieties of roses called Aqua, Ooops and Sweet Avalanche.

The colour theme was pinks and silvers, so we complimented the bridal flowers with million star gypsophilia, silver skeleton leaves, crystals and diamante embellishments.

These lovely photographs were taken on the day by a great photographer Ian Burnett
Ian is based in Portsmouth and has just the most relaxed but professional approach to photography. Click on the link to view his interesting website.
Also I must take this opportunity to Thank Ian for also taking time to chat with me about doing a blog. I t was something I had been meaning to do...but was a little scared about the "TECHNO" side of it all...however Ian put my fears at ease and after taking his advice and looking into his blog and a few others I decided to take the plunge and give it a go.
And here I am ...and loving every minute of it....so Thanks Ian xx

Someflowers Sunflowers @ The Tithe Barn, Ditcham












You know Summer is really here when the Sunflowers hit the flower market in abundance. Gorgeous big rich yellow flower heads with dark chocolate centres in so many different sizes are just perfect for all aspects of wedding work.

The natural impact of the flower makes fantastic large displays, but also creates a stunning bouquet for any Bride or Bridesmaid to hold.

Sunflowers are one of my favourite flowers. They were the first flowers that I grew as a child in pots and in the garden, and now each year grow with my two children. A sunflower type flower features as my company logo and the company name is a play on Sunflowers. My 2nd most favourite Paul Weller track (after You do something to me) is Sunflowers and on my website http://www.someflower.co.uk/ you will see a few photos taken over the years of Sunflowers.

So where am I going with this post you may ask??

Well you can only begin to imagine how excited I was to undertake this wedding featuring Sunflowers and Blue Delphiniums at one of my favourite local venues The Tithe Barn, at Ditcham.

The barn is a complete blank canvas when it comes to decorating and sometimes if only a few displays are required by using a striking colour combination like yellow and blue which harmonise perfectly together then you can fill big spaces a lot more effectively.

Here are some examples of the flowers we made for this wedding. To see more please visit our website http://www.someflower.co.uk/

Someflower Top Tip...Rather than pinning on an artificial or fresh flower corsage to your lovely outfit, why not put it on your handbag?









Cheryl and Andrew. Manor Barn April 2010







We were kindly sent a selection of photographs taken at Cheryl and Andrews wedding at The Manor Barn in April this year that I would like to share with you.
I will never forget that week, as all flights had been cancelled to and from the UK due to the volcanic ash.
Unfortunatly some of Cheryl and Andrews guests were unable to make their wedding day, and I was having sleepless nights hoping that thier flower order was going to arrive on time.
The flowers as you can see from the photographs certainly did arrive, and beautiful they were too. Cheryl chose dusky purples, lavender and cream in her natural hand tied bridal bouquet. This colour harmony really suited her tranquil and beautiful personality. The dusky/vintage and dusty colour pallette is turning out to be a very popular colour theme for this year.

Sarah Aires Photography:Paul and Trudi’s Wedding - The Manor Barn, Buriton



















Last month we has a wonderful couple of days in Buriton decorating St Mary's Church and The Manor Barn for Trudi and Paul. The sun just shone down the whole time and everyone envolved seemed very relaxed (even Paul who had only returned home a few days before his special day from The England Rugby World Tour in Australia).

We loved the colours and style for this wedding...it was very in keeping with both the church and the Manor Barn. You will see from the photographs that peach and coral shades were used as the main focal colour. A really striking harmony that I think is making a come back, and I hope we will see more of in the future. There was lots of peach gingham, enamel jugs, an eclectic array of jars and pots, hay bales and parasols. There were no matching flower displays, every arrangement was different and had "a just picked from the garden" look .

We used lots of seasonal cottage and country flowers which included a gorgeous new coral rose called "Miss Piggy" which you can see so perfectly in the breathtaking photographs that Sarah Aires captured of the day, along with all her other stunning images. Please click on this postings title Sarah Aires Photography: Paul and Trudi's wedding and take 5 minutes look at some brilliant images of this wedding.

Pete and Anna (18th July)

Happy 2nd Wedding Anniversary.

Pete and Anna on their wedding day at Priston Mill in Bath. It was a fantastic glorious happy day...and I cannot believe it has been 2 years already!!!

Anna had a luxury hand tied bouquet of Apple Green Cymbidium Orchids, White Akito Roses, Ornathagalum Arabicum, bare grass loops and crystal dew drop embellishments.

A simple but stunning orchid buttonhole worn by Pete. We thought it complimented his outfit perfectly. (Was it true that Anna gave you boxer shorts that matched your shirt on your wedding day-Pete?)


All Things Bright and Beautiful

A gorgeous all white classical style hand tied bridal bouquet of white roses, peonies, veronica, lisianthus and chincerinchee. Finished with beaded grasses and crystal flower embellishments.

Alison @ Manor Barn, Buriton. May 2010.
We were sent a selection of gorgeous photos from Alison this week. A lovely lady who had the most amazing vision for her wedding. Even after over 20 years within this industry, I am blown away by how focused my clients are. The colour theme and flower choices requested by Alison were stunning.
