Should We Have A Go?....That Is The Question.


A vintage enamel jug arrangement suitable for a table display made by a Bride and her Mum with a little help from Someflower.
Also featured here A Candle Display made by another Bride by herself.
The question is "Should We Have A Go" at our own flowers for our wedding day?...That is an interesting question.
My honest opinion is "Yes".
At the moment brides do not always have an open cheque. Budgets are having to be allocated for every aspect of the wedding. We are being asked to supply flowers and displays within an allocated budget set by the couple which we are more than happy to do and are pleased and proud to say we always achieve.
We are also getting the odd couple who are "Having A Go" at their own floral displays. This is great and a good way to keep costs down....however sometimes things do not always run smoothly so it should be thought about lots. Do you really want the stress of getting, conditioning,preparing, making flowers the week and the morning of your wedding?
I would never advise a Bride to attempt her own bridal flowers. I have been to a wedding where a bride was coming back down the aisle leaving a trail of flowers behind her because her bouquet was not made correctly-TRAGIC and VERY SAD!!! I would always say leave the Brides bouquet, Bridesmaids flowers and any large or complicated displays and decorations to a florist-that's what you pay for our experience and knowledge.
Table decorations is an area where more and more people are doing their own...and can be cost effective. However do get some professional advise before hand. Someflower has over the years opened the workshop up for a masterclass to assist people in making their own table event displays. The feedback has been very very positive.
It can make the difference in managing to achieve the WOW factor and just " having something in the middle of a table" display?? - see photographs above.
I could BLOG about the Pros and Cons all day to this question all day, and I am sure it will pop up again for discusion in the future-no doubt.
Would love to hear your thoughts about the subject.
Also please remember we are always here to help and advise anyone with any floral related questions and queries.

Where did the past 6 months go?

Found a spare 5 minutes to update Someflower's Blog.
It has been a mad and fun filled few months here. We have had lots of exciting wedding and event work on...all very different in colour themes and styles which has made our job so enjoyable and very inspiring.
As I say Goodbye to my lovely couples (who of some I have known for such a long time from initial consultation to their special day) I feel always so sad but also so very happy for them and their futures together. I feel blessed to have played a small part in their big big day. And as a couple depart another couple arrive all excited and fresh with ideas on how Someflower can create some beautiful displays and bouquets for their wedding day....and here we go again.!!!
I am not complaining-I promise. This is what our wonderful work is all about...and I would not change it for the world.
So after half of the year gone already we have been busy petals most weekends.
You can see a great selection of our work on Someflowers Facebook page. Don't forget to like our page, become a friend and pass on to as many friends as you can.

It may pay to remember a little bunch of words that when put together means a huge amount.


Today I would like to use them if I may-To You?


If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together, there is something you must always remember.


You are Braver than you believe

Stronger than you seem

...And Smarter than you think.


But the most important thing is,

Even if we're apart

I will always be with you.

Winter Wonderland Wedding March 2011




Spring has sprung and so has Someflower into action for 2011 weddings.


We started off this year at one of the best venues (in our opinion) in the South, the Tithe Barn at Ditcham, Near Petersfield. How lucky are we to have this gorgeous venue on our doorstep?
The decoration for this wedding was really unique. The couple getting married had a passion for skiing and wanted the venue to look wintery....but NOT Christmassy!!!
The Tithe Barn is a beautiful symmetrical venue with lots of high ledges which are perfect for decorating. So we made the ceremony end really pretty by alternating and using rustic wicker hanging hearts, Trailing ivy and lovely church pillar candles.
A lovely sentimental touch to this wedding and also the decoration was on the Registrar's table where we made a stunning table display featuring 6 white candles and white roses. This arrangement and each candle represented a member of the family who were unable to attend the wedding but were in mind and spirit. Anna the Bride gave us the candles to use and they were from Lakeland and as they burned they made a wintery icicle pattern....they were so beautiful.
Weddings are always so expensive and none of us nowadays have an open chequebook unfortunately. No wedding is too big or too small...it is still your special day and here at Someflower we are passionate about providing beautiful flowers and displays within your allocated budget. We are always looking for interesting and innovative ways to be cost effective with flowers for our clients and this wedding was no exception.
It is always lovely to decorate the aisle at you venue. It is the first thing your guests see and you want to create that wow factor and a bit of wedding atmosphere. For this wedding we made lovely silver pots of gypsophilia and foliage studded with LED lights at the base and then delicate white sparkly twigs with silver skeleton leaves interspersed between the branches.
The aisle looked magical and then after the ceremony the aisle decorations were used as the table centre displays....VERY ECONOMICAL!!!
More pictures of this wedding venue decoration can be seen on my Someflower Facebook pages. I hope to have some photographs of the whole day to show you very soon once the official photo's are available.
Please feel free to become a follower of blog and a friend on Facebook to keep up to date with all we are doing here at Someflower. Also take a look at our stunning new website designed by Limeweb Studio
It looks like a very busy, interesting, fun and exciting year!!!

2011 Weddings Begin For Someflower

Wow....what a hectic couple of months January and February have been for Someflower.
Usually the first couple of months of a new year are quiet and it is a great time to get on top of all the sorting and preparations ready for the wedding season to begin. However we have been really busy over the last few weeks meeting up with lots of new brides and grooms and their
families to discuss floral requirements and wedding ideas.
We offer a free No-Obligation consultation and we have been busy meeting people most weekends (Saturday & Sunday) since January and the diary is completely full until 19th March...how brilliant is that?
Next weekend is the start of our working year. Our 1st wedding of 2011 is at the Tithe Barn in Ditcham where the bride and groom are having a civil ceremony and reception. They are both interested and have a passion for skiing and we are making some unusual and unique displays with white wood and lots of LED lighting to personalize their special day and bring out the snow aspect for them. I hope to post some pictures very soon after the event.
As any one who meets Someflower will know we are very passionate about being budget conscious and work within a budget that our clients are happy with. For this wedding the clients were wanting the aisle decorated but did not want the usual topiary set up that always looks fabulous at the barn. So we have decided to be a little clever and create some lovely displays that are going to be used to decorate the aisle and then are also suitable to be used as table centres after the ceremony. I am sure it will look amazing and nice to have something different to showcase at the barn.
Purple and purple roses seem to be again a very popular choice for a lot of you 2011/2012 brides. We have had a couple of enquiries about black and white colour themes and also believe it or not two enquiries about using LIVE FISH in the table displays!!!
I have a feeling that Someflower will be having a really interesting year again....and we say "We can't wait"!!!
If you would like to arrange to meet up to discuss your floral requirements with Someflower, please feel free to contact us anytime. It would be lovely to see you.

Tithe Barn Wedding Fair 2011




We had an really amazing day on 29th January @ Tithe Barn in Ditcham at the wedding event they hosted.
The atmosphere was great and there were lots of interesting exhibits to visits and get inspiration and lots of wedding related advice from.
Faye and I were busy from the moment the doors opened at 9am meeting some fantastic couples and their families. We took different floral displays with us for everyone to see, hold, feel and smell.
Lots of money saving ideas were talked about as well as this years trends and colour themes.
It really was a lovely day and I would like to thank Sam and Gaynor and the girls for inviting us again. They did an amazing job and the atmosphere was buzzing. A huge success.
