Sparkling Beauttiful and Magical

We started off the early part of the year at the Tithe Barn in Ditcham for this gorgeous "Wintery" themed wedding.  White sparkling beech wood, dark evergreen foliages and white roses and wicker hearts looked magical up the aisle and hanging from the ledges.
Flickering candlelight and LED's created atmosphere and romance.  These arrangements were brilliant as not onlt did they decorate the wide aisle with something really unique and different from the usual Topiary Tree aisle....they also doubled up as the table decorations saving the Bride and Groom ££££££.

2011 Tithe Barn Wedding Fair

A New Year A New Journey For Someflower

Usually the 1st couple of months are a little quite January and February are not always the most popular of wedding months. However there is always lots to do and our main focus when we returned back to work in the New Year was for meyself and Faye to sit down with any left over Christmas Chocolate/cake or Biscuits and discuss what floral creations and designs we are going to take to any Wedding Fayres we may attend.

Funnily Enough that is also what we are doing right now too (some old habbits never change!!!).

We were kindly invited again last year to exhibit at the Tithe Barn, Ditcham, Near Petersfield Wedding Fayre. It is just the most beautiful of barns and we count our blessings that we are so close to one of the most amazing venues in the South East.

I always envy the couples getting married there. What a magical place to start your journey together. The Tithe Barn certainly has that WOW factor and we absolutley adore working there, so to be invited to showcase some of our work at their event is a privelledge.

....AND GUESS WHAT?????

We have been invited again this year to exhibit. HOORAY!!!

We have lots of lovely, unique, exquisite floral ideas to share with you. So come and say "Hello".

You can find us in a prime location on the beautiful balcony on SATURDAY 28TH JANUARY 2012 @9-4PM.

Please Readers Forgive Me....For I have Sinned!!!!

Please Readers Forgive Me....For I have Sinned in a very big way.

I have not posted on my BLOG now for over 6 months....which frankly is unforgivable.

Its not because I have had nothing to say....it has been simply because we have all been so lovely and busy here at Someflower, and I just did not get chance to sit and type and tell you all about it.

Now however is different, and I think I will just give you all a little run down of some of the wonderful highlights for us last year.

Do let me know your comments to any of the postings. I love to hear your thoughts.

Happy Reading

Love Michele xx

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.
