So nobody can predict the British weather, especially when you book your wedding day so far ahead. Even the weather man gets it wrong sometimes. But the new Mr & Mrs Hegarty (and gorgeous son Jenson), certainly never expected the amount of rain that appeared in Otterburn on 10th August!

At the end of last month, I was privileged to fly over to Holland for 3 days and attend a workshop with French designer Max Hurtaud, sponsored by Parfum Flower Company and Florismart.

When I get an idea in my head, it's hard to let it go. So when I saw these beautiful luxurious looking balloon displays that are around nowadays, I knew I just had to pull a team of fellow creatives together to bring my vision to life!

I was lucky enough to be asked by Sally & Myles to create the flowers for their big day last year. They were a lovely couple to work with and just trusted me to 'do what I do'.

I thought I'd give you all a little bit of advice for attaching your buttonholes as I always get asked to help on the day. Here are some beautiful images of Paul and his sons taken at Charlton Hall by Hey Chris Randle Photography! First step, is to push your pin through the back of the lapel... Secondly, push that pin through the stem of the buttonhole then back through the lapel again Then you're all done! It's that simple. Do be gentle though, they're flowers, not power too

As with all walks of life, trends come and go in floristry. You never know when a style or particular type of item is going to become popular or regain popularity.
