diary of a florista: November 2011
http://diaryofaflorista.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Diary of a florista. Thursday, 17 November 2011. India's love affair with flowers. Maybe the shenanighans of last weeks Rigaud Bollywood party have had a strange effect on me; came across this nice little selection of photos on the BBC website. Which I thought I would share. Saturday, 12 November 2011. And their amazingly inspiring arrangements, blasting them straight to the top of my most loved list and making me consider taking up Catalan lessons - Ole! Local Boy in the Photograph. The Real Flower Girl.

diary of a florista: Magic numbers
http://diaryofaflorista.blogspot.com/2012/06/magic-numbers.html
Diary of a florista. Tuesday, 19 June 2012. Three words; simple, elegant, beautiful. Bride Sarah looked stunning in Jenny Packham, the bridesmaids looked effortlessly chic in Ted Baker and even the jam jars on the table got dressed up for the occasion sporting brown paper, hessian, twine and moss. The tables were all named with significant numbers, and thus we all learnt that our poor bride has endured nine games of football at Grimsby town (sorry Ben! More fabulous pictures from Steve Carss. And were re...

diary of a florista: May 2011
http://diaryofaflorista.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Diary of a florista. Saturday, 21 May 2011. So maybe peach is the wrong word (in my head it conjures up images of an 80's bridesmaids) Nude is a better word and much more appropriate to the colour scheme of this weeks wedding. With the bride working in the design sector it was an extremely stylish affair from The Temperly Dress right down to the fabulously well dressed guests in their Louboutin'. Juliet and Rosalind David Austin Roses. Wired flowers for hair. Tuesday, 17 May 2011. A massive thank you to ...

Diary of a florista. Thursday, 2 August 2012. With summer flying past in the blink of an eye I thought I better update the blog so there are four to come in quick succession before we get into the second half of the season weddings starting this Saturday! Great photos again from Steve! Each medium 'chandelier' had 50 roses tied on the morning of the wedding. Photo by Steve Carss. 6 rose chandeliers the length of the wedding barn. Photo by Steve Carss.

diary of a florista: June 2011
http://diaryofaflorista.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Diary of a florista. Wednesday, 22 June 2011. Buying fresh lavender in the South of France in June should be easy right? As I discovered three days before the bride arrived. Cue panic and a rather stressful Sunday evening. All was resolved on Monday after a quick phonecall to Bordeaux flower market and a order was placed for twenty bunches to be collected on Thursday morning. Meanwhile we could get to work on the table centres, which, inspired by an idea on one of my favourite bridal blogs. Style Me Pret...

diary of a florista: July 2011
http://diaryofaflorista.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Diary of a florista. Wednesday, 20 July 2011. If there was ever a perfect example of how to do understated vintage glamour then Antonia and Ian's wedding was it. The bride wore the most amazing hand-made lace veil worn by not only her mum at her wedding but also her grandmother at hers, the wedding car was a classic french citreon 2CV and the flowers were inspired by the fantastic 'Real Flower Company'.

diary of a florista: October 2011
http://diaryofaflorista.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Diary of a florista. Monday, 10 October 2011. Ready, aim, shoot! I have to add that the flowers are for a photo shoot taking place here at the chateau tomorrow so there wasn’t the budget or the volume requirement to do a direct order from Holland. With the only restrictions on the brief being that colours should reflect autumn and the bouquet should take into account the dress style, I’m relatively free to be as creative as I wish (bonus! Check back soon to see how I get on. Picked fresh from the garden.
