Birthday flowers

I was asked by a lady at work to make some flowers for her friend whose birthday it was earlier this week. I delivered them to her at her desk and she was very impressed with them! I went for three different types of flower in this bouquet - lilies, alstroemeria and carnations. I love the colours!

Happy Engagement!

A girl at work got engaged last week and her team ordered a bunch of flowers for her. I saw the lilies and they were a lovely orange colour, so I got the roses to match. I do need to stock up in ribbons though because this yellow was the closest I had! I did get to use my new stamp again though which I love.

Christmas wreaths

A little while ago I posted about my intention to make and sell Christmas wreaths - and here are the results of some of the orders I got! I had some very happy customers.

The last one is the wreath I made for my own front door, but the photo really doesn't do it justice.

College bouquets

We had a practical day at college today, and here are the two bouquets I made. We had to recycle the flowers which was a bit different, but much cheaper than having to buy two lots! We have a timed assessment on the first bouquet next week - eek! We have to make it from start to finish, including stripping the stems, wrapping and making the bow in 15 minutes. Looks like I'll be practicing a lot this week!

Wedding Flowers

My brother got married in early September in All Saints Church, Great Braxted (followed by an amazing reception at the Braxted Park Estate) and me, my mum and my aunt did the flowers (with a little held from the wedding coordinators at the church).

Below are some of the photos from the church. The reception flowers were really simple, with three different stems - white rose, lilac rose and gypsophila - in decorative glass vases in the middle of the tables and three little bowls of flowers on the top table with some scattered petals. I unfortunately don't have any good photos of these as everyone was already sat round the tables by the time the wedding party got to the venue (I was a bridesmaid) it all looked lovely though :)
