Chelmsford Cathedral Flower Festival

Today my mum and I went the the Chelmsford Cathedral Flower Festival, and some of the arrangements were absolutely stunning! I took a lot of photos (unfortunately all on my phone so not the best quality) but here are some of my favourites:

It'll be all white on the night

I've got a couple of weddings lined up for the summer and the brides both want white flowers, so I've been looking around for some ideas. None of these photos are mine, they're all from Pinterest. I prefer when there's a bit of foliage or another colour in the design to break up the white, as well as when the flowers are on slightly different levels so the bouquet has a more natural look.

Wedding: week 10

Here's what I made in the tenth and final week of the wedding unit of my floristry course. And the last week of the course all together! I'm sad that's it's over but excited about the diploma I'm starting in September.

I really enjoyed making this shower bouquet, it was a good technique to have learned for the final week. And the flowers are lovely!

Grasses

I took apart the grass skirt from the bouquet I made at college and incorporated into a couple of other designs. I also had too many flowers so made another teacup arrangement, which are my favourite things to make!
