It’s amazing when you get to cut flowers from the garden and think about how many air miles and £’s you’re saving. Growing a cut flower patch at home is a benefit to pollinators and your purse.

Among the flowers in the garden you’ll probably also find foliage, perfect to go in a vase. Greenery and leaves can add just as much to a bouquet as the flowers, they bring the texture and green backdrop for the florals to pop against.

Lydia and Steve’s December wedding was a Wintery day filled with Cranberry tones and warm vintage colours.

On a wedding day, I deliver and style all the wedding flowers in the morning and arrive amidst a cloud of hairspray in the air and when the first champagne glasses of the day are clinking. I'm usually long gone before the ceremony begins, so getting to see how the day unfolds in photographs is always a real treat. I've selected some of the wedding photos so you can see Lydia and Steve's day too. Lydia and Steve's photos were taken by D&A Photography.

Foliage wreaths are great to decorate a barn wedding or to adorn with seasonal decorations and hang from your front door. They add texture and a natural look to your interiors and also look perfectly at home hung up among your photos and pictures in your living room.
