New, our light up vases.  Showcased below, submerged White Calla Lillies and Pink Dendrobian Orchids.  Comes with a mirror and available in a range of colours.  Roses are also great for submerging in this type of design. 





Last Minute Wedding Orders

So would you believe on the day of the blue wedding, later on we had a last minute order for a renewal of the vows service.  The husband was doing a surprise for his wife... How sweet, so how could I not blog.

He asked for Blue Hydrangea and Blue Thistle, and what did we have sitting in the bucket feeling lonely, yep you guessed it Blue Hyrdangea and Blue Thistle.

So, in our true creative nature, we whipped up a couple of designs and asked him to come back in a couple of hours....

And how could I not share!!



I was really thrilled that our left over flowers got an outing as well, hope this couple had a great day!!  And, many more happy years ahead xx


Blues, blues and more blues....

Cath decided on blue and what a fabulous colour choice it turned out to be.  I can't take much credit for this one to be honest, it was all Cath's idea.  But we did execute her ideas and I hope you like them as much as we did....

Congratulations to you both, thank you so much for letting us do this.  We had lots of fun and really liked the outcome on this one..

Lots of love Paula xx

The Blackpool Themed Wedding in Haydock

When Katie came to see me and told me she had a blackpool theme, I thought oh my god, how can we do that with flowers.  But then, when she told me her colours, I have never been so excited. 

Katie described the the love story behind the blackpool theme as "a bit embarrasing", I call it romance encaptulated..... a true fairytale, the perfect idea.

Mixing up certain colour pallets really can provide you with such a wonderful impact on your wedding day.

And, I am not the only one who liked it, Katie's wedding is going to be featured in a well known wedding magazine....  watch this space!

GREEN - PURPLE - BROWN - PINK

This is what we came up with......  Congratulations Katie and thanks for letting us be part of this journey with you.


A shower bouquet with a mixture of Amnesia Roses, Lisisanthus and Spray Roses.


For the pink bridesmaid......


For the green bridesmaid.....


For the purple bridesmaid........


And for the flowergirl..... a mix of all the colours!


For the groom.


The pink tables had pink candleabra...


The purple tables had purple candleabra....


And yes, you guessed it the green table had green candleabra.


The top table was swagged with voil and organza.


Above and below, look at how good all the colours looked together.  The bunting and all the other decorations that Katie chose looked fab.


Congratulations to you both, now all we need is a picture of the bride modelling the bouquet.

I am sure you all had fun, how could you not.

Purple and Pink flowers for Lisa and Paul

Lisa and Paul, a couple from Widnes chose us to do their wedding stationery, wedding flowers and venue decoration.  Judging by their comment on our facebook page, I think they were pretty happy with what they did. 

"Hi Paula, Just wanted to leave you and all your staff a message to say thank you so much for all that you did for our wedding! The room looked amazing, the flowers were perfect, the invites, the post box, the chair covers! wow the list goes on. It all came together so well and was just fantastic! You really did help to make our day perfect. Thank you so much Love Lisa and Paul xxxx"

Anyway, we will let their cerise and purple flowers speak for themselves....  the pictures were took in a light that does not show their colour perfect, but you get the general idea dont you!!


The bridal bouquet consisted of cerise roses, purple gladiolus, pink bouvardia and purple lisianthus.  Not to mention a splash of purple and cerise pink dendrobian orchids.

Similar flowers were used throughout the designs...



Three of the bridesmaids had pink....


Three of the bridesmaids had purple....


The groom had a bit of both.



Colours were mixed in the venue decoration and we think it had great impact.


Lisa and Paul chose two different types of table centre.  They had six of these gerbera designs with black birch and skeleton leaves.


And six of these fishbowls with cerise gerbera floating in them.


And, to top it off.... they had a purple and pink top table design that was used in their civil room first and then put on their top table.  We always encourage dual use of flowers..

Thanks for choosing us guys, we appreciate it so much. 

Lots of love Paula xxx
