Fun at the Fayre

Wedding Fayre's are a great chance to meet new excited brides, eager to talk flowers.

On Sunday I was at Eastwell Manor which was great. It was a compliment to be an exhibitor here, as standards are high! Eastwell http://www.eastwellmanor.co.uk/ is a lovely venue for a dream wedding and I enjoy doing the flowers for weddings there.

Here's some pics of my stall...







Thanks to all who chatted to me on Sunday. I had some really positive response which was nice. If you are a bride to be, I would love to get involved with your flowers this year. Please just contact me if you have any further questions.


I told all brides that they are welcome to pop in the shop to create a 'story board' of their wedding flowers with me anytime. We can then photograph it and build the project from there. It is sometimes hard to know what you want at first - so I find this a great way to start and find out your flower tastes. For the Fayre I did this take on 'Vintage Floral'. I love all the antique roses, lilacs, greens, dusky pinks and ivory, next to cut glass and pearl....



All these photos were taken by my talented friend Jodie Chapman, who was also exhibiting that day.
If you are looking for a photographer to achieve all you want and more, become familiar with her style and take a look at http://www.jodiechapmanphotography.blogspot.com/.

Scents of the Season





Lavender! This seasons colour.

I am a UK Stockist of the lovely brand Green Gate. It is always an exciting moment when we get to preview the new collection. They have released the new Spring Summer Catalogue and it's fab!

'Scents of the Season' can be viewed at http://www.greengate.dk/. It is made up of four collections : Sparkling Spring, Lavender Living, Bellevue Summer and Molly's Garden. Here are my favourites, which should give you the flavor of what is to come!

To avoid disappointment, let me know what you like and I can pre-order it now. Their items do sell out fast so if you love something you need to act now. New stock should arrive mid March, so why not plan a visit and see the new range in full! http://www.thefloralmadam.com/contact.html
