Wedding season!! It's seriously manic at the mo... trying to juggle husband, kids & flowers :) I think I'm doing ok.
All the weddings have been amazing, from marquees at Frampton Court to Medeival Banquets at Berkeley Castle & then the Vintage Wedding which was beautiful!!!
On market day last week my day started at 4am & off to buy flowers, I grow as much as possible but could never grow it all!! the cutting garden is mainly English flowers, sweet peas, larkspur, dahlia & cosmos to name a few. These are topped up with flowers from an importer in Bristol called Flowervision. They import from all over the world, I try to buy Fair Trade if I can & also keep an eye on carbon footprints!!!
After market it was back to get the flowers into water, make up table decorations, buttonholes & bouquets, cook some tea, kiss my little boy good night & off to do a wedding consultation in Bristol, home about 8.30pm then check my emails..... It's a good job I've got a good team but thank God it's not that busy every day!!!
As the blog goes on hopefully there will be a better picture of my life as a florist :)
