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.

I wanted to dig a little deeper into why flowers help us feel so calm and I hope my investigation can help you turn to flowers whenever you want to take a moment to feel calm after a long day (or week!) at work. Taking the time to prepare flowers and place them in a vase is an act of mindfulness which is a soothing remedy for our busy lives. In the post below, I’ve looked below the surface beautify of flowers to really understand how they’re so rewarding when we have a go at arranging them.

Not sure what goes into a deep green and botanical garland, or how you can choose foliage to perfectly match a dusky Mediterranean theme? I’ve explained the ideal types of foliage you can choose for garlands and also described the looks they achieve. If you’ve seen many a foliage garland on Pinterest but you want to make sure the look of the garlands match your wedding decor, I’ve selected foliage varieties and listed them below so you can confidently choose how you’d like your garlands to look. If you want to make your own garland, this blog post will help you choose from 6 types of foliage that are ideal for garland making. Take a look down the list below to help you choose the leaves for your arrangement.

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.

Ever since my iphone started telling me how long I stare at its screen each week, I’ve been thinking more about my scrolling time. I’m not anti-technology and I really like the way lots of apps are platforms for creativity and useful information. I think it’s great that our phones are a port-key to communities and groups of people we would otherwise never be able to talk to. What I’d like to understand is why I ‘mindlessly’ scroll and ways I can get my time back from doing this, and spend it on what I really enjoy.

This Valentine’s Day I’m on a quest to shop small, independent and local. I feel like it’s so much more beneficial to the local community when we spend our money on something that a small and independent maker has carefully designed and made. In this blog post I’ve collected 6 makers and designers together to make a virtual Valentine’s market for you to wander around and peruse. I’m sorry there’s no virtual coffee shop invented yet but I suppose you can make yourself a cuppa, sit down and enjoy some small and independent shopping.

If you'd like to steer away from having a formal wedding day and choose more of a laid back one instead, here are 5 ideas to help you plan your relaxed and seasonal wedding.

A Christmas colour palette that I’m currently really into is one of rich and deep plum shades. It reminds me of the burning brandy on the Christmas pudding, delicious dark red desert wine and spending time with family and friends around a table full of rich food. The deep plum colour palette is also perfectly matched to flowers at this time of year.

The expectation of having the perfect dream wedding day can sometimes pile the pressure on the planning process. To help you spread the fun and excitement of the wedding day across all of the preparation, below are ideas for you to help take the pressure off. Planning a huge party for nigh on 100 guests is something that most of us have never had to do in all our lives.
