The sweetest things in tins...






This weekends wedding is a delight of sweet peas, hydrangea, stocks, dahlias and daisies. 
The beautiful aroma of these gorgeous flowers are filling the shop. 
The table arrangements are very quirky - each in a bean tin! We adore them. 

The wedding we are told is at a gorgeous setting in a large house in the country.
This will be tomorrows adventure!

Country bumpkin...

Wedding from last weekend of love in a mist, daisies, stephanotis, freesia and lovely summer things!

We've been a bit slack recently on the posting! Apologies. We're back on it.
Weddings seem to have over taken Oreston and the stress of getting four weddings out on a Saturday morning has resulted in a considerably drop in photo taking! 
Actually its not just Saturdays. Last week we had Monday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday weddings. 
I like funny day weddings. A Monday is a good day to get married on.

This week we are looking busy again! And it appears that over the next few weeks with Bank Holidays and the start of September, weddings are increasing in numbers! 
I fear we will not be seeing much of this gorgeous summer sun!!

Come and join our lovely picnic.....


This weekend we are creating a gorgeous gorgeous wedding with trestle tables, cake stands and every type of flower you could wish for in 60 different vases. The wedding is to be held on Llantallack Farm in Cornwall and if the weather holds up then it will be a superb day!
With this fabulous wedding in mind we have created a mini version in our window so we have hydrangea, sweet william  sweet peas, roses and agapanthus to name just a few. 

We will keep you up to date with pictures of our weddings from the weekend at the end of the week, but for now you have these lovely pictures to keep you going!
We have also just had two lovely thank you cards from recent weddings. Don't old fashioned hand written notes brighten your day?

First day of summer





The first day of summer, 
We realize it is hard to believe as today is the hottest day of the month so far and we still need thick jeans socks and vests. But we are feeling optimistic and the summer flowers have arrived. Daisies and garden roses,  love in a mist and the amazing dahlias. However many times we have dahlia in the shop we all can't help but be amazed by how gorgeous and perfect they are.
Our final thought for the day is today is also the longest day that means its all down hill until Christmas!
Happy Days!!

Simply stocks...



A perfect gift of summer
Local stocks with a perfect scent
Sometimes the best things in life don't last as long as you'd like them too
So enjoy them thoroughly whilst they are here...
