I have made a massive decision to put my wedding business on hold (downsize it so to speak), I will be still be doing all bookings I've got booked in and I will still do my crafts, and stationery. I will also still hire out certain stock items as the husband is taking over on certain things so still feel free to drop us a message. It might not be forever who knows but I'm wanting to find my happy place. It's not been an easy decision however feel like it's the right time. I started this business to work around my children while they were little but now they are grown up. Ask questions, drop us a message, I'm still happy to talk weddings.xx

Merry Christmas to everyone. The office is now closed until the children go back to school. I will be back on the 8th January all refreshed and raring to go.
Hope everyone has a wonderful time.

Unfortunately this year I won't be running any wreath workshops. I have been poorly since the middle of September and I am still not right so I have made the decision to miss this years workshops. I am sorry for those that were looking forward to it, I was looking forward to it myself and love getting into the festive spirit with everyone. I am sorry for any inconvenience caused but I will be back with them for next year.

Well what can I say about the last 6 weeks, its been a whirlwind of events. I last posted about starting a full time job, well I started a full time job, moved house, left the full time job and got another job this time it's more me and the bonus is I can still run my business too, so I'm back and able to meet you so if you want to book in and chat weddings or order Christmas presents (yes I said the C word) go for it, I'm available and excited again.

Hi everyone, after lots and lots of thinking and pondering my options, I have decided to get a full time job alongside running my business. The reason for this is I want to be an adult and buy a house eventually (not so easy with 2 self employed wages after covid) I will still be running my business and everyone's bookings are safe and anyone requesting quotes etc will get them in due course. However I start a new job on the 21st August so please allow a little longer for orders. Appointments will be held in evenings and some weekends but for now I will be working week days 9-6 so messages will be picked around them hours.
I hope you all understand and I thank everyone for the support.

Been busy all week getting ready for my first craft stall in a long time. Having a really great day all for charity with wvvw van group

Hello everyone, just a little reminder to say once a quote has been sent out, if I don't receive a message to confirm you want to book with me and a deposit paid, your booking won't be added to the diary. Sorry for any inconvenience.xx

We've had a super busy week and it's been so much fun. I've had the pleasure of working with a bright colourful couple who are always smiling, so what else would their wedding be. It had to be as bold and as bright as them. Yesterday's wedding saw a match of hot pink and bright orange. I had so much fun creating everything, using bright Ranunculus, Roses, Celosia with fragrant Eucalyptus creating bright and textured florals. We also supplied chair covers, table centerpieces, stationery, candy cart and love letters, but in true Nadine style I didn't get good photos of the bouquets.

Evening everyone🙋‍♀️

Next month I go abroad for the first time ever so I am throwing out an offer and if you take advantage of this offer you will keep me occupied with paperwork.

Hire our rustic or traditional white love letters for £50 (normally £110.00) Only available for 1 month so take advantage before I go away. You just need to be getting married in 2023. Terms and conditions apply and subject to availability.

Had a wonderful day yesterday decorating The Three Horseshoes Country Inn for the lovely Mr & Mrs Timperley, but in true Nadine style I forgot to take photos of the bridal flowers.

We have done a few special birthday frames, why not order one for your loved ones. Decorations subject to availability and themed to your loved ones interests.

We are exhibiting at The Doubletree by Hilton tomorrow, why not come and join us.

The one thing I fail from is remembering to post regular and take photos of the work/weddings I have done. I get so engrossed in doing the work that I forget but this year I am going to try. Here is a beautiful wedding I've had the privilege to do, working with a lovely couple who wanted their dream wedding with lots of foliage with a burnt sage colour scheme. My photos really don't do this beautiful colour justice.

All set up at todays wedding at Gladstone pottery museum, why not pop along to see us.

As a florist and business woman this sums up the worries that a lot of florists have. Its a very worrying time right now

The humble white chrysanthemum, the staple flower for a vast percentage of our floral tributes, used by florists far and wide for lettering, hearts, pillows, cushions, wreaths and countless bespoke designs.
This seemingly insignificant little bloom is currently the cause of much stress, anguish and worry throughout the florist community.
Why you ask? In the last few weeks, the cost price of this flower has increased by over 50%, it has more than tripled in the last year and it is increasing every day. Chrysanthemum, traditionally known as a ‘cheap’ flower is currently far out pricing premium flowers such as roses, lily and lisianthus (which has also doubled in price recently!).
We’re hearing reports that it is costing growers an average of £25,000 a day to heat and light their hothouses. Due to the rising energy costs some growers have gone out of business, some growers have turned off their hot houses halting production and those remaining few have had to pass their rising overheads on to us, their customers. The demand currently far outweighs supply which is affecting all colours and varieties of chrysanthemum and a lot of other flowers.
We have tried to keep our prices steady for as long as possible but in the face of it, we have no option but to raise them significantly otherwise we simply won’t have a viable business ourselves. We are looking at cost effective alternatives and will always guide you through the options as best we can. At the moment white hydrangea is looking like the best option although they all have a slightly fluffier finish. If you have any questions regarding this, any concerns or worries then please do get in touch, we’re always on hand to help where possible.
