Lakeview Flowers

Definitely a feeling of autumn in the air 🍂 the flowers are happy though and looking beautiful. It's hard to believe that in a few short weeks the Irish flower season will be slowing down for the year.

What a lovely busy start to August. There were some gift bouquets, market bunches dropped off to and debs corsages made including one for my own beautiful daughter.

This arrangement went out yesterday and I loved it. It was full of beautiful July flowers. Everything was grown here.

The customer wanted white and the garden was happy to produce.

For Grainne 💞

Yesterdays bride had actually married recently but this was for their big party to celebrate.

She wanted a bouquet but not quite as formal as a wedding bouquet.

Hope you all had a wonderful day # # #

Locally grown, seasonal flowers available in this weekend and for the rest of the Irish flower season.

Or get in touch to order gift bouquets for collection or local delivery.

For Sarah and Neil who married at the beautiful Clonabreany House yesterday.

Everything grown here and travelled less than half an hour to the wedding.

Hope you both had a wonderful day. Congratulations.

Flowers aren't always for a celebration, a birthday or a wedding. Sometimes they are a way of showing a friend that you are thinking of them when they need it most.

This vase arrangement was huge and jam packed with homegrown, beautiful flowers.

Now that the Irish flower season is very much underway with my little flower farm bursting into life. Beautiful tulips, narcissus, anemones, ranunculus and so much more to come. I thought I'd share a little reminder of how to make your cut flowers last as long as possible.

I give them the best start I can. Cutting and conditioning so they look their best for you.

I hope you love them as much as I do.

Thanks Lou

As much as I love fresh flowers for a wedding there is something really special about dried flowers.

There is a lovely romantic and vintage feel to them.

Grown and dried in Ireland. What's not to love?

What a build up to Christmas this has been!!! My busiest yet 😃

The wreath making workshops were amazing and great fun. Then I got to make some beautiful wreaths and table arrangements to adorn your homes.

All the work was still going on behind the scenes making sure that I will have some gorgeous flowers for you all next year.

So from the bottom of my heart a big Happy Christmas from my house to yours and thank you for all your continued support of my small business.

I'm off now to eat all the mince pies I can find, have a few glasses of wine and get cosy and festive with my family.

Thanks Lou # # #

Wanted to do something simple for my door. Love a red bow at Christmas.

An example of some of previous years wreaths.

I love the details, the smell of the oranges, the rustic feel to them, the dried teasle, the foliage that had been grown here.

So much work and love goes into each wreath that every one I make I think is my favourite.

I have a small amount of availablity so if you want to order one please get in touch.

What an honour it is to preserve someone's beautiful bouquet. The lovely Caoimhe asked me to do just that. The plan was to have four frames and an individual larger one.

It's a lovely way to keep the flowers that where such an important part of their special day.

The stunning bouquet was from the very talented Brigid at .flowers

Two of last year's September weddings. I loved working on these.

It's such a joy to use flowers that I have grown and tended to and to make something beautiful.

To me these bouquets shout September. The colours so Autumnal. The scent and texture of each.

As a flower grower September is a time for planning. Planning on what new flowers to grow next year, planning on making new beds. But for me definitely planning on more beautiful September weddings.

Flowers for the weekend!!!

Maybe it's because the flower season will be coming to an end soon but these flowers seem extra gorgeous.

My beautiful May bride Ciara sent me the most stunning photos.

I love how vibrant the colours on the dried flowers are. All of the flowers for their wedding were grown and dried in Ireland.

Ciara and Eric were such a wonderful couple to work with.

That time of year again. If you would like to order a mini pumpkin with dried flowers get in touch.

These guys lasted months last year.

€20 each

Been very quiet on here lately. Summer holidays definitely throws the routine out the window.

Lots of work going on behind the scenes though.

Harvesting flowers for drying that will be used in wreaths and bunches as well as cutting fresh flowers for gift bouquets.

Some beautiful pressed flower commissions on the go too. For the wonderful brides that gave me the honour of pressing their bouquets I'll be in touch next week.

Thanks Lou # # #
