July, a month of celebrations...

Whats been happening...

July has certainly been a busy month!

Although times have not got back to complete normality yet (or perhaps it is the new normality for the time being) re-openings and celebrations have begun.

We have worked on some incredible designs this month, one in particular that stands out is the amazing flower mirror arch we created in SASS studios. It's every florists dream to get stuck in to such a large scale creation and to be given the freedom of flower choices and colours was an absolute pleasure!

Weddings...

Weddings now have the go ahead, although on a small scale of 30 people (good excuse to short list your favourite people mind ;)) we have had lots of enquiries of flower designs on a smaller scale.

My advice would be to concentrate on the bridal party, this includes the famous Bride bouquet, Bridesmaid designs, Buttonholes and smaller details like Wands.

Wands are an incredibly sweet design if you have little ones as Bridesmaids or Flower Girls, they bring such fun to the day. Although be wary the fairy princess wand often gets turned in to a weapon of some kind.

Another beautiful detail is flower crowns, I adore head circlets. Often people are scared of these designs but you don't always have to go full on. If you have the right style and look they can be breathtaking, just one flower like Gypsophilia or Baby's Breathe as you may know it can look just as stunning as a full on abundant crown of blooms, lush!

Wrist corsages can be a lovely addition especially if you have an outfit on a delicate scale. There not just the choice of ribbon and flower anymore, designs can be created on beautiful pearl bracelets which sit comfortable for the whole of the big day!

A good florist will always tell you if it would look lovely and a great florist would suggest things you would never of thought of for it to look incredible!

June, what a month....

Wow what a month it has been, the end of spring and the beginning of summer sunshine, although not so much today. The idea to bring in flower deliveries has really taken off and I couldn't be more happier, so not just an event florist anymore!

Thank you everyone who has supported me on my new venture of Rock + Wild whether thats buying some flowers or spreading the word, it really is appreciated. I've loved every second of it so far and every design has given me the greatest joy to create!

What's Happening...

Well whats going on in my floristry brain at the moment.....Weddings!

Usually the summer months are jam packed with wedding creations but alas it is not meant to be this year. So many events and celebrations have been postponed to 2021 and 2022 and my heart goes out to you all, its not easy planning a wedding let alone rearranging every little aspect. I will do my upmost to help any bride or groom with this and make things as easy as I can for you on the floral front. I know weddings have been given the green light butI can imagine some difficult decisions being made with the new restrictions. I will advice to get a new date in as soon as you've had the a okay from the ceremony and venue as I can see 2021 being a busy one hopefully in a lot more safer and relaxed circumstances.

Trend...

One thing I can see in popularity is rainbow inspired colour schemes, this makes my heart explode, as anyone who knows me knows my love for colour has no bounds!

Whether a full on rainbow explosion is you thing or just choosing a select few I can see some awesome wedding trends kicking off!

For one thing I know my soon to be one year old son will be having a rainbow fiesta, any excuse to splash these colours around. Putting my hand to some balloon creations whether that works out I'll be sure to share!

Something to try...

Another trend I see happening is in the dry flower world, the do it yourself approach has grown massively in popularity. These fresh Hydrangeas are ideal for your first attempt, find them on our online shop, simply hang upside down with string, the raffia that comes with your flower delivery or even an elastic band in a dark (as this will help keep the flowers colour) warm and dry room. Other great flowers for this our Roses, Gypsophilia, Larkspur, Limonium and Celosia.

Well lots to get on with here at Rock + Wild HQ's, the pick up truck is getting a makeover so look out for us on the road!

Workshop is in the planning so very excited about this hopefully in a couple of months I will be reporting from inside, the interior designer in me is getting way to ahead of herself! But will have so much more space to create floral gorgeousness, and even attempt more videos who knows!

Right you know where we are for any of your flower needs so keep safe everyone!
