Sneak Peek...

As promised here is a little sneak peek of Jon & Leckie's Engagement shoot from the weekend! Jade and I  had a lot of fun putting this together at Jon's beautiful family home...with horses, a gorgeous little rowing boat on their pond and meadows of long grass, daisies and buttercups! Despite the gale force winds on Saturday and threatening black skies, the rain held off long enough for us to get some great shots. So look out for some more amazing photos from Jade over the next week!

We met Leckie and her brother Jack at a recent wedding fayre. They have launched a new wedding stationary design company based in the Midlands called Pocket Typewriter. It is absolutely amazing so I definitely recommend you take a look!!

Love this shot in the rowing boat...reminds me of The Notebook...best film ever!!

See you soon...Happy Monday!!

I think I'm in love!

Had a great time last night styling an engagement photo shoot with my good friend Jade...look out for a sneak peek very soon!! Now I have to admit that I have never been a fan of the colour coral but I have definitely been converted! I am absolutely in love with these 'coral charm' paeonies that I used for our shoot...beautiful, huge blooms that scream English country garden! Delicate pale pink astilbe compliments the blush tones so nicely...love it!

Hope you've had a great weekend...look out for our latest shoot soon!

Playtime...

I have been like a little kid at Christmas this week...I have finally managed to get a decent camera to blog with so it has been playtime in my house! I wake up with it...go to bed with it...hold it for no apparent reason...just need to learn how to use it now!! I feel like I did when I was about 8 years old and always wanted to wear my new shoes to bed! Bailey (my retriever!) is sick of modelling for me now, so I've moved on to some flowers I had at home this week! Please forgive my poor photography skills...but hopefully you can join me on my journey as I attempt to dazzle you with amazing pictures!! My lovely Jade is going to be sick of me hassling her for wise tips so I think I will stick to letting her do the dazzling for the time being!!

So here are a few piccies of some gorgeous milka tulips in a vintage cream vase that I picked up last week during one of my many treasure hunts!

Finally a few vendela roses and spray roses in some vintage glass jugs...

Thanks for stopping by! Look out for improvements on my blog as I continue my journey!!!

breathe in..breathe out..

Do you ever wake up bursting with creative inspiration...desperate to make something...sometimes something just a little bit different...unable to breathe until you get it out of your system?? Sadly I do...much to my husbands annoyance...but once I have I can breathe again and I am much easier to live with!! So my lovely friend Jade and I have decided to get together and share our creative ideas and bring you, (hopefully !!), a weekly blog of mini style sessions to inspire you. Forgive us if we fall behind but we will try our best!

So here is our first offering...a vintage style balsa flower bouquet and buttonhole, beautifully photographed by Jade. I put together the bouquet using these gorgeous balsa wood flowers and vintage style lace flowers finished with the cutest buttons. I finished it with a cuff of mink coloured feathers and dusky pink lace handle.

This could be such a lovely alternative to a traditional bouquet along with this balsa flower buttonhole. I decided to mix it with natural, miniature cones and a more masculine deep brown ribbon!

Finally, a milk glass vase of 'Curly Sue' tulips!

Hope you feel inspired! Have a lovely weekend!

Patricia & Chris

So here's a few photos from a small wedding I did recently! Patricia & Chris were married at The Roman Baths in Bath on 26th March. They had a gorgeous day with close family and friends at a truly classical venue! Photos are by the lovely Emma White

Patricia chose lovely vibrant shades of orange for her flowers which I mixed with softer cream roses, hypericum berries and moss green foliage. I used gorgeous stone bowls for the reception table centrepieces to compliment the surroundings of the Roman Baths.

I put together a collection of vintage bottles to be used by guests to place their special wishes to the Bride and Groom and tags marking the day were tied with a simple moss green ribbon.

Congratulations Chris and Patricia...you make a beautiful couple!
