Bringing the Outside Inside
Just before Christmas I travelled to the south of Salisbury to do the wedding flowers for a very dear friend who I have known since he was 18 months old!! The wedding reception was held in a very beautiful old barn with a Tee Pee and fire pit!! We decided to use lots and lots of green foliage, white Gypsophilia and beautifully scented ivory Norma Jean Roses, all giving the sense of bringing the outside inside.
The tables had a mix of hugely tall arrangements, wooden bowls of foliage, flowers and chapel candles and simple full blown roses in an assortment of brass candlesticks - a real eclectic mix which looked fabulous.
First Christmas at The Flower Shop
Looking back through my archive photographs for some nice shots to go onto the website, I found this one of my very first Christmas at Cobbs. I started the business on 1 December 2008 by moving a borrowed Gypsy Caravan onto site outside the farm shop. Very primitive but lots of charm. The Shepherd’s Hut arrived a few months later.
