what we do when we're not doing weddings

we do flowers for other events

including the Goodwood Festival of Speed

it takes approximately

1000 nutans

1000 chrysanthemum blooms

several thousand roses

1000 hypericum berries

and lots and lots of foliages, herbs, 

and yes even more flowers, 

a lorry from Charlie to put the flowers in

& driver for the above lorry

plus

Rianne, Albert & Marlies

who work very hard in Holland to get the flowers just right

Edward with his lorry of flowers

then add a

Matthew, Darren, Ellen, Julia, Sarah, Antonia, Kathy, Vanessa,

Barbara, Chyna, Rebecca, Michael,

Tom - and not forgetting a me

a Sue, Sharon, Geoff & Eve to run the empire back in Petworth

all in all

quite impressive

to raise funds for the red cross

it did stop raining for a couple of hours

teas & cakes were served

many questions asked, photographs taken

& an enjoyable afternoon was had by many visitors,

i am currently loving clematis

from buds to seed heads

i think some may even be staring in one of the bridal bouquets this weekends

so more pictures to follow

take one pair of shoes, peonies, roses & joanna brown....

add a boy & a girl

and you have the perfect ingredients for

a magical wedding day
