Downton Abbey

So who's been in heaven watching Downton Abbey? I mean two weddings in one season could it get any better !... ok so one wedding was a bit of a non event...poor Edith.

But to be quite honest I was so absorbed by the gorgeous arrangements, I nearly missed the drama!!!!

So here's my Downton Abbey inspired piece.

I took a lot of direction from these amazing florists in New York, who run a gorgeous little flower school.  http://little-flower-school.blogspot.co.nz/.

Check them out, this is another link to one of the girls official sites such yummy work! http://www.saipua.com/

Their style really helped me get out of my tight posy head space!

The Roses I've used are Sweet Juliet, Jayne Austin, Pretty Jessica, Lilac Rose, Evelyn 

& Charles Darwin 

First EVER Bouquet From our Field of Roses!!

My first Posy from Our 'Field of Roses'

Its early in the season and the roses are only just starting to come out, Glamis Castle is our first. I thought she was a white but I'm putting her in the more cream apricot category.  She has such a beautiful fragrance..hard to describe creamy delishousness!

Autumn Posie

What a mission this was to make, the garden is suffering, but I wanted something to brighten up the house so I managed to scrap enough flowers together to make a cute little Autumn Posy!

Dahlia's, Echinacea, Ladies Mantle, Rose Hips, Billy Buttons, and Hydrangea

Pom Poms

A rustic Pomander with Scabiosa Pods, Succulents, Dust Miller and Antiqued Hydrangea. Pretty much all I had in the garden at the time how sad is that, lots of rain = not many flowers to play with ;(

22nd Birthday Arrangement

For my 22nd Birthday I thought I'd give myself a present...a pretty table arrangement for my birthday dinner!! I wanted to do something that summed me up, by using all the flowers and trims that express my taste and love of what I do.

Roses, Scabiosa Pods, Billy Buttons, Antique Hydrangeas, Snap Dragons, Dusty Miller, Ladies Mantle, Veronica, Astrantia, Lisianthus and a mixture of gorgeous Succulents. All arranged in a wooden box finished with a cute Lace trim.
