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!
