Happy New Year to you!
Thank you to everyone I worked with this year, it was a really brilliant floral year and I enjoyed every minute of it.
It was a great year for my flowers and plants at The Cowdray Farm Shop and a very successful year for events and weddings too. My clients have all been, without exception, an absolute pleasure to work with.
Thank you and H appy New Year X
Well, it's a floral time of year and the last few weeks have been incredibly busy for us at This Floral Life.
We've been making lots of wreaths, table decorations, planters and flowers for the Cowdray Farm shop and decorating trees, houses and shops for Christmas. It's been really hard work but so lovely and beautifully festive. It's a great time of year to be a florist!
We've worked on some gorgeous events recently and this weekend we set up gorgeous Christmas tablescape for a private dinner at Cowdray House, Midhurst.
The dinner was in the fabulous Buck Hall and with the huge Christmas tree, balcony fireplace garlands that we installed last week, the room looked amazing. With the fire lit and hundreds of candles around the room, the stage was set for a magical Christmas event.
It's been a magical couple few weeks decorating some fabulous venues for Christmas including one of my absolute favourites; Cowdray House, Cowdray Park, Midhurst.
The Christmas tree was specially selected and cut from the Cowdray Estate and is a truly magnificent tree.
So, two fireplaces, five balconies and a huge tree later....
I was invited to design the flowers for a gorgeous event last Thursday and we created a wild and autumnal tablescape inspired by the views from the dining room window of Cowdray House, who hosted the event. Caper and Berry provided the fabulous food and hospitality.
The event was a party for many of the top wedding and event planners and, having installed the flowers, I rushed home to change and actually attended the event.
It was a great night with amazing food, a superb venue and great company.
