Blossom on the trees, you know how I feel

And hello to you floral friends. HOW nice is it to have some sunshine!? Very nice. The garden is zooming along headlong to summer. My cutting patch is looking sadly bare because I am suffering from a horrendous bind weed and creeping buttercup situation, which must be DEALT WITH before I plant out any tender innocent seedlings.

Here are some pictures from the jaunty wedding fair I did at The Pines Calyx a few weekends ago. I was lucky enough (as I usually am) to be next to the amazing treats provided by Chives caterers. Now, I have eaten a lot of wedding food over the years and let me tell you these guys are GOOD. Anyway. This isn't a food blog, so on with the flowers.

So I had some amazing English stock in a sweetie jar which smelt of heaven, and a large arrangement of cherry blossom, delphiniums and green bells, narcissi, anemones, muscari, daffodils, lots of amazingly fragrant daphne (which isn't much to look at but is probably the best smell in the world) and some very seet tiny orchids which i thought might make great place card holders, or lovely favors?

When I fall in love

To Rochester, for a wonderful wedding at the Corn Exchange. The theme was sweeties! With 300 guests and a budget to stick to, this clever couple decided to put candy coloured flowers on every other table, and wonderful ice cream bowls full of sweeties in the other! What with mirrored tiles, silver candelabra, fairy lights and ivy trails, the whole thing was an amazing masterclass on how to dress a massive venue without spending a king's ransom. There were anemones, ranunculus and pretty pink tulips in sweet little jam jars, matching the home made chutney and Kentish apple juice which the guests took home as favours. Bare ledges were dressed with spring flowers in old kitchen storage jars, and the huge banisters were coiled around with ivy and twinkly lights. Magic!

This month you can find my ugly mug and one of my creations in the illustrious pages of none other than BBC Gardener's World Magazine! http://www.gardenersworld.com/magazine/ Mine is the green and purple bouquet. It's an article on growing your own cut flowers, and using them to make your own wedding bouquet, if you're feeling brave!
