Verdila flowers bits and bobs

Getting back to flowers-a wedding and a funeral! Verdila

 ​It has been a while since my last post. I have had my busiest few years and something had to give. Sorry diary blog. Of course with lockdown all plans were off and I have spent my time updating IT, rejigging wedding dates for next year ( hearts out to my lovely  couples who have had to rearrange their big day) but mostly tidying.. lots of folders, cupboards and workshop studio stuff to sort through. But it has not all been bad. Time for reflection and lovely walks on the nearby heath allowed me to get back in touch with the wonderful British plant and bird life and gave time for planning and floral ideas. Also the garden is looking in great shape although the lawn has succumbed in the recent heatwave.
I am now back to taking orders for gift flowers, funerals. I had an especially lovely request recently for a floral tribute for a local Roystonian that reflected the town with incorporated flora. Royston has the rare purple pasque flowers and a great heath and wood on its edges that could all be reflected in my choice of plants.

​2021 looks like being a busy one for weddings too! 
One recent highlight from last year was Abi and Tom's wedding appearing in the final of the www.easywedding.co.uk competition. 'Mainly down to the lovely flowers' was Abi's comment. We went for a slightly unusual colourful 'country rustic' vibe.
The wedding service was held in the beautiful Wimpole church on Wimpole estate, Cambridgeshire. It is available for marriages of residents of the village  and workers of @wimpolehall  now owned by the National Trust.

The walkway up to the church was lined with 32 flower filled  hanging jam jars  with welcome pails and bunches  of flowers at the gates and church. I hire out hanging jam jars, pails and churns to make your day extra special.
Two large colourful pedestals in a riot of colour framed the altar with raffia tied pew end flowers lining the aisle. ​

 Tom had a billy button and wheat based buttonhole. The bridesmaids posies were smaller versions of the brides colourful bouquet.
At the reception marquee Verdila relocated the pail and churn flowers, as well as placing the hanging jam jar flowers and tied bunches to enhance garlands already in place. 
Guest tables were informal with jam jar flowers atop  hired tiered  log slices  scatted with petals and flower heads.
The crowning glory, if I say so myself ,was the Verdila floral hoop suspended over the bride and groom table. This included peony and sunflower with trails of amaranths to soften. It took 3 of us to decorate including one to hold the hoop steady and  to look out for  flower gaps- sorry Alex for your wet arms on that one! 
​
Will try to post more regularly now with tips and hints  and  wedding  comments  for you to enjoy.

I must say that your site was a real help in making me understand the definition of an epic simile. Keep up the good work! And please visit my websites: <a href="https://deadlinedaily.com/"> Deadline Daily </a>.

Your post beautifully captures the bittersweet essence of life through the symbolism of flowers, entwining moments of both celebration and loss. I love how you highlighted the versatility of flowers, as they embody joy at weddings and provide comfort during times of sorrow. The way you expressed the duality of these two life events in connection with the natural beauty of flowers was truly touching. It’s a reminder of how deeply intertwined our emotions and nature are, especially when flowers have the power to evoke such profound memories. Thank you for sharing such a heartfelt reflection
