Appreciation post for summer, now autumn is here...

So i'm currently writing this with my cat sat right in front of me on my table, trying to stop him from leaning his big belly on the space bar! Hes a softy. I've realised that this year i missed a big chunk of the year with no new blog posts from March - October... I don't know why and not sure if anyone else can relate to this but i seem to blog less in the summer and more in autumn and winter. Maybe because in the summer i'm out more and pottering around in the garden and socialising, and when it gets colder i almost hibernate and spend a lot more time on my computer with emails as there's a lot of newly engaged couples that time of the year so more inquiries for me.  I can't believe how quickly  autumn has come around! I had a lovely bride and groom who have booked me a few weeks ago for September next year and their flowers are autumn bliss! Cannot wait to create their wedding flowers.

I've realised how much my workshop has needed a change around, I've been that busy that i haven't had the time to have a good tidy up and change of layout since spring... so i have set myself and my mum from Wedding Delights (whose display room is inside my workshop) to have a good clear up and change around. After we have done the mammoth task we will be holding Wedding Open Days at my workshop to meet new bride & grooms to discuss their requirements for their big day and get a quote! We will also have tables set up with designs made to look at.

It's been such a busy wedding season for me with 1-3 weddings a weekend and prepping and making in week days that summer has flown by. It's now October and all i can think about is Sedems (mines thriving in my garden at the moment!) bronze foliages,  Roses Hips,  Pumpkins,  Chinese Lanterns, Viburnum Berries,  Hydrangeas turning a gorgeous deep burgundy colour and the  last load of flowers from my Sweetpeas out in my garden. I do love the massive choice of flowers in autumn that are available, such texture and earthiness they give.  Soon it'll be christmas and the blue spruce will be coming out with the sliced oranges and cinnamon sticks (so excited), i now offer a service to decorate any space for christmas for your home or business, if you're interested in more information Click Here. 

Before settling in to autumn i thought i'd do a appreciation post for the lovely summer weddings i have supplied flowers for.
