Forget Me Nots

Just a quick post before I go away!

I am off to Australia tomorrow to have a holiday and also to do the flowers for my gorgeous Sister-in-Law.  This holiday has been booked for a while and I have to say the anticipation is getting the better of me now.  I am so excited.  I can't wait to be out there and also I really can't wait to go to the Australian Flower Market just outside Sydney.  (More photo's to follow when I get back.)

Recently I have met with a few brides who wanted to include something that would help them to remember people that can't be with them to share their day.  I arrived at my Mum's house today and her garden is looking so beautiful.  So I grabbed my secateurs and here are a few ideas that I played with whilst waiting for my holiday washing!

I love forget-me-nots.  A little vase of forget-me-nots on the table would look beautiful.  They are so delicate and so gorgeous.  And if Blue isn't your colour you can also get them in white.  A little touch in your bouquet too?

My granny was a silversmith and she made this beautiful silver vase. 

And take a look at this lovely buttonhole, wrapped with Old lace and a pearl pin, perfect for the Groom or Father of the Bride.

Whilst rummaging in my Mum's garden I came across these beauties.  The are meant to be woodland yellow primroses, but somehow they have adopted the most beautiful antique tinge to the yellow.  Just couldn't help myself.

So in a couple of weeks time I will be back and full of photo's to show you all my news.  Until then have a Brilliant Easter and if you lucky enough to have sun enjoy it!
