<br />
Can't get the tech to publish a new page and the flyer says the information is available on the blog. So what the flyer says, one must make available, even if not on a page.<br />
<br />
So here it is.<br />
<br />
Our little Manchester based Flower School is growing. We are very proud of our Classes for the Florally Curious, and very soon, we'll have a blog entirely dedicated to them. And a newsletter. I know, grand plans are afoot.<br />
<br />
We have a lovely, loyal following of people who love flower arranging, styling and learning floristry techniques, so we've thought about it and created a few new little ideas.<br />
<br />
Here they are, just in time for Christmas. We are just about to launch our 2015 Flower School dates, which will be published here.<br />
<br />
<strong>Florally Loyal and Continuously Curious</strong><br />
This is our new Loyalty Scheme, starting in January 2015. When you attend our classes, you will get a little stamp on a new loyalty card. There is no time limit to the card, so if you come every month, or twice a year, you can still save up. When you get to six classes, you can opt to get a discount voucher worth £15 off of your next class, or keep going and get ten stamps and your eleventh class in on us. Hurrah! <br />
<br />
<strong>Flower School Voucher</strong><br />
£35 for a 'Classes for the Florally Curious' Flower School voucher. Redeemable against any of our evening classses, subject to availability.<br />
<br />
<strong>Florally Curious Flower School Voucher</strong><br />
£195. Advance purchase five classes and your sixth class is £20 instead of £35. This is a the perfect gift for someone who loves flowers as a hobby and loves a little floral indulgence every now and then. Must be used in one calendar year and the same person must be in attendance.<br />
<br />
<strong>Very Florally Curious Flower School Voucher</strong><br />
£315. Advance purchase ten classes (must be used within one calendar year and the same person must be in attendance) and the tenth class is on us. The classes you attend are up to you. You can attend any ten that we run within the year.<br />
<br />
<strong>Brides that are Curious Flower School Voucher</strong><br />
£195. This is the perfect gift for a bride to be, friend or relative who dabbles in wedding blooms, or is braving doing their own wedding blooms. Across the year, we run six classes that have a focus on the skills you need for wedding floristry.<br />
<br />
<strong>Groups that are Florally Curious</strong><br />
For groups of four or more attending on one evening, we offer the class at £32 per person instead of £35 per person. Just about enough to get a glass of wine at a local establishment once the class has finished!<br />
<br />

should put this one into play.<br />
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Fundraising. To support my brothers
cycle from London to Paris to raise a mountain of pennies for a
charity that supports a cause which I know is close to the hearts of
his family, mine and many of my friends.
</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
I'm not normally one to be so personal
on the blog. I tend to stick to flowers. I am a florist. Makes
sense. Occassionally I digress. I say occasionally. Total fib.
There's been a bit of science on here of late. Ambitious.</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
I was simply going to donate some money
myself, then realised I could do more with the money I was going to
donate. Use it to run an event where I could do a little more
fundraising. Raise awareness. Involve people. Run a demonstration.
Do a raffle. (Everybody loves a raffle do they not?)</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
So, here it is. My idea.</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b>An Evening of Fundraising with
Flowers</b></div>
Date: Thursday 10 July 2014<br />
Time: 6.30pm to 8.15pm.<br />
Cost: £10 per ticket – ALL of which
goes to <a href="http://www.action.org.uk/" target="_blank">'Action Medical Research For Children'</a>.<br />
Included in the ticket is a strip of
complimentary raffle tickets and a small gift from me.<br />
Where: And The Dish Ran Away With The
Spoon, Burton Road, West Didsbury, Manchester.<br />
Drinks and cake can be purchased on the
night up until 7pm directly from the Cafe.<br />

<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<strong>On the night expect:</strong></div>
<ul><strong>
</strong>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<strong>A floral demonstration by me</strong></div>
<strong>
</strong>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<strong>To pick up a few tips and tricks
of the floral trade</strong></div>
<strong>
</strong>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<strong>A little bit of unexpected fun
(there's always a surprise)</strong></div>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<strong>An auction – yep, bring your
pennies, I'll be auctioning off the flowers I create</strong></div>
</li>
</li>
</li>
</li>
</ul>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
In all seriousness, the evening is
about raising some money for a seriously important cause. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The Charity that will benefit is
'Action Medical Research For Children' with information about them on
their website. <span style="color: navy;"><span lang="zxx"><u><a href="http://www.action.org.uk/">http://www.action.org.uk/</a></u></span></span>
My brother's personal explanation of why he is fundraising for them
is here: <span style="color: navy;"><span lang="zxx"><u><a href="http://www.action.org.uk/sponsor/edhall">http://www.action.org.uk/sponsor/edhall</a></u></span></span>
I will let you read it yourselves. I am sure that in some way,
whether through your own experiences, or the experiences of those
that you love, you can relate to his reasons for wanting to support
the charity. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">

So, dig deep, book a place and get in
the floral mood. Tell your friends. Bring your husbands. Pursuade
the person sitting next to you at work. Come along because you love
flowers, or simply because you are my friend and want to see the
evening be a success.</div>
<br />

Thank you in advance and see you there!</div>

Men. If you need clarification. If she has done any of the following, please take it with the subtlety of a sledgehammer through a glass window that yes, she would like something ordered. <br />
a. Sent you a direct link via email or social media<br />
b. Laughed out loud in your presence and said that she finds this incredibly funny and that you 'really should have a look at this'<br />
c. Left the page open on your jointly owned tablet in the hope you'll see it<br />
d. Made it quite clear and told you outright<br />
<br />
I am of the 'b' variety. Generally this means I get nothing. I draw the line at making my own Valentines gift. Ladies, (or gents, you too, you may well like flowers) be subtle at your peril.<br />
<br />
<strong>THE PRICE LIST</strong><br />
<strong>£15 Single Red</strong> - Single red rose set with foliages inspired by nature.<br />
<strong>£25 Small Bunch</strong> - Hand selected seasonal blooms* and greens inspired by nature.<br />
<strong>£35 Lovely Bunch</strong> - Hand selected seasonal blooms* and greens inspired by nature. <br />
<strong>£35 Class Voucher</strong> for one of our 'Classes for the Florally Curious'.<br />
<strong>£40 Half Dozen Red</strong> - Half a dozen beautiful red roses set with foliages inspired by nature.<br />
<strong>£45 Good Bunch</strong> - Hand selected seasonal blooms* and greens inspired by nature. <br />
<strong>£55 Big Bunch</strong> - Hand selected seasonal blooms* and greens inspired by nature.<br />
<strong>£65 Dozen red</strong> - A dozen red roses set with foliages inspired by nature.<br />
<strong>£75 Oh My</strong> - Hand selected seasonal blooms* and greens inspired by nature.<br />
<br />
<strong>The Lovers Deal - £5 off any of the above flower prices when you purchase a voucher for one of our 'Classes for the Florally Curious'</strong> at the same time. ie Single Red and a Class Voucher would total £45.<br />
<br />
All bouquets are wrapped in our signature gift wrapping. Brown Kraft Paper, clear cellophane and finished with an elegant finish of grey and red grosgrain ribbon. Hand written gift tag and flower food are included.<br />
<br />
THE DETAILS<br />
All or our bouquets are designed to fit within our house style. We simply can't compete on price with major high street supermarkets and department stores, so we've opted for doing what we do best. Quality.<br />
<br />
All flowers will be looked after by us. Think of us as floral babysitters. Conditioned to last, hand selected for their beauty and we're staying away from cost cutting foliages and sticking to beautiful blooms. Expect lovely eucalyptus, touches of thlaspi green bell and whatever takes our hearts on our buying day. Roses will be long stem, large headed 'Freedom Roses'. We are happy to create bouquets using Grand Prix. Please quadruple the above costs.<br />
<br />
The *seasonal blooms that we use will be just that. The absolute best that we can buy for the money. There will be a complete mix and they may not even be red. Roses won't be included unless they 'work' as part of the designs. Hand chosen to be simply beautiful and to reflect our own personal love of all things nature inspired, you could get anything. It might be tulips mixed with ranunculus, it might be some broom. What it won't be is 'bulked' out with the 'not nice' stuff. Gerbera are off the list. These designs are perfect for the person who simply loves flowers, whatever they are.<br />
<br />

You can order your bouquet directly from us. Email us the following by Monday 10th February (ideally) or Tuesday 11th February (at a push.) We're on <a href="mailto:laura@lauracolemanflowers.co.uk">laura@lauracolemanflowers.co.uk</a>.<br />

<br />
Yesterday was a giddy day.<br />
<br />
The day before that was full of stress.<br />
<br />
And now I can breath.<br />
<br />
Today, Her Majesty The Queen was presented with a posy of flowers that I created when she went for luncheon (yep, they call it that in Downton Abbey, rather grand) at The Monastery in Gorton. She will sit at a table in front of the table displays we created. I tell you, that vaseware hasn't gleamed this much since I don't know when.<br />
<br />
We were commissioned by The Monastery to create some displays for a very VIP lady. There were details I needed to follow including red. white and blue blooms. But The Monastery put their trust in me for the overall design. We worked our magic. It would have been all too easy to go with expensive roses, set with standard foliages because they were a safe bet. Too easy to say, yep, let's put everything in. Not us. We took a step back. We kept it seasonal. We put an autumn spin on the shades we used. We used the interiors and intricate details of the nave at The Monastery as our starting point. We used British narcissus. We bought all the flowers at the wholesaler because they have looked after us for years. At this point I did not know the design was to be for H.R.H. Luckily the Monastery team loved what we came up with. Phew and thank you.<br />
<br />
So, hurricane lamps and seasonal wreaths it was.<br />
<br />
On the day they could officially tell me that The Queen was visiting I was giddier than a spinning stop. I stopped talking I was so giddy. Those who know me know that silencing me is tricky. Then they mentioned posies. I was so quiet that they checked I was still on the line. They invited me to design this however I wanted to. It was my gift to her. So, I thought about it. Again, I kept it seasonal. Agapanthus, oak, seeded eucalyptus, thlaspi, rosemary, gentiana, faded autumn hydrangea, pincushion flower seed pods, ammi, waxflower, ranunculus and British narcissus. The first attempt at the bouquet I wasn't my relaxed self. I didn't like it. I shook. I have never shaken with flowers before. Not even with too much caffeine. So I calmed down. I started again. I smiled and thought about it. Her Majesty is a family woman. So I thought of my family. What would my Grandmother like? So I made it for her.<br />
<br />
I know my Grandmother will love the design. I hope The Queen did too.<br />
<br />
Here are some pictures. In my garden. Due to being searched by a Police team, all vases, toolboxes and water sprays examined and the flowers needing to be checked out by Colin the sniffer dog, we couldn't put them on the tables today. It all went in in secret on Wednesday. Excitement indeed.<br />
<br />

On a personal note. Thank you to my daughters nursery for looking after her at short notice so that I could carry out this once in a lifetime commission. And to Lisa and her Mum for sorting their diaries at the drop of a hat. All these things put my mind at rest that both the flowers and my little girl were in the safest of hands. </div>

When given the challenge of black and white for a wedding. One could start researching roses. One could research stocks. One could look at black stones. I'll never research black stones. That's just the way it is. Sorry.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Then there's the way my mind works. Black and white you say? No problem. According to science, white is the colour the eyes of a human sees when it looks at light which contains all the wavelengths of the visible spectrum. (Reference, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White#Optics" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a>). Thank you Wikipedia.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So, my black and white was inspired by the works of clever old Isaac Newton.</div>

There was a mixer. And empty flour bags.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
There was a day some time in September.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In attendance were people who may have considered that I had lost the plot. I proved them wrong, naturally. It is entirely possible to create designs from things that would otherwise wind up in the recycling. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
There were many flowers. One I can't remember the name of. It happens to us all. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Here's what happened when we did a <a href="http://lauracolemanflowers.blogspot.co.uk/p/classes-for-florally-curious_6.html" target="_blank">Floral Demonstration for the Florally Curious</a> at the pop up cafe run by <a href="http://www.dishandspoonfood.co.uk/" target="_blank">And The Dish Ran Away with the Spoon</a>.</div>

<br />
Blooms. It's never too early. According to my family, I walked, then there were flowers. Almost before food. Clearly hadn't discovered chocolate at that point, or there may have been a different order to things.<br />
<br />
So, because no child is going to want to get involved in the latest garden inspired floral fashions, we've focussed on it being more about what they want.<br />
<br />
There's cake. There's spiders. There's face painting. There's colouring (although it doesn't say that on the picture, that's a surprise). There's stories. There's a cuppa for Mum, Dad or other responsible adult.<br />
<br />
Here is it. Flowereen. A morning of spooky floral fun at And The Dish Ran Away With The Spoon.<br />
<br />
Boo!<br />

He's a bobby. She is the most organised person in the whole of South Manchester. Law and Order. Clever.</div>

Order had met me in <a href="http://www.the-metropolitan.co.uk/" target="_blank">The Met</a>. I'd just had a baby. I was holding it together. Just. She was kind. She was patient. We talked blooms. We worked out the best way forward for a DIY and 'but I'm not confident with that bit' combo.</div>

There was a <a href="http://www.dishandspoonfood.co.uk/" target="_blank">class</a>. There was cake. They brought Veuve. They also brought copper beech. And a six foot branch. And many, many, many, many jam jars. They had a lesson, we created tablecentres. In the studio I created the bouquets. We wrapped birch bark round the bouquet. I have wrapped birch bark round many things over the years. Oh my.</div>

The sun was a shining. The <a href="http://www.hilltopcountryhouse.co.uk/" target="_blank">venue</a> had a herb garden. (The herb garden bit was probably more exciting to me than most.) There was a hound. The hound did not attend the wedding. It belonged to the owners Daughter-In-Law. This has nothing to do with the flowers, but it is great scene setting stuff. I think the hound was a Spaniel. I'm not good on hound breeds. </div>

They got married. There was a <a href="http://thewhitecloset.co.uk/" target="_blank">Pettibone</a> dress. There were blue Nigella in the mix. It was always going to be a good'un. </div>

<br />
Florally Curious beginners are most welcome. If you've been before, you're most welcome too. You know the form. Newbies will soon figure out how it all comes together.<br />
<br />
We used to name the classes, but this year I'll be designing classes as I go along. Expect seasonal flowers and lots of colour. Unusual containers are a recurrent theme. I'm toying with the idea of bean cans. I'll see.<br />
<br />
Sometimes we use Oasis, sometimes we don't. Occassionally there's more containers than flowers. That's because we look at styling. Sometimes there's no containers at all. That's just the way it is.<br />
<br />
Here's the list, with a few hints at what joys may come your way.<br />
Thursday 7th November 2013. Working with pure white.<br />
Thursday 21 November 2013. Classic designs.<br />
Thursday 5th December 2013. Wreath making. There will be large bows. <em>Class subject to change. We're waiting on news of the Burton Road lights being switched on.</em><br />
Thursday 12th December 2013. Another wreath making. Bows are de rigeur. <em>We're going to have to move this to another date. Most likely Wednesday 11 December.</em> <br />
Thursday 23 January 2014. Inspired by the bare branches of winter.<br />
Thursday 27 February 2014. I love thee. Flowers. And chocolate.<br />
Thursday 27 March 2014. Think scented spring.<br />
<br />
They will be taking place at the home of all things cakey, <a href="http://www.dishandspoonfood.co.uk/" target="_blank">'And the Dish Ran Away with the Spoon'</a>, Burton Road, West Didsbury, Manchester. <br />
<br />
£35* for a two hour floral class starting at 6.30pm including tea or coffee, cakes and blooms. *Christmas Classes are £40 and start at 6.15pm. Usually, all classes are finished by 8.15pm so that we can all be tucked up with a cocoa by 9pm. Rock and floral roll.<br />
<br />
We provide: <br />
- Tea and cake on arrival, naturally <br />
- All the things you'll need <br />
- Blooms, right posh ones, like the ones you see at nice weddings <br />
- Pinnies and scissors for you to borrow so you look the part<br />
- Mucho natter about Strictly Come Dancing<br />
<br />
You leave with: <br />
- Your floral creation <br />
- Secrets from the floral world <br />
- Newly found skills and knowledge <br />
- A full tummy and a cake addiction<br />
<br />
To book, email <a href="mailto:laura@lauracolemanflowers.co.uk">laura@lauracolemanflowers.co.uk</a> with your name and the class or classes you're interested in. Payment is required (via bank transfer) to confirm your place.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4664290968734213268.post-45793883014587585092013-03-17T20:21:00.001+00:002013-03-17T20:21:09.417+00:00SpringA practice. To see if this upload works. If so it is outright marvellous. Hurrah!<br />
<br />
You will see ranunculus, bupleurum, roses, seeded eucalyptus a some very chunky candles. You lucky sausages you.<br />

<br />
Here's a brief overview.<br />
<br />
We are looking to recruit a Florist and Studio Coordinator to be part of the team. It is a vital role as it is to continue maternity cover for the Company Director until her return, and ideally beyond this time. As such we are looking for:<br />
<ul>
<li>A reliable person with a can do attitude </li>
<li>A person with a good dose of common sense and the ability to take the initiative</li>
<li>A happy team player who has the capability to work alone </li>
<li>Passionate, honest and a heart of gold </li>
</ul>
Floristry skills are a must and the role will include: <br />
<ul>
<li>Taking delivery of and conditioning flowers </li>
<li>Floristry skills related to full preparation for weddings and events to a specified brief</li>
<li>Coordinating the delivery of weddings and events and occasionally, smaller contracts on time and to order</li>
<li>Operationally taking responsibility for ensuring that the weddings and events are delivered to a high standard</li>
<li> Collecting glassware and vaseware from site following a wedding, event or smaller contract</li>
<li> ......and all the things in between such as studio housekeeping, stock checking and good old fashioned cleaning and tidying.</li>
</ul>
<div>
The potential for the role to include a Social Media element is there, but not vital.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>

<div>
</div>
<div>

Peach jeans were in. They've come back round I believe. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">One day I shall show you a picture of our baby girl who I carried for nine months and brought into the World in August 2012. I will naturally style the photo to reflect that she is a florists daughter. This gives us options. </span><br />
<br />
Option A - Anne Geddes style. Baby dressed as a flower sat in a flower.<br />
Option B - In a flowerpot. <br />
Option C - Wiring buttonholes. We have to wait 16 years for this option.<br />
<br />
Votes on a postcard please.<br />
<br />
Blog updating will resume shortly. In the meantime, you'll have to have a nosey at what's here. This is useful is you're planning a spring wedding. That was the last time I updated it. Bad blogger.<br />

OK, so the Groom would say it has to be red this season. I have no idea. The weekly updates on whether it's going to be red or blue are beyond what my mental arithmetic on points, games in hand (whatever that means) and goal difference mathematics can muster.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I'm not from Manchester originally. I have no allegiance to the blues nor the reds. If I had to say there is a family loyalty to any team. It would be Swindon Town FC I suppose. You can see my passion is with flowers.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So, as promised. Here is a few pictures from a purple wedding. I thought I'd keep it neutral. Colour wheel combinations and all that.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Such a beautiful day. Sun shone. Team out in force. Delphinium. Lilac. Tulips. Roses. Many, many others. All at St John's Church in lovely Chorlton and then at Great John Street Hotel, Manchester.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
One of my favourite flowers featured. Lilac. In all manor of shades. Also, one can't forget the tuberose. It's scented. One can't go wrong with scented.</div>

For this one, I didn't need to do the writing. It's all there in the pic.<br />
<br />
Was it raining when this picture was taken? There's a 50/50 chance you'll get it right. Guesses in the comments box please.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4664290968734213268.post-46486586665045822362012-04-19T11:41:00.002+01:002012-04-19T11:41:12.202+01:00Green. It's the new black.<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Every now and then you get a request for green. Green and white. And Lily of the Valley. Lily of the Valley is my Mum's favourite. Thank goodness for old fashioned soaps <a href="http://www.woodsofwindsor.co.uk/lily-of-the-valley-soap.html" target="_blank">like this</a>. Timeless. I miss the wooden crate that the lemon shaped soap used to come in. Now it's on a rope. Never mind.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Anyway.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
There was indeed Lily of the Valley. There was bark. There were green roses. There was The Monastery.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
All in all a fabulous floral display. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
PS The Lily of the Valley arrives like this. I plant the roots after they are cut. You never know your luck.</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This weekend there will be hay bales, there will be frocks, hopefully there will be a chocolate fountain. There will be flowers, there will be a watering can (possibly), maybe even a bird bath.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Most certainly there will be the launch of 'Classes for the Florally Curious Bride' at the <a href="http://www.allwrappedupevents.co.uk/WEDDING-CARNIVAL.html" target="_blank">Wedding Carnival, this Saturday at Salford City Reds Stadium</a>. There is a <a href="http://vimeo.com/38649943" target="_blank">video for this wedding carnival</a> and everything. Our flowers are in it. This delighful and colourful number, cleverly shot by Craig of Unforgettable Memories. Clever stuff.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
On Saturday at 12.45pm and 2.45pm we will be running a little taster session to introduce you to what it might me like to be a florally curious bride. I'll keep what you'll be learning a surprise, don't worry, no frogs, fireworks or fire breathing aparatus is involved. Twelve lovely brides are welcome to attend each session, so, if you fancy dabbling in floral curiosities email All Wrapped Up (they're the wedding carnival organisers you see) to book yourself a spot on <a href="mailto:info@allwrappedupevents.co.uk">info@allwrappedupevents.co.uk</a> <<a href="mailto:info@allwrappedupevents.co.uk">info@allwrappedupevents.co.uk</a>>. Please, one place per bridal party due to limited spaces.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The big class is set to run on Monday 23 April 2012 and if you like, you can book onto it with me, Laura, the Flower Lady. Here's the spiffing new artwork that we've just had done. (We being And the Dish Ran Away With The Spoon and For the Love of Vintage that is.)</div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Where there is tuberose there is scent. They are one of my favourites. Delicate pink buds that flower into well, a lovely cream colour with pretty edges. The smell is quite lovely. Some may say charming, others say delightful, one could even say the smell is darling, but one is not the Queen, so lovely it is.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This was the weekend of Mother's Day. There were many, many tulips. I also made a Victoria Sponge. It was for the boys. They were taking up the decking. I burnt the edges (of the sponge, not the decking.) They seemed to worry not. I think that when there's crow bars, drills and mallets involved in a project, one worries not about burnt edges.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Irish Stew I made also went down a treat.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In other news, the additional flowers for the wedding included hyacinth, tulips, waxflower, eucalyptus, roses, freesia, muscari and hellebore. Prize of a Sherbert Dip Dab available for first person to submit the name that is more commonly used to refer to a hellebore. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Answers can be submitted by pigeon, email or snail mail. I would suggest email....the other two are slower and could cost you a Sherbert Dip Dab.</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Don't fear, no lions will be present. No elephants either. There will be blooms. There will be cake (one is always happy when there is cake) and there will be bright colours. Naturally.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
On <a href="http://www.allwrappedupevents.co.uk/WEDDING-CARNIVAL.html" target="_blank">Saturday 24th March 2012 at the Salford City Reds Stadium</a>.....you know, the one you can see from the Barton Bridge on your way to the Trafford Centre. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We'll be there, not only with a stand designed with a garden in mind (more on that later) but also two sessions where we'll be demonsrating simple ideas to add a personal touch to your wedding. You see, when we're involved, we don't like to just say 'roll up, roll up, come and see a flower demo'....we say 'sleeves up, sleeves up, your're going to have a go.' That's just the way we do things round here.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We'll be releasing more information on the timings and the detail for that next week. </div>

So, if you haven't already guessed it, be there or be square. Come dressed as a clown if you fancy, or a ringmaster, or a trapeze artist (if I could carry off head to toe diamante encrusted Lycra I would) or a Brazilian dance artist or possibly a hip hop street performer and come along to have a right good nose at what the clever people exhibiting have got to offer. Those wearing normal attire also most welcome.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
See you there!</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4664290968734213268.post-18964654082961879102012-03-13T16:18:00.003+00:002012-03-13T16:21:26.441+00:00The ribbon inspired me for Mother's DayI'm a florist with a penchant for ribbon. I have equal penchant for shoes, but commercially they don't work on bouquets. <br />
<br />
This year is was the Best Of British ribbon that did it. There were two to choose from, I went for the one you see below. Next year I might use the other. We'll see.<br />
<br />
Price range from £4.50 for a bunch of fives (tulips, not the other sort of bunch of fives) to £22.00 for 100 of the finest British grown mixed daffy's and narcissus all wrapped in brown paper and delicate white tissue and finished with a length of <strike>shoes</strike> ribbon.<br />
<br />
To order these sort of blooms or a bespoke bouquet including flowers of your liking, contact me on 07941 888654 or email <a href="mailto:laura@lauracolemanflower.co.uk">laura@lauracolemanflower.co.uk</a> by Thursday (or Friday if you're running a bit late) and I'll give you the delivery lowdown.<br />
