We Kicked-Off 2008 With Wedding Flowers at Some Stunning Scottish Venues & A Spectacular Football Event

We have had a busy start to 2008 with lots of Winter and Spring weddings. In recent months we have visited many beautiful venues throughout Scotland, some of our favourites being; Marr Hall, Renfrewshire, Atholl Palace, Pitlochry, The Prestonfield, Edinburgh, Houston House, Uphall and the new castle at Glenskirlie.

Again, this year we were involved with the Shieldhill Castle wedding fair where we enjoyed chatting to lots of brides-to-be. A big thanks to Alistair and the team, a great day was had by all!

This month we had the pleasure of designing flowers for the Scottish Premier League Awards dinner in the Kelvingrove Art Gallery. A spectacular venue! A big thanks to Lucy at World Events and Colin and his team at the Gallery for all there help.

Scottish Wedding Directory

We have been busy preparing bouquets to feature in the latest edition of The Scottish Wedding Directory (out in July). Our flowers will feature in two sections, the bridal fashion shoot and within the wedding flowers inspiration section.

Our submissions for the Bridal Fashion section include:

• A traditional hand-tied bouquet with a contemporary twist! Long stemed "grand prix" red roses framed with ivy trails.
• A simplistic hand-tied bouquet of white tulips framed with pussy willow.
• A contemporary bouquet of "schwarzwalder" black calla lilies with beargrass.

Our bouquet for the Wedding Flowers section features a funky contrasting mix of orange and cerise! Flowers included "poison" pink roses, mango calla lilies, cerise pink gerbera, orange dutch tulips, bearsgrass, finished with cordyline and aspidistra leaves.

Shieldhill Castle Wedding Fair

We had a great time this weekend manning our Wedding Flowers stand at the Shieldhill Castle Wedding Fair, meeting plenty of brides-to-be in the luxurious surroundings.

For those that have never been before, Shieldhill Castle is a great Scottish Wedding venue. Ideally situated in the picturesque Upper Clyde Valley Shieldhill boasts fantastic views across the gardens to the countryside and hills beyond. Your Ceremony can take place in the Chapel and the reception takes place in the permanent marquee which caters for up to 200 guests.

A big thank-you to Susan for arranging the day, inviting us along and making sure everything ran like clockwork. We are looking forward to decorating the Castle with beautiful wedding flowers over the coming months!
