St. Valentines Day.


The 14th of February. One of the most romantic days of the year. We just love surprising your special someone with gorgeous displays of flowers. Our special recommendation this year is our 12 red roses. With this bouquet you can really claim to "Light up her life!"

Weddings and Wedding Fayres.

It isnt even the end of January and we've been busy with weddings and Fayres.

Our first wedding of the year saw a classical hand-tied bouquet of white tulips. Absoloutely gorgeous if we may say so ourselves!

Sunday was the Weigh Inn Wedding Fayre in Thurso. As usual we had to do the odd one or two pieces that caught everyones eye! Not only did the brides comment on these designs but also the other exhibitors! It was a very busy day and we enjoyed talking to all the brides to be about all things floral :)

Here's to the start of a new decade!

Welcome to 2010. We hope you all had a lovely christmas and send our best wishes for the new year.

Its hard to beieve that only ten years ago we were welcoming the new millennium. I was only 14, still in school and had a mobile that looked like a brick in comparison to my new one!

Floristry, like the world, evolves. New techniques, new flower varities and most importantly new ideas. After all, if people didnt have ideas the world would stand still.

Personally for this new year, I hope to get a lot more project work done. Using flowers in unusual styles and places, using accessories that you wouldnt normally link with flowers and using a bit of photography trickery.

Below are a few snippets of what, hopefully, has a lot more to come.
