Just uploading some new photos of spring weddings, here’s a shot of the bride’s wall-of-flowers style bouquet from a gorgeous gypsophila themed wedding from a few weeks back. More photos of the church and venue to be uploaded over the weekend!

Lots of fresh flowers, flowering plants, and Easter decorations and gifts in the shop to celebrate the Easter holiday!

We will be open on Good Friday 9am to 6pm, Holy Saturday 10am to 5pm, and closed on Easter Monday.  We will be open again at 9am Tuesday morning.

Have a happy and peaceful Easter weekend!

If you haven’t found Bloomsday on Pinterest yet, be sure to add us for lots of wedding flower and home decor ideas. We love Pinterest for inspiration, and have found most of our brides do, too! Here’s a peek at a board we’ve put together with a ‘pop of colour’ theme…lots of pretty pastels that are given a punch of colour with bright cobalt, coral, and buttercup yellow. Great for summer brides!

I love love Pinterest, it’s fabulous for wedding inspiration and I love being able to put together ideas to share with our brides and inspire my own work!  I have lots of boards for wedding flowers, for all different seasons and types of arrangements…I thought I’d start sharing some of the images here.  These photos aren’t our own work, they are real life weddings and professionally styled photo shoots that have made their way on to the web to be shared with other brides and designers.

I thought we’d start with jars–super popular right now as a quirky, inexpensive, easily customised table centre arrangement.  Whether it’s just a group of washed out jam jars or a careful collection of vintage glassware, it all looks so pretty!

Loved these coloured glass bottles and jars, the cobalt blue glass really adds to the effect…click the link to see more photos:

This simple treatment with a summery bunch and raffia bow is perfect for using your pew ends as table centres.  Love the table number and log slice detail too!

Another cute idea is to group jars together and tie with twine, raffia, or ribbon, to make one big bunch.  Make an impact with just a few jars of flowers:

We are six today!  Happy Birthday to us and a Happy Bloomsday to everyone!

I was haunting Etsy looking at pretty things and I ran across wedding stationer Bella Baroque Designs, a collection of letterpress wedding accessories by designer Barbara Stanaitis.  Imagine recieving one of these boxed invitations, with custom calligraphy and an instant collection of vintage stamps!  And that’s even before you ever get to the ornate but delicately designed invitation which is a little work of art in itself.

I was also drawn to these wedding favour tins embellished with circular lettterpressed labels bearing a custom monogram, so gorgeous and colourful!  Such a beautiful detail to add to your wedding tablescape.
