I thought some of you may wonder how my commission process works so I thought I would give you a walk through of a wedding commission completed earlier this year.

In April 2015 I was trading at the awesome Whitby Goth Weekend (FYI we will be there this November too) when a couple came to chat to me about my striking little Dracula bouquet - they loved the idea of a literary bouquet & took some...

Brunswick Centre Paper flowers Paper wedding flowers Whitby Goth Weekend
It's time for our weekend break :) Well when I say break I mean three fun days trading in bizarre bazaar at the Brunswick Centre, part of the Whitby Goth Weekend music festival.

I'm back & with exciting new work on the horizon
Wow, what a busy week & it’s only Thursday! I had the wonderful privilege to exhibit at a wedding open evening at Lains Barn, Ardington yesterday evening – all a little manic as it had to fit round some pre-scheduled work & it is a 4 hour car journey for me. Was it worth it? Yes, it was I had an amazing time, the brides with their varying entourages were lovely, the exhibitors that I managed to meet were fabulous, the events team from Lains Barn were brilliant & the venue itself it gorgeous (all beams & fairy light gorgeousness...
