The Highwayman for lunch

Today we had a little trip up to The lake District to meet one my lovely brides at her wedding venue up in Kendal, I'll tell you more about that tomorrow.

We had a great trip, the weather was perfect, lots of country lanes lined with daffodils, rolling hills and superb countryside complete with spring lambs.

On the way back we stopped at a fantastic pub for lunch The Highwayman, we enjoyed delicious local produce, beef from a local farm with perfectly cooked veggies and then the most stupendous Apple Pie ever eaten, light sweet pastry packed full with flavoursome apples, on the side a hunk of Lancashire cheese and jugs of Carnation Milk & proper custard.

All the staff were lovely and there was a really warm cosy atmosphere, with roaring fires, we weren't expecting a treat, we just needed feeding, but we had a great experiencee, I love it when your expectations are greatly exceeded.

These images are all taken on my new pocket size camera "Canon Ixus 85 IS"

Aqua Winter Wedding Color Palettes

Immediately after Christmas 2009, I took advantage of the sales and stocked up on ornaments and decorations in preparation for this year's decorating color scheme:   aqua, white and silver.    Well, this year my son is really in the holiday spirit and has decided to string outdoor lights with his heart set on a red, white and green color palette (think candy canes and evergreen).    Of course I want my door wreath to complement the outdoor lights as well as indoor decorations, so I will need to incorporate red and take the overall color scheme from one that resembles this:
    to this

Easter Flower Design Demonstration & Afternoon Tea at Lytham Hall

"Eggstravaganza" Flower Design's Easter Demonstration, held at the very magnificent Lytham Hall, Lytham Hall are having an Easter family fun day this weekend check out their blog for more information.

Flower Design, Rowley's Catering, Lytham Hall, Mark Holland (Opera singer) & Jonny Draper Photography all got together to create a wonderful afternoon's entertainment for all of our clients, the floral designs complete with containers were raffled off with proceeds going to Trinity Hospice in The Fylde. If you would like to be added to our mailing list for our events please send me an e-mail to jane@flowerdesign.co.uk

This is our exquisitely beautiful Flower Design Floral Easter Egg, the design is based on a Faberge Egg complete with jewels and pearls and presented on a gorgeous crystal cake plate.

Each flower & petal was individually pinned into place with either diamante pins or divine pearl silver cased pins, the effect was quite breath taking.

Each view of the egg was quite different from another.

The wonderful and very amazing Jonny Draper, my very good friend and truly brilliant photographer, Jonny took nearly all of the photographs on this posting and he also took the fabulous "Faux Wedding" photographs at our Flower Design Supper Club a few weeks ago. Jonny is an event photographer and he also photographs weddings quite superbly too. We recommend him for all of the afore mentioned reasons and also because he's great to have around and completely professional to work with so thanks Jonny for these pics they're fab!

Stephanie Dunlop & Mark Holland, we met Steph a few months ago when we were helping her with an event at Weeton Army barracks, Steph has great taste particularly in men, Mark's lovely.

Mark Holland is a spectacular Opera singer and here he is singing to our great friend Jenny Edwards (you can just see her reaction in the mirror) it was Jenny's birthday and she does enjoy a great singer. Here's Mark's Email kramdnalloh@hotmail.co.uk

Everyone seemed to have a fabulous afternoon, the savouries and cakes created by Paul Rowley and his team at Rowley's Catering were just delicious.

I think I managed to hold everyones attention

I designed Candelabras & Pot et Fleurs to make your mouth water
