Fabulous London

This is a photograph of Number One Daughter with some very beautiful flowers in The Novotel in Hammersmith, the flowers were provided by First Impression 02077209070

More tales of the London trip later on today, and here they are....

So whistle stop visit, the brief was to pack in as much of Rebecca’s London life as possible, my 1st born is at LAMDA in Barons Court, she wanted us to stay in a hotel on the same line as her so we found ourselves at The Novotel in Hammersmith (We won’t be staying there again!).

We finished work at about 5:00, we arrived about 9:00, Rebecca met us in the foyer of the hotel, (the very best thing about this hotel is the flowers) we then set off on foot for The Curtain Up, I actually witnessed my own daughter drink from a pint glass (quite horrifying), then a series of tubes to Berkley Square and Benares table booked for 10:00, fantastic Indian food, the Tandoor cooked lamb chops were amazing (Rebecca had not been there before, students don’t usually, but this was our treat, her house mates have been to The Ivy etc with their parents so as Liv would say “What ya gonna do?”). Back at the hotel for 1:30am sleep…. 8:00 am alarm, a walk, then a bus (me on a bus, can you imagine, apparently I looked mighty out of place) and then a series of tubes (remember this is her lifestyle not ours) more walking and we arrive at Electric Brassiere for a superb brunch, Rebecca chose a breakfast Smoothie & eggs Benedict, Jason had a Bloody Mary and a massive Breakfast, I had the most delicious French Toast with Pecan & Maple butter mmmm.

Rebecca then went back for some rehearsals for a couple of hours but not before introducing us to Humming Bird Bakery we bought a box full of “Red Velvet Cup Cakes” for the girls at Flower Design.

Jason & I went to investigate loads of different Flower Shops our favourite was “Angel Flowers” in Islington, great shop, lovely flowers and the staff were really knowledgeable.

Ottolenghi is one of my favourite places so I bought a feast of take home goodies for tonight’s dinner and a very special packed lunch for Olivia to take to school today. A few doors up was a wine shop with a difference The Sampler, here’s the thing they allow you to sample loads of different wines from inexpensive £8.99 quaffing wines to the King of Spain’s favourite “Vega Sicilia Unico 1969 at £450.00, you can buy as little as two mouthfuls to taste which was just brilliant, Jason bought 2 bottles (The King of The Fylde’s Favourite Barolo) to go with the Ottolenghi purchases.

Then to another pub “The Barnsbury” where we met Rebecca and Ben (Mark & Claire’s son also studying in London) we enjoyed a fantastical Sunday Dinner and enjoyed their company it all ended too soon and we were back on the tube, bus and finally car arriving on The Fylde in the early hours, today I’m exhausted, I’m also lead to believe this is Rebecca’s lifestyle non stop, oh to be a teenager!

Wedding at Storrs Hall, Bowness on Windermere in The Lake District

This is the wonderful wedding day of Jackie & Andrew Aukland, an Easter wedding with lots of lovely friends and family... Jason & I set off extra early on Easter Monday to avoid any holiday traffic, the weather was sensational, just the right number of clouds to make the sky intresting.

So we took advantage of our spare hour or so and did a little exploring, I also wanted to photograph the wild spring wedding bouquet in a landscape that it was created for.

Storrs Hall is quite simply Glorious, the setting is superb, the gardens exquisite, the food delicious and the management and staff couldn't be more helpful if they tried.

Meet Jan van Stipriaan and his stupendous Storrs Hall team, Jason and I work in lots of fabulous locations but so often it's the C&B teams that really give a venue its character the "likeability" factor and these guys were absolutely excellent from start to finish.
I have to admit I was in love with this wedding bouquet, the ingredients were all things I feel passionate about, I'd used fresh trailing early summer Jasmine, Lily of the Valley, Forget me nots, Blue Bells, Sweet Peas, Gloriosa Rothschild, Paper Whites, Dill, double tulips and lovely Roses, who could ask for more?

The bridesmaids bouquets were smaller versions of the bridal bouquet.

Now Jackie is very particular, she has excellent taste and knew how important making the right choices for her flowers were, so I was more than a little anxious when I delivered the bouquets up to her room I just hoped that she would love the bridal bouquets as much as I did...

The bridesmaid's were all there to give me moral support and to learn about "Flower Fairies"

And oh the relief, Jackie loved her bouquet

These moments are why I love being a florist, Jackie & I both laughed and both cried... tears of joy I might add.

The Rotunda in Storrs is just lovely, it creates a very special atmosphere.

The detail is lovely, the eggs on the bare branches were delightful

This is Michelle's wrist corsage, it's created on a diamante bracelet and we've used a combination of White Phalaenopsis & Dendrobium Orchids with fresh Lily of the Valley.

The Groom's special Boutonierre


Best Man's Cezanne Rose Boutonierre

Andrew the extremely handsome groom

Robert a very talented pianist

Here's Myra looking quite fabulous

Barbara & Robert who provided the mose exquisite musical entertainment.

Dax was giving the bride away

The flowers for the ceremony were very simple and realxed.

I scattered some Cezanne rose petals on the registrars table and arranged some co ordinating flowers in a small cut crystal vase I'd found in the "Flower Room" in the cellars at Storrs.

The view is splendid, the important guests get to sit on relaxed sofas to watch the proceedings.

The vase includes a stem of Almond Blossom, Forget me nots, Blue Bells, Peony "Sarah Bernhardt" and Gloriosa.


The photographer was lovely Steve who'd just come up the road from Windermere, he was really lovely to work with and I'm looking forward to seeing his photographs. This is I very much hope a link to his web site Steve Holcroft Photography and his Blog

The procession down the stairs was a very elegant one, everyone looked gorgeous.



A pause in the rotunda for some piccies

A sneaky picture through the window as the rings are exchanged

A view from above

The very happy couple Mr & Mr Aukland with their super beautiful flower girls Louisa & Pippa in attendance.

The flowers were just perfect for the day and the setting.

Jackie was a most elegant, classy and beautiful bride.

Louisa and Pippa wearing shot taffetta gowns in "Raspberry Splash" & "Winter white"

Everyone spilled out onto the terrace with their Champagne Bucks Fizz

The Bridesmaid's posies complimented the colour balance of the two gowns we used a lovely double tulip alongside, Blue bells, sweet peas and Foget me nots a very innocent combination perfect these two beautiful little girls.
Kim looked fabulous as chief bridesmaid I added a little more sophistication to Kim's bouquet with the addition of peonies.

Fabulous white peonies, Raspberry Ranununculas and the last of this seasons Viburnum Opulus.

The dining room at Storrs Hall can seat about 120 guests, it has bags of old English charm

I used a combination of three designs Candelabras, Tall table stands & Low Candle cluster designs, they were all finished off with copious amounts of Easter Eggs.

Kim's Bridesmaid's bouquet was easily managed even with a glass of Bucks Fizz in the same hand.

Cheeky!

White Avalanche Roses, Broom & Forget me Nots.

The menu sounded utterly delicious

The tables are all laid expertly with beautifully laundered napkins and perfectly polished glasses and silver ware. Flowers always look better on well laid tables.

The table flowers included lots of fragrant herbs including Rosemary, Dill, Peppermint & Eucalyptus the scent was enhanced by the warmth of the candles and helped to create a relaxed ambience.

The dining room is beautifully lit and has fabulous views over the lake and gardens.

The furniture throughout the hotel is just lovely and all of it is immaculately polished a credit to the management team at Storrs.

I had selected flowers with a wild Lake District vibe and we used them in a natural fashion.

This table stand design complete with candles is excellent for ensuring the guests can see one another throughout dinner.

The low candle design was on the top table and created a centrepiece for the most important table

The cake was dressed with exactly the same flowers as those that were in Jackie's bouquet.

I used some Lily of the Valley, Forget me nots, blue bells, sweet peas & Cezanne & Green Tea Roses.

Jason and I left and the party was in full swing, we hope you all had a thoroughly magical day, we know we did and we'd just like to say many thanks for letting Flower Design be a part of it.

Title: Dame Kiri Te Kanawa "How Deep is the Ocean?" Irving Berlin

Dame Kiri Te Kanawa Kiri Te Kanawa gained legendary status almost overnight after her sensational debut as the Countess in Le Nozze di Figaro at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden in 1971. From then, she moved rapidly into the front rank of international opera, and has become one of the most famous sopranos in the world. At the time of her operatic debut she was already an experienced concert and recording artist, and equally at home in front of the cameras as on stage. A Gala Concert was given in February 2004 in Auckland, to launch The Kiri Te Kanawa Foundation, a charity which aims to give support and financial aid to dedicated New Zealand singers and musicians. Dame Kiri continues to devote her experience and expertise to organising and appearing at further concerts and Galas to raise funds for this Foundation and the UK based Friends of the Kiri Te Kanawa Foundation. She has also become the Founding Artistic Director of the Solti Te Kanawa Accadamia di Bel Canto, a summer course based in Italy, training the next generation of opera singers. Throughout 2008 and 2009 Dame Kiri (in addition to her mentoring , teaching and fund raising) has continued to perform in concert halls and arenas throughout the world, with performances in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Korea, England, Brazil, Turkey, Jersey, the USA, Canada, Hungary, Serbia, Greece, Spain, Thailand, Hong Kong, China, Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Germany. In June 2009 Dame Kiri was inducted into the Hollywood Bowl Hall of Fame. www.kiritekanawa.org Michael Storrs Music represents Dame Kiri Te Kanawa http://www.michaelstorrsmus... Irving Berlin set the tone and the tempo for the tunes America played and sang and danced to for much of the 20th century. By the time he was 30 he was a legend, and he went on to write the scores for 19 Broadway shows and 18 Hollywood films. The musical giant who never learned to read or write music composed his first major hit, ''Alexander's Ragtime Band,'' in 1911. ''With one song, the career of Irving Berlin and American music were intertwined forever,'' said Isaac Stern at Mr. Berlin's 100th-birthday celebration in May 1988, adding, ''American music was born at his piano.'' The last Berlin song to be noted by the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers was ''An Old-Fashioned Wedding,'' the show-stopper he wrote for a 1966 revival of ''Annie Get Your Gun.'' He often said there are only six tunes in the world. But from those six tunes he fashioned, according to his catalogue, 1,500 songs - and nobody knows how many more he may have stored somewhere. When someone admired one of his melodies, Mr. Berlin was quick to say: ''I like it, too. I've used it lots of times.'' "How Deep Is The Ocean (How High Is The Sky)" How much do I love you? I'll tell you no lie How deep is the ocean? How high is the sky? How many times in a day Do I think of you? How many roses are Sprinkled with dew? How far would I travel Just to be where you are? How far is the journey From here to a star? And if I ever lost you How much would I cry? How deep is the ocean? How high is the sky? Dear Dame Kiri Happy 66th Birthday With much admiration.
