Seasonal Christmas wreaths from The Garden Gate Flower Company

I am slowly beginning to admit that Christmas is on the way, what with my recent blog feature on those stunning festive dessert tables and now Christmas wreaths and workshops.

I absolutely love wreaths, I wish that we were more like the States and had wreaths for different seasons and celebrations throughout the year, and not just Christmas – anyone else up for starting this trend?  Perhaps The New Wives Club could get a group of us to make a wreath for each month of 2013 and we could share our pictures?  Am I getting carried away 🙂

The Blue Carrot wreath

A number of the lovely florists and flower farmers listed on the TNWC directory have started to release details of upcoming wreath workshops and how to order their Christmas wreaths online, so I thought to help you all out I’d do a feature to showcase a lot of them all in one place.

Plus, there are a couple of exclusive discounts for TNWC readers below, so don’t miss out on those!

In support of seasonal British wedding flowers – my feature for Unique Bride Magazine

Unique Bride Magazine seasonal wedding flowers article

I love seasonal, British flowers.  I want to take my love for seasonal, British grown flowers and share it with you all.  This week sees the launch of a fabulous new wedding magazine called Unique Bride Magazine (if you haven’t already seen me shouting about it on Facebook and Twitter).  I was lucky enough to be invited to write an article for the launch issue and my copy arrived in today’s post.

Seasonal wedding flowers

I chose for my article to reflect my love of seasonal, British grown wedding flowers and to showcase to brides-to-be the beautiful options that are out there if you look just a little further afield.  Rather than rambling on about why I love seasonal, British flowers I’ll let you read my article and be inspired (Issue 1 of Unique Bride Magazine goes on sale in WHSmith from tomorrow 26th April) by some of what the seasons have to offer.
