I know it’s still summer and the last thing we are thinking about is Christmas, but these things take some planning! After the huge success of last years workshops I will be running several Christmas workshops again this year. Come and learn how to make a handmade, traditional moss backed door wreath that you will be SO proud of. The workshops will be held at the beautiful Parochial Hall on the Old High Street, Kenilworth and like last year, my mum will be serving lovely homemade cakes and tea and coffee.

I had so many lovely letters last year from proud wreath makers and I already have a que of people waiting for this years events, so please contact me if you would like to reserve a place and bring your friends and family along too!More dates may be published, depending on demand and further details to follow nearer the time. Please feel free to contact me if you’d like some more information. Tel: 01926 858128 email: ailsa@ailsasfloraldesign.com.

Cost: £30 per person Dates: Sat 3rd, Sat 10th & Sun 11th Dec.

Daily Floral Inspiration

I am so lucky living only a few steps away from Kenilworth Castle. Each day I walk past it with Ruby (my Bernese mountain dog) and come across all sorts of inspiration. The Elizabethan Garden is beautiful and looks stunning. Not only do it see the Castle everyday, I work their a lot, doing the floral designs for lots of weddings that take place in the Gatehouse.

A busy weekend

ailsa — Tue, 31 May 2011 22:26:02 +0000

Last weekend was a busy wedding weekend with weddings at Wroxall Abbey and Raymond Blanc’s Le Manoir in Oxford. Two very different weddings, one with a purple and cream theme, beautiful English country style and the second, all things white……perfect for Le Manoir! Hannah chose a bouquet of white peonies, stocks, veronica and freesia, so beautifully classic and a bundle of fragrance. Photos to follow shortly, but I hope Liz and Hannah had a fantastic day and enjoyed their blooms.

Delights of Chesea 2011

ailsa — Tue, 31 May 2011 19:28:10 +0000

I couldn’t help but admire this show garden that earnt itself a gold at Chelsea. It had everything that I love about flowers in it……a charming wild and free style that captures the informality of the English garden. From delphiniums to foxgloves, herbs to daisies, it was a true delight.

I hope you like looking at these pictures as much as I do and maybe they will give you some inspiration for your own floral designs!
