Summer 2008

Hi Everyone,

Yes, this is the Summer Newsletter out in "summer". Having said that, , there hasn't really been much evidence of it as yet. In fact as I'm writing this, I'm freezing.

The Wedding season is well and truly under way. Whoever said Marriage was going out of fashion got it wrong in my humble opinion. I'm turning bookings away because it's physically impossible for me to do anymore.

With the exception of Biddick Art Centre the first Saturday of each month, I'm not sure that I'll be doing anything other than weddings at this rate.

As Brides send me photograph of their wedding day, I will post them on the website (with their permission). It's all very well for me to put photos of the flowers just as they are, but they look better in context along with the wedding dress and other accessories.

Black and white/ivory remains a very popular and elegant colour combination for weddings, but also greens, pinks and lilacs in the pastels and citrus orange and lime, hot pinks and purples in the bold colours. They make for some stunning results. Of course, traditional favorite's such as the red rose remains timeless.

Don't be scared to try what may be regarded as strange colour combinations. You would be surprised how striking orange, cerise, purple and lime green look together. Sometimes the venue can influence your colour choice. Inspiration can be found in the strangest of places!

As usual, I have posted my whereabouts below until October (as far as I know them) without individually listing the first Saturday of the month at the Art Centre. If there are any cancellations or additions, I will make the changes to the list below so please check before setting off to attend any of the venues.

  • September14th Seaburn Marriot Wedding fair. 11 - 4pm
  • September 19 Lumley Castle 12 - 4pm
