The mad month of May!

How is it mid June already?!
May was utterly wonderfully hectic! Not only did the summer collection on our website become more popular than I could’ve ever imagined, I managed to whip up flowers for 10 gorgeous weddings!

I have delivered more jugs this month than ever before. The stunning jugs on our webshop have been immensely popular with all ages – being chosen for gifts for both 18th and 80th Birthdays.

May has been weddings galore! With weddings every weekend and weekdays too! We have travelled to the stunning Lantallack Farm in Landrake, to the equally beautiful Boconnoc House near Lostwithiel, and closer to home, we have had weddings at the gorgeous Boringdon Hall and exquisite Langdon Court. Flowers for 10 weddings takes a fair amount of organising, but I have loved every one. Flowers have varied from corals and creams to pinks and vintage purples to crisp white.

This stunning bouquet went to our lovely Bride Rachel, who married Mark at Wembury Church and had their reception at the absolutely breath taking Thorn Gardens.

June is ever so slightly quieter with weddings, but we have not finished for the summer yet, it is simply giving us the chance to meet with lots of lovely new couples who want to talk wedding flowers for the end of this year and for 2016, whilst we are quietly gearing up for 12 more wonderful weddings in July!!

Kerry & Ashley.....

I have been lucky enough to recently receive photos from some of my lovely weddings from 2014, and so I thought I should share them with you!


On Saturday 20th May 2014, I created wedding flowers for a lovely couple, Kerry and Ashley.

Kerry chose a selection of pastel gerbera, hydrangea and roses for her flowers, with buttonholes to compliment for the Groom, Groomsmen and parents.

The couples nine Bridesmaids each wore a beautiful silver dress, and carried bouquets of pastel gerbera and hydrangea to match the beautiful Brides bouquet.

The couple married at Bickleigh Church and their reception followed at St Mellion Hotel, where birdcages and tealights adorned the guest tables and Kerry used her bouquet along with a ‘Mr & Mrs’ sign to decorate the top table.


Kerry and Ashley had the most beautiful theme, and it was lovely to create bouquets using stunning pastel colours that  really complimented each other.  I hope they enjoy their upcoming first anniversary together!

Sunny Spring Weddings!

11002639_547182292089247_7325695709563180701_nIt seems like forever ago I last wrote a blog post! The time really is passing by so quickly in a flash of gorgeous sunshine and beautiful weddings!
I have travelled quite a few miles since my last blog, from the absolutely beautiful Lantallack in Cornwall, to the superb Deer Park Country Hotel in Honiton. The weddings I have created have ranged from bright sugar pink and blue to subtle cream and plum, and Easter weekend saw a classic mix of coral and ivory flowers at Langdon Court, each one as individual and as beautiful as the next.
You can see a selection of the weddings I have created over the last month on my Facebook page, along with all the lovely comments from followers of the page.

The end of March also saw another hugely successful wedding fair at Langdon Court. The weather wasn’t great but lots of lovely newly engaged couples flocked to this beautiful venue at Wembury to find suppliers and ideas for their own wedding day. I have met with several lovely couples that I met on the day, and still have lots more to see!

On a different note, this week sees the last of my evening classes at Pomphlett Church Hall. This group has grown in numbers each time I run it, and this terms group have been absolutely lovely to teach. Some really stunning and individual work has been produced, and you can really see the improvement over the last six weeks.

We take a break now from our evening classes over the summer, but they will return in the autumn as the evenings draw darker again! Watch out for news on dates on my ‘Workshops‘ page.
The seasons are now changing into the summer and we although the spring flowers are still about, it has been lovely this week to use beautiful local stocks and snapdragons! The online shop will be being updated soon so keep your eyes peeled!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!
Wishing you all a very Happy 2015! I still haven’t quite got used to writing 2015 yet but I’m sure I will soon enough!
 
 What an absolutely outstanding year 2014 was! It was far better than I could’ve ever expected. In my first 12 months running Hannah Burnett Florist, I managed just over 30 weddings, 8 workshops, heaps of bouquets, baskets and arrangements, as well as flowers for many other significant occasions for many different people. I would like to thank all who ordered for your custom and also, say a huge thank you for all those who have been kind enough to write, phone or email after they have received my flowers for whatever occasion to say thank you. It truly does mean a great deal that you have taken the time to show your appreciation.

2015 is already shaping up to be a truly spectacular year. I have a huge amount of weddings already booked in for this year, with the first one coming up this weekend at the splendid Langdon Court.
 
I do love a good wedding and I absolutely love meeting all the new Brides and Grooms that this time of year brings. If you would like to discuss your wedding flowers, then please do get in touch. I would be delighted to come and meet with you to discuss your ideas, so that we can work together and get the exact look you want for your wedding.
 
There is plenty coming up in 2015, with a brand new calendar of events being worked on at the moment, more workshops, more wedding fairs and more excitement! I will be sure to keep you updated on upcoming events throughout the coming months.
