hair bands, cake & astrantia love...

A few weeks ago I was very excited to make this glued alice band using beautiful pink spray roses, small white chrysanthemums, wax flower, ivy & senecio.It was very fiddley & messy to construct but I love it! I particularly like the prettiness of the wax flower buds.



I recently made this cake for a friend's birthday - it was inspired by a heart design we made at college. I can't wait to start doing floral cake arrangements at college next semester...


A couple of weeks ago, I went on a trip to London with college to visit some of the most prestigious florists there. It was a really great day & lovely to see all the high end florists & the different materials & arrangements they make. I kept on seeing this lovely flower in many of the shops called 'astrantia' - my new love!
