My basket and i headed once more to the studios of the ever fabulous team at RGBdigital for a Wedding Flowers magazine shoot.
Boxes labelled Matthew Williamson samples, were being readied for photographs too.
Andy was photogrpahing the flowers, and i learnt a valuable lesson in lighting. The arrangement made in a garden at dusk looked warm and rich and deep pinks (top picture) but against a white background and studio lights looked yellow (bottom picture) Next time i am going to campaign for a background of weathered oak.
I also learnt that it takes a whole side of A4 for me to write down the ingredients list of the arrangement. Apologises to the magazine who have to make space for it all. I like texture, a lot of texture.
There was also a butonhole, bound in fabric and a tag that reads "sew in love" attached. Twee.
and a headband, that i had to make on site with the headband from my head, as the original i left in a fridge somewhere. It was a proper Blue Peter moment, from out of the bits in my basket and the loan of some paper scissors, a new one was made.
Also, is anybody having a garden party for the Royal Wedding? I have to talk to a journalist on Friday full of creative ideas about fun things to do. Do you have a tablescape idea. Do you think the word tablescape is a bit up itself? Me too.
Help.

I like the arrangement in pinky orange & yellow.
I'm attending a street party...bit more rough and ready than the garden variety I fear.
I have been informed there will be welly throwing along with a best hat and best waistcoat competition. Not the help you need I know but 'tablescape'....really?
....who are these people?
xx
Well, if we're tablescaping then place cards are up there on your list right?
How about creating weird and wonderful king/earldoms related to in-jokes or names and give everyone a title for the day?
That's my pretentious tablescape input.... I actually love that word! Good luck Miss P. x
Constance Spry is HUGE among the 20somethings in Brooklyn. Maybe the renewed interest in tablescapes?
We know nothing royal wedding wise here in Virginia, but I'm saddened to announce I am not doing the flowers.
I assumed you would be.
xo xo
Street parties are taking over Somerset it would seem.. but we're having a little reception all of our own, with yummy corsages, big hats, champers & cake all day.. x
Ps. we love the shoot flowers.. absolutely divine!
Yay, i have also worked with Andy at RGB, a lot. Ask him about the Marie Claire christmas gift guide, he loved it when i turned up with 1000 boxes full of 'treasure/tat". Please say hello next time you see him.
The Aussies are loving the royal wedding btw, but no street parties here, i think it will be near midnight by the time they actually tie the knot, but hey it's another excuse for a knees up, expats love a knees up....
