Wedding flowers

Friday, February 5th, 2010

When it comes to your big day the cost seems to keep creeping up and up so here is some tips on how to keep the cost down on your flower arrangements but also make sure that they look stunning and eye catching on the day.
Firstly it is very expensive to get a company to arrange your flowers you need to do them yourself. So get all your friends and family round and follows these steps:

Head to a flower market here you will find a huge selection of flowers all at a very reasonable price, you will be spoilt for choice and will be able to find the colours you are looking for.

Keep your bouquet simple i have seen this used at many wedding now and it looks classy and elegant, try a single flower or perhaps even hand-tied.

Choose your flowers with care and look for ones that will maintain fresh without being in water for a long time.

Take advantage of a florist worker as they will give you free advice on flowers and styles.

Caring for your orchid

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

My favourite plant in my house has to be my orchids i now have 3 in total and i have had them for 2 years and they have lasted so long because i treat them correctly.

Here is some tips on how your orchid can blossom for years to come:

Light is the most important factor if you want your orchid to blossom. The best place to place your orchid is on the windowsill and you want to leave to turn bright green if you notice that the leaves are turning a slight yellow colour then move away from the windowsill to a place that is a bit more shaded.

Do not over or under water your orchid my advice is to spray the orchid once a week onto the roots. You do not want the roots to be soggy as this means you have over watered the orchid.

I hope you find this useful and your orchid has a long happy life!

Flowers for Love

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

When a guy wants to show love the most popular flower that gets picked is a bunch of red or pink roses! When i receive a bunch of roses i find them so romantic and defiantly agree that they are the most passionate flowers to buy your loved one.

Another romantic gesture is to buy flowers that carry a special significant for example the flowers that were used for your wedding or the first ever bunch that you bought on your first date, this will make your partners heart melt. Defiantly a good way to get into the good books!

Valentines Day

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

Valentines Day is creeping up by the day so it is time to put your hand in your pocket and treat that special someone in your life.

So for all the men out there who want to woo your lady and make them feel extra special you need to start by buying a bunch of flowers. A lady loves a big bunch of flowers on Valentines day and most florists will put together a special bunch for you with all the colours that your lady loves i would recommend going to Interflora as there flowers are beautiful they will be delivered and they last for around 10 days. If you do not want to spend a lot of money on a bunch of flowers then head to Tescos they have a great range of bouquets ready made for £10.00, if you were to take the price tag off them they could easily look like a £20+ bunch.

So guys do not forget February 14th and make sure you do not leave it to late as flowers do sell out quick especially in the supermarkets!

Topshop – Freedom Jewellery

Monday, February 1st, 2010

I love wearing jewellery especially on a night out and one place i always head to is Topshop Freedom collection. It sells everything from rings and necklaces to glamorous hair clips. I can guarantee that you will find something here that will match your outfit to give you that extra va-va-voom and it is always good to look there for gifts for your girlfriends.

What i also love about Freedom jewellery is that it is very reasonable and does not break the bank balance even though it looks expensive and just because it is cheap don’t think it will break easily. Only 1 ring has ever broke that i bought from there and i have bought loads and to be fair that was from being a little to drunk and dropping it onto the floor about 6 times in one night!

Happy jewellery shopping!!!
