The flowers at St. Andrew’s were arranged by myself and various other volunteers from the Parish, some of whom are regular church flower arrangers. Daffodils, pussy willow and forsythia were kindly donated from the gardens of each vounteer for use in the window decorations. White lilies, lisianthus and forsythia were used in the altar and pedestal arrangements.

New Floristry Club / Forum
Keeping enthusiastic and up to date with the latest trends is obviously vitally important when it comes to designing flowers for weddings and special events. Therefore starting a club with a small group of other like minded florists who are passionate about flowers seemed to be a good idea. So that’s what we are going to do! We are planning to meet one evening a week and to use the time to exchange ideas, try out new techniques and of course have a good chat.
