Event tonight in East Horsley, my first Christmas 'do' flowers for this year. Two wonderful black candleabras ordered one with a white, green & silver theme and the other red, green and gold theme. Nothing like sparkly candles and fresh flowers to set the tone for the evening, very stylish house event this is going to be! www.bloomripley.co.uk @bloomripleyflo

Great show at Manor House Hotel today! Hello to those of you reading this that I met there today. For those that missed it, on my stand today I was displaying a 'teardrop' or 'shower' bouquet of white oriental lilies & purple lisianthus, a tall lily vase with oriental lilies, twigs and purple lisinathus, cocktail vase displaying red roses and white oriental lillies on a bed of white chiffon with red rose petals and tea lights on the mirrored tile base, mirrored square vase displaying pink gerberas with pink twigs, 'goldfish' bowl filled with yellow gerberas, twirled grasses and sitting on a circular mirrored tile, two bridesmaids bouquets of off white Avalanche roses with diamontes & purple lisianthus and the other bouquet a cluster of pink gerberas. Hopefully you came to have a chat with me today and picked up a leaflet to qualify for a free bridesmaids bouquet. Looking forward to meeting those that booked appointments to see me about their wedding flowers and looking forward to those who will get in touch soon to discuss their wedding day flowers. :) www.bloomripley.co.uk Clare Goddard 07813 188352
