Bridal flowers in a vase on Monday

Now I really am cheating for my vase on Monday, but the flowers for my daughter's wedding were so sumptuous and gorgeous that it would be churlish not share them with you.  Anyway, that's my excuse and I am sticking to it!  The newly weds brought home as many arrangements as they could and their house has looked a picture over the past week!

The bride's bouquet of peonies, David Austen roses, lisianthus, wax flower, stock and probably a few other treasures tucked away in there!
The bridesmaids held a single white head of hydrangea
and the two little flower girls' wore headbands of wax flower.
Roses and peonies adorned the wedding cake.
There was a substantial and glorious pedestal arrangement
and a delightful collection of jam jars decorated the tables for the evening celebrations.

    Absolutely glorious, Amanda - the roses and the peonies are the absolute stars of course but those pristine hydrangea heads for the bridesmaids are astonishing too, so white!

    Definitely not cheating but creative thinking. You are simply doing your civic duty sharing them with all of us :) What beautiful flowers Amanda. Hope that the rain held off on the big day. Best wishes to the bride and groom for a long and happy marriage.

Possibly the last post and a sizzlingly hot vase on Monday

The border in our tiny garden is in an in-between phase at the moment and not very colourful, but elsewhere there are pops of high summer colour and I have brought them together in my vase today. The running wave uses Blogger as it's vehicle and they are changing the way a post is created but unfortunately I cannot make the new format work. I can't progress beyond the title! I cannot navigate to the main body of the post to create text. The new template has no prompts for adding photos, weblinks, to format the text, change font etc. It may be my old MacBook that's as fault but I can't do anything about that!! Are any other IAVOM bloggers who use Blogger having the same problems? I have tried, three times, to contact Blogger through their 'Help' prompt and received no feedback or contact whatsoever. This post is using the old 'Legacy' format, which no longer permits any kind of formatting of text, and so after four attempts I have finally manage...

Early morning light

There have been some cracking early morning skies this week.  The sunrise has generated a strong rose gold light which has been picked up not only in the clouds but also through the silver-white grasses around the edge of the golf course. I always marvel at the clouds.  Constantly changing, formations that have never been seen before, never to be seen again.
