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!

      Glad you enjoyed them Kris! Flowers are fleeting but thank goodness they just keep on coming because I couldn't live without them! A

    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.

In a vase on Monday - colour

The intense colours in my vase this week come from nasturtiums, sweetpeas and a single glorious zinnia! Their beauty and love of life speak for themselves and need no further words from me! Enjoy!

A simple vase on Monday

I have just one flower in my vase this week. A simple, pretty, wild narrow-leaved Michaelmas daisy. The vase is actually a black pottery cup. I wish I could remember where we bought it and who made it, but it is a great favourite of mine. I even made it the subject of a piece of artwork several years ago. Clearly shaped by hand, it has the air of a Japanese piece about it.

Found items IAVOM

I am on holiday on the Inner Hebridean island of Colonsay. It is my happy place. Thoughts of Colonsay rattle around in my head each and every day I am not here! I haven't got a vase to share this week but some lovely things I have found over the past few days, which are just as beautiful as a vase of flowers! I hope you agree! Here are some leaves of giant rhododendrons, growing in the outer gardens of Colonsay House. Some skeleton leaves of magnolia. The dried stem of a kelp seaweed. A couple of conkers (can never resist those!), and a branch heavily populated by a number of lichens. The air on Colonsay is so clean that lichens flourish here!
