Although we do the weekly flowers at Hard Days Night Hotel, the stunning Beatles Hotel in Liverpool, we had the opportunity of doing a wedding photoshoot for our Brochure. I always imagine my photographs are okay ?! - Don't we all ! Until I got these images back from Tom, Atmosferik Photography chief photographer.

Rachel loved the simplicity of Narcissi, which we had to substitute with Eucharis Lily (as the Narcissi season was finished),  and gypsophilia. Although I'm not a great fan of the Eucharis Lily, or gyp, I have to admit that the finished bouquet and buttonholes convinced me that we were right.

The look of delight on Rachel's face said it all.

 

We also decorated Inglewood Manor using the increasingly popular Birdcages and lining the tables with Ivy, soft ruscus, Gyp and jewelled Butterflies.

 

 On the night of the Election, the Lord Mayor of wirral(organised by his wife, the Lady Mayor) held an end of year Ball to celebrate his year of office and welcome in the new Government. It was held at the prestigious Thornton Hall Hotel near Thornton Hough, Wirral. The Theme for the Charity Fundraiser was Electric Blue and Feathers, and everything from the tableclothes and napkins through to the Flowers was BLUE (The Lord and Lady Mayors favourite colour) or White Feathers. We used Blue Hydrangea and Blue Delphinium (Volke Blau) with Fatsia leaves in tall lily vases standing on mirrored plates decorated with tealights and white feathers, enhanced with Blue LEDs and Blue Water.

 

The World Cup is on again and we start the usual roller-coaster ride of expectation. will England bring home the World Cup ? -

Well, whether they do or they don't, we decided to create a stunning design for you to send to your Partner or your Boss, to make sure you are well thought of, whatever happens to the England Team !

As good as we are, there is always room for improvement, so last week we had the best florist in the country, Neil Whittaker, Chelsea Champion, Interflora Champion and with any luck, soon to be Interflora World CHampion. he is off to Shanghaii next week to compete in the World finals. So before he goes (best of luck Neil), we wanted to get some training in to inspire our staff ready for making our Mothers Day Flowers and our 2010 Wedding Flowers. Speaking of Mothers Day, if you order now or before 10th March  on www.fishlocks.co.uk and quote MD10, you will get free next day delivery worth £5.99. Here are a few photos of Neil in the shop and the items the Fishlocks staff produced.    

It's that time of year again and you will probably see lots of articles in papers and magazines telling you that you don't need to send flowers, but that would be like Easter without the Egg ! It is a thankless task being a Mum. Lots of pain with very little gain, to coin a phrase, but don't you think the person who keeps the household functioning sweetly deserves a full day of thanks for the rest of the year that they have tirelessly worked ! Now if that means putting your hand in your pocket for a stunning bouquet of Mothers Day Flowers, just go for it ! - don't forget "don't be getting anything for me this year" means - If you don't get something for me, you're in trouble !
