Wedding tulips

Thats the thing about tulips . . .yesterday was all sultry glamour . . .today is fresh, crisp and elegant.

This is a bouquet picked up by a bride whose brief was simple, light, fresh.  She came this morning to select her flowers - went off with her girlfriends for a coffee at Tir-na-nOg and came back for the finished article.
Here are a couple of snapshots.

The tulips are spring green - ideal for a bouquet as the stems are sturdy and the flower opens out into a shallow bowlshape.  They are mixed with white honesty and solomon's seal.

Tomorrow I shall begin picking and conditioning flowers for a wedding that is very special to me - all last year the groom bought flowers for his womanfriend from my van. I was so delighted when they got engaged and I was asked to arrange the flowers for them.

Sometimes I just love my job.

Hi Jane, I have been lurking for a short while and I love your bouquets. I read your response to my post on Tracy's blog.

I do understand the problems of May produce in Scotland as I live in the Pacific Northwest of the US. Lots of flowers now but the first fruit I am going to harvest will be red currants. I only meant to look for less traveled fruit, like apples, for example. Here we are getting good citrus from California, not exactly next door but still in the Northern hemisphere.
Anyway, I hope that Tracy won't take offense, as none was meant.

You're truly a lucky person if you have a job you love. Unfortunately, I never had one I loved. I guess I'm better at being a volunteer for Meals On Wheels. And lucky a husband pays the bills! I do envy you though.

Hi Jane, how romantic! Your flowers must have done the trick then! Such a personal service, no wonder you love your job so much. Wish I could get married all over again just to come and choose my bouquet from your lovely garden.

I did have a job that I disliked before this one and it ground me down day by day until I became a very dull, moany, energy sapping person.
Euan cheered when I gave it up.
