Mandy & Stephen Greenhalgh's Cappucino Coloured Wedding Bouquets & Boutonniere's

The bouquet I created for Mandy was in a “Flower Design” hand tied style with Amnesia and Metalina Roses, Quick Sand and Avalanche Roses, Hypnose and Green Tea Roses, Black Dill, Jasmine, Black Inga Berry. Sedum, Crocosmia, Jasmine, Grevillea, Rosemary, Umbrella Fern, Butter Splash laurel, Dracena, Bruneii, Eucalyptus and Grasses. The bouquet was finished with a tulle handle covered in the brides own fabric taken from the hem of her wedding gown. (In Mandy's trial Bouquet we'd used a pale green shaded Illusion but when the Illusion Roses arrived on Friday morning they were a particularly strong shade of pink so we used Green Tea instead)

The Bridesmaid's carried smaller versions of the bridal bouquet again with handles covered in the same fabric as their bridesmaid's gowns

The Corsages were created using individuall rolled petals taken from Quick Sand & Amnesia Roses.

The Groom's Boutonniere incorporated a Quick Sand Roses, Sprigs of Crocosmia, Grevillea, Steel Berry, Ruscus & Rolled Dracena Leaves, Rosie incorporated a golden Bullion sphere and wrapped the stem with the same.

The Three cake tops graduating in size were designed to compliment the rest of this exquisite wedding.

Mandy has such wonderful taste and is such a beautiful bride we wish her and her Groom an extremely happy life together.

SilverDell's Literary Lunch at Lytham Hall with Rowley's Delicious Food & Flower Design Flowers

Quite simply this is a wonderful way to spend a Thursday afternoon, talking books, eating a delicious lunch surrounded by exquisite vintage blooms in the glorious surroundings of Lytham Hall.

Elaine from my favourite bookshop in the entire world SilverDell in Kirkham arranges these civilised events regularly, yesterday we were entertained by Sophie Hannah & Peter Robinson Best Selling Authors of crime fiction.

We arranged posies of vintage roses including David Austin's newest addition Darcey, these little beauties and the huge vase designs towering over the Gold Room were raffled with the proceeds winging there way to Trinity Hospice as I write.

We had an audience form all corners of The Fylde and the world including this lovely lady from America.

The Glamarous Mrs Jeffrey

Elaine welcomed us all and introduced us to the lovely authors Sophie & Peter

After our scrummy Rowley's Catering chicken breast stuffed with basil & sun dried tomatoes with a creamy peppper corn sauce, the authors signed our hard back versions of their latest books, which incidently I can't wait to get my teeth into.

Elaine's lovely Mum

Sophie Hannah was so entertaining, seriously witty and a great orator, she read from her latest novel now available in paper back "The Other Half Lives", we were all seriously impressed with plans in the pipeline for a TV series based on her novels, how very exciting!

Shannon & I sat next to her at lunch and enjoyed her company enormously.

Peter Robinson author of the superb Inspector Banks novels told us of his inspiration behind his latest book a collection of short stories "The Price of Love" he gave us a brilliant insight into the way he writes, what inspires him and the secret of his "over night success" spanning almost three decades.

There was lots of time for Questions and answers which is always great

We all had a thoroughly wonderful afternoon and we're really looking forward to SilverDell's next Literary extravaganza!

Title: Gifts for Geeks

http://twitter.com/chrispirillo - 'Tis better to give than to receive, so they say. It's true, though. I like to give more than I receive. Aside from the LEGO, these items were sent to review.

When it comes to Christmas, I love stocking stuffers the most! How much fun is it to stuff a bunch of things into a big sock and then give it to someone?! They get a whole bunch of presents all at once this way! I'm going to share some stocking stuffer ideas with all of you. However, I want to hear what YOU think. What do you hope to find stuffed in your stocking this holiday season? http://chris.pirillo.com - http://go.tagjag.com/thinkgeek

Backyard and Private Home Weddings

This season we are getting lots of weddings that are requesting backyard weddings and private home rentals.

These are lovely places to have a wedding but don't think that just because you are saving money on a site fee doesn't mean your budget for getting the home ready for a party of 150 won't be spent somewhere else.
Some of the costs  to consider when thinking about a backyard wedding or renting a private home:
Parking -are all 100 cars going to be able to park or should you look into permits, paid parking, shuttles et.?
Porta-Potties- the last thing you want is a rental home with a bad septic or well or 150 guests walking through your friend's home to use the bathroom
Rentals-Where are all your guests going to sit and eat at? How about what are they going to eat on and drink with?
Neighbors-Are the neighbors going to be good with your band or DJ playing "we are family" at 10pm at night? You may need to invite them or put them up in a hotel for the weekend.
Weather- Make sure you have a back up plan for rain, fog, heat and wind. Tents aren't exactly easy to get the day before a wedding is supposed to take place.
Power and Lighting- making sure you have the resources for your music, the outdoor lights, your photobooth, etc. If need be can you rent a generator?


As a Concierge for many of our local private homes here in the Santa Cruz area, I have to tell you if your planning a wedding at a private rental home, you need to keep the owner or the property manager in the loop.
I actually had a woman hire me to help her find the perfect beach house for her Son's wedding. She didn't want to tell anyone it was a wedding though (she was one of those people who believes that things get more expensive when you say "wedding"). Long story short; as a business owner I will not lie to other business owners and the woman and I parted ways. Do not and I repeat, do not try to pull off a wedding reception at a private rental home thinking that no one will notice. They will and most likely you will lose all of your deposit and possibly be asked to leave the property on the spot. That is not what you want to happen on your wedding day.

Having a great day-of coordinator who knows how to work with private homes is so important. Just some of the things a day-of coordinator or an event concierge will do to help you have a perfect backyard party or run your private rental home reception:

Check in your vendors (and your gonna need vendors)
Look into parking options and permits
Work on your layout to help make the flow of your reception go smoothly
Guide your guests
Be your liaison between the property owner/manager and you
Negotiate your rental contract
Make sure your guest comfort is constant
Be on-site to make sure the porta-potties stay clean
Run your reception
Assure the owner/property manager that there is someone representing both parties so that the property is being treated with the respect
Help plan weekend group trips, tours, etc...

Using a knowledgeable local planner or event concierge is a great way to make your backyard wedding or private rental home reception go off without a hitch and help you cover all of your bases!
