Terrariums!!!

Ok......so i am definitely the first to admit it, but i have gone totally MAD on terrariums!!!  Terrariums are containers which are designed to hold small plants or animals in controlled environments- of course in my case totally only plants!!!  Terrariums create a 'wee microclimate' and simulates everything from a rainforest to a desert!!  Let me know what you think of mine!!!  I have been busy all week planting up, and the job doesnt come without a few occupational hazzards eg:  CACTUS THORNS!!!  But, its totally worth all the 'jabs' when you see the end results!!  These are a perfect gift, and can be a real talking point, and of course are so super easy to look after!!!!


More awesome photos!!

Wow, what a day its turing out to be!!  Beautiful weather, and more beautiful wedding photos of a gorgeous couple that i am super excited to share with you!!


Kelly and Andrew- 26th March 2011, and to top their year off even more, they have recently welcomed wee Ruby into the world!!  Congratulations Kelly and Andrew!!!

Kelston and Ransom, July 2011- Culzean Castle- Scotland

Stolen again from Kim @ Little Botanica!!!  Shes great with words and makes things sound so nice... if only you could hear her saying it all with her Scottish accent... it would really set the mood!!  Thanks again Kim, you ROCK!)
Kelstan and Ransom had a spectacular wedding day at Culzean castle in Ayrshire.
Having arranged their wedding from across the Atlantic... Kelstan and Ransom did a top job and it was truly a fairytale wedding.

Kelstan's style for her wedding was soft and natural but full of opulent colours. She decided upon deep and hot pink, reds and purples with mixed greenery for her bouquet... and this colour pulled through to her venue decoration.

Kelstan's bouquet was a gorgeous mix of luscious colour and scent... we included peonies and scented garden roses with astrania, amaranthus, molucella, freesia, lisianthus, alstromeria and more!

Next was my cute little corsage i created, complete with paua shell all the way from home!! 


And, i am super stoked that i got a personal mention!!!

We were asked to submit a table centre which used roses.... we absolutely love roses!!
So we went straight to our favourite British grower to get some of our favourite scented roses.
If only you could smell them... they are so delicious!!
We used a circular wooden container (which we have salvaged of course!) filled it with seasonal foliage and gorgeous natural greenery... then added our delightful roses....
Beautiful!( This was Kims post i stole off her blog, shes so fantastic with words that i couldnt replicate her fantasticness!!  Thanks Kimxx)
