Well, it’s been a week that I will always remember…
Winning the award for Best Wedding Flowers category at the Wedding Blog Awards has been the highlight of my year so far.
And I’m still on a bit of a high! Thank you so much for your continuing stream of congratulations…
Here’s what I’ve been up to…
My week
Monday
It was an office day, apart from in the evening when I went to a new Creative Photography evening class nearby.
And the subject of ‘being different‘ was very much part of our lesson…thinking outside of the box and taking images from different angles.
Tuesday
I woke up with a mixture of excitement and nervousness, knowing that the awards were that evening at The Ritz London.
Here are a couple more pictures from my iPhone, featuring on the left, Ciara Elliott (Editor of Wedding and Wedding Flowers magazines) and our host, Made in Chelsea star Mark-Francis Vandelli.
And here are details of all the winners and more pictures on the Wedding magazine website.
Wednesday
It was a day in the office…and I spent a large part of it replying to all the emails, texts, telephone calls, messages on Flowerona, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
Thursday
On Thursday, I went to the Tallulah Rose Flower School in Bath to train the students on ‘Social Media for Florists’.
I had such a wonderful day and it was lovely to see Rachel, the founder of the school, and meet her students…Rachael, Mary and Clara.
Friday
During the day, I was in the office. Then, in the evening, I went to the Preview Night of ‘Brides the Show’.
It’s a new wedding show which is taking place in conjunction with Brides magazine.
It will be open today and tomorrow at Battersea Park in London. So, if you’re planning your wedding, I highly recommend paying it a visit.
The florists who’ll be exhibiting include Zita Elze, Mary Jane Vaughan, Wild About Flowers, Amanda Austin, By Appointment Only Design and Paula Rooney.
You can find out more details on the Brides the Show website.
