We are very lucky to live in the very Heart of Kent. Our county really does live up to it’s status of the Garden of England, filled with glorious countryside, working farms and fields and fields of beautiful blooms. A couple of weeks ago, my Mum, Florence and I headed out to Blooming Green in search of some wildflowers to decorate Florence’s Christening venue with. I’ve always called her my little wildflower. Bright and beautiful and bold and so they seemed perfect for her special day

We were greeted by Beck, one half of the dynamic duo who founded and tirelessly maintain their wildflower meadow, who explained how everything works and handed us a little silver bucket to fill with as many flowers as we could and a pair of Secateurs.

Now before I go any further, I will admit my knowledge of flower names is rather rubbish so please excuse my sole use of colours!

Off we headed into the sea of colour; opting for the brightest flowers we could find.

Not forgetting sunflowers, my favourite wildflower of all. 

When we were finished & had filled not one, but two containers we headed back to the workshop where they were wrapped ready for us to take home. 

I just wish I had remembered to pick up my camera battery!

Once home, we were advised to keep them in a cool & dark environment to ensure they would still be at their best for Sunday’s christening. We separated them out & split them between 20 jars & tins to use as table decorations and I was s happy with them! They really brightened up the room. 

Blooming Green also offer larger containers for wedding flowers along with courses & workshops. I am hoping to attend their Christmas Wreath workshop in December.

I received one container of wild flowers worth £15 for the purpose of this review. All thoughts are my own.

As you know, I try to support local independent brands as often as I can. You’ll often find me at farmers markets picking up local produce, pottering around in little boutique shops searching for the perfect gifts and I’d much prefer to grab lunch at a little family run cafe then a big well known chain. I love all things handmade / home grown and I’m a sucker for family run businesses.

I’ve been following One Seven Studio on Instagram for a while now, and when they got in touch to ask me if I would review one of their personalised alphabet prints I couldn’t say no.  Having read all about the behind the products, I could tell this was a brand with heart and a real family focus.

Available in two sizes (8×10″ or standard A5″), this gorgeous print features all of the letters of the alphabet with ‘F’ – Florence’s first initial –  highlighted and followed by ‘is for Florence’. I really love the personal touch and with every item being made to order , it really is one of a kind.

While it will mainly be displayed in Florence’s nursery, I am going to use it as a decoration on the cake table at her Christening as it will match our chosen theme perfectly – especially when accompanied by Sunflowers!

All of their products are printed onto high quality authentic burlap creating beautifully on trend prints for the home. Almost all of their designs can be personalised which makes them the perfect gift and they really do offer something for every occasion.

This design retails at £11.50 + P&P which I think is very reasonable for a personalised, handmade print of such good quality and I urge you to head over & check out the rest of their range – before you do though, we’ve teamed up to offer you the chance to win your very own customised Alphabet Nursery print.
