A little Tuesday evening inspiration provided by @bonsergentstudio.⁠
⁠
I just love it when the light floods my studio like that. The strong shadows are a bit of a 'mare for drawing, but thankfully I was tip-tapping away on the laptop today anyway. Spring blog content is just around the corner. ⁠

NEW BLOG in my series "Flowers With Friends". ⁠
⁠
Tonight, I'm welcomingflorists Jessica Naish and Victoria Vaught as they embark on launching their Girl Flower Podcast.⁠
Both own established floristry businesses @jessica_rose_flowers and @ivyameliaflorals and are now bringing together their experiences to host inspirational chinwags with their favourite UK florists and growers. I’m hoping for a good green education and lots of giggles along the way too.⁠
⁠
I quickfire interview Jess and Vic about their floral inspirations and home decor hacks, as well as finding out what scares them most about launching the podcast. ⁠
⁠
Follow along at @girlflowerpodcast so you are ready to eavesdrop into their conversations with industry leaders, including @mossandstonefloraldesign @tallulahroseflowerschool and @libertylaneflowers. ⁠There are also shout-outs for @jenn_pinder_flowers and @therealflowerco⁠

Tonight, I guest blog on an exquisite Devon venue's blog, in a feature called "Why Pynes House was the Only Venue Choice for Me". ⁠
⁠
Pynes House was my first and only choice location to shoot my branding images, back in Feb last year. It’s grand, glamorous, with perfect architectural symmetry that is a feast for both the eyes and balance-seeking soul. The décor is unrivalled for those wedding couples and events planners who seek just-a-bit-more than neutral. Sophisticated. Decadent, but not showy. Luxurious, but not bland. ⁠
⁠
For me, as a botanical illustrator with a signature offering – the Wedding Bouquet Illustration Service – I was enchanted by Pynes House’s historic connection to wedding bouquet design. It is believed that the myrtle bush in the rose garden has grown up from a clipping given to Pynes House by Queen Victoria, upon her Royal visit with Prince Albert. Myrtle now commonly features in British Royal wedding bouquets. While our feelings about the Royal Family may currently be a tad turbulent, hopefully we can all agree that celebrating old family traditions is just lovely. ⁠
⁠
Have beautiful weekend, everyone x⁠

The other day, I asked on an Insta Stories poll if you wish you all had up-to-date photo albums and comprehensive journals. The answer was overwhelming that you did, with comments that it's just one of those things that while important, is never urgent. ⁠
⁠
My own efforts are heartfelt and enthusiastic, but if I let it slide, it mounts up, and then what should be a pleasure becomes a chore, I then I can't face it, and then... well then I pour myself a glass of wine and catch up on Silent Witness...⁠and it's big fat game over at that ponit, isn't it?⁠
⁠
So I spoke to three professional documentarians about their advice and services. Inspired by their own travels, the arrival of their firstborn and by beautiful weddings, these three creative business owners know just how it feels to be always up against clock but still want to curate beautiful memories. ⁠
⁠
Written with big thanks to @pippamackenzie @emilyrollingsdesign @keeptake - three gorgeous girls with brilliant business offerings. ⁠
