Rachel Lamb Bridal Design

Some lovely peonies delivered yesterday from a recent happy bride. So unexpected, and they smell divine! I'll post some pictures of the dress as soon as I can. :-)

Purple in the garden and in the work studio this week. I've just finished the purple dress and will be able to show more images after the wedding. Really enjoying the sunshine and flowers, and the buzz of bees at last. I'm particularly pleased that the Aquilegias - Black Barlow (middle pic) have flowered well this year. I love dark purple blooms. :-)

Well, I thought I'd drop by to let you know I am still here! It's almost February! Amazing where the month has gone. I noticed this morning as I was out, that the day was 'bright dull', rather than 'dingy dull', which for me, is a step in the right direction towards Spring. This year I have hit the ground running workwise so along with family stuff going on as well, I have been very busy and therefore neglectful of my postings. Usually things are quiet in January and build up as the months pass, but this year seems to be different, which is great, but means less time at the computer. What I've decided to do when times are busy is to post simply - perhaps 1 picture and a short comment, just to keep things ticking over. This is what I'd intended to do today, but I seem unable to say just one thing, as my husband and family will testify! Anyway, these flowers are part of a project 'on hold' that I'll come back to some time later in the year...

Alongside other independent traders, tomorrow I shall be showing some of my gowns at The Secret Garden Wedding Open Day at Burwash Manor in Barton just outside Cambridge. We shall all be in the marquee, no doubt praying for a beautiful spring day! I realise it's a bit early for tulips, but they will be around soon and convey the feeling of spring that I hope will be around tomorrow at Burwash!
