Christmas table centre classes by The Flower Lounge

On Thursday 8th December 2011 you're in for a special treat as we'll be presenting Christmas table centre classes at Airy Fairy Cake Boutique just down the road on School lane, Didsbury.

The evening will start at 6.30pm with a cake (it would be rude not to as we're in a cake shop!) and a cup of tea or coffee. I will demonstrate a few christmassy designs to get you in a flowery festive mood and then we'll commence on creating your floral masterpiece! We'll give you full guidance throughout the evening so don't panic if you're a complete beginner!

We provide everything you'll need on the night including refreshments, scissors, a lovely vase for your arrangement and of course your gorgeous flowers.

The evening will cost £40.00 including all materials and you'll get to take your creation home at the end of the night to admire and show off.

To book call the shop on 0161 446 2556 or email sian@didsburyflowerlounge.co.uk

Places are limited so book early to avoid disappointment

Naomi and Stephen's wedding at Eaves Hall Clitheroe. Gorgeous white and green wedding flowers with a twist

A couple of months ago we were very lucky to do the flowers for Naomi and Stephen. They were a lovely couple to work with and had some lovely ideas. Naomi used her graphic designer background to do mood boards of flowers that she liked and photos of ideas that she'd seen.

It was our job to turn their ideas in to reality....we think we did a pretty good job of that.

For Naomi's bouquet we used a mixture of flowers including 'Norma Jean' roses which are gorgeous white roses with the most gorgeous scent. We also used flowering dill, dahlias, eupatorium, hydrangea, brunia, bouvardia and lots of other gorgeous textured flowers.

Stephen wanted a pale lemon rose for sentimental reasons for the buttonholes. We used rosemary on these to compliment the bouquets.

 We have shoe envy with Naomi's sky high nude prada shoes....gorgeous!

Eaves Hall in Clitheroe is set in stunning gardens which Naomi and Stephen took advantage of with lawn games and had lots of fun (hopefully not in those shoes Naomi!!).

The table centres complimented the look of the bouquets with lots of textures, shades of greens and whites and also scent.

Big congratulations to Naomi and Stephen on their gorgeous wedding. We wish them all the best in their future together.

A big thank you to the very lovely Shelly at Toast photography for letting us use her images on our blog

The wedding also featured on Boho Events Blog where we got a very lovely shout out by Naomi....

"Sian at the flower lounge really went out of her way to find the most amazing flowers, they were exactly what we’d asked for… even down to the yellow rose Stephen wore to match his Grandmas"

It was a pleasure to work on such a lovely wedding with a fantastic couple.

The Flower Lounge is 2 years old today. Happy birthday to us....

We can't believe that two whole years have passed since we first opened our doors for business. Over this time we have served the flower loving people and businesses of West Didsbury and beyond. We have supplied fresh flowers and accessories for countless events including weddings, christenings, birthdays... the list is endless!

The last two years have been absolutely fantastic. Since we opened we have supplied and arranged the flowers for over 150 weddings including West Didsbury's own Secret Wedding!  We have featured in a national TV commercial and we are the wedding flower 'Ask the expert...' in Your Manchester Wedding magazine!

We also have loads of exciting things in the pipeline for the next few months so make sure that you watch this space.....



Our vision was to 'create an experience, not just a florist...' and from the feedback we regularly receive regarding the quality of our flowers and service, we think that we've achieved this and more besides.

We are so pleased that we have such a huge number of very happy, returning customers - both individual and corporate and want to say a very big thank you to you all for your continued support in making The Flower Lounge a success.
