This week's treats include pretty lavender coloured Scabiosa bunches and stunning red rose and
eucolyptus hand ties.


Our sensuous Fougere chocolates are delicious and make a lovely accompaniment to a beautiful bouquet of flowers. We have some especially vibrant and provocative red flaming katy in the shop currently too.

Some new editions include our sophisticated white orchids planted in dramatic, voluptous black vases and our large white planters filled with soothing aloe vera plants. We are loving our plush new oriental inspired cushions and throws.
Until next week x

FLOWERS IN FASHION


As official florist for the 2010 Fashion Awards held at the Glasgow Science Centre, we have been knee deep in swathes of gorgeous blue hydrangea and amazing avalanche roses.


It was a lovely event to work on and included beautiful lush vase arrangements filled with white hydrangea and tuberoses for Swarovski.

We created amazing table centres topped with barbies and Lesley, our very own barbie, helped to create huge saltire inspired dome arrangements which guided you into the Fashion Awards, all made using pom pom sized blue hydrangea and big white avalanche roses.

It was a sorching day which was great, especially for the boys to get stuck in and put their muscles to good use laying the turf lined tartan carpet and also for the girls and John to have a cheeky ice cream break.

After a highly successful day setting up the fashion awards there was only one thing left for the team to do..........
Keep watching for more exciting stuff from the team! xxx

WEDDING BELLS AND LIBERTY AT THE LODGE

We were really excited to be setting up a beautiful wedding
at the Lodge, set on the shores of Loch Goilhead. Its one of
our favorite venues boasting amazing arts and crafts features,
a perfect setting for a romantic wedding. It even has a tree
house overlooking the Loch where the bride and groom were
to exchange vows.


The bride was very relaxed from the word go.Each visit in the
shop to see her designs were really fun. Her flower choice of
seasonal sweety pink peonies, lush hydrangeas with parchment
coloured roses looked stunning set in the large airy conservatory.







The brides table arrangements complimented the cake
and cup cakes supplied by Liggy Cakes perfectly with
touches of hydrangeas and lace details blending the look
together seamlessly, alongside roses and peonies
draped over the crisp white chairs. It made for a magical
dining setting.



Continuing the theme through to the arts and crafts
hall with scattered rose petals, lush hydrangea
heads and candles setting the scene for a seductive
evening event. We love the grounds of the Lodge.
Every nook filled with interesting and gorgeous
touches. We loved these simple potted plants.




Back at the shop we are loving the wild country garden look
with big bright marigolds, lush wild grasses and all sorts of
lush green foliage's to choose from.
Keep watching for new and exciting flowers and events at
Ruby Flowers! xxx
