I am doing the decorating for a wedding next week, so i went for a trip to the fruit and flower market at Bristol to sort out what flowers to order for the event. It was a beautiful sunny day and I felt very inspired by the flowers and plants on offer. If you have an event or a big garden project on the go it is a great place to pick up things at wholesale prices. For example the tulips come in wraps of 50 stems for £12 + vat. If you don't live in the area most citys have a wholesale market it is just a case of finding it (the new covent garden market at Vauxhall in London is another good one!)
I remember it well. It brings back wonderful memories of you standing in my kitchen arranging the table decorations for my wedding in your pyjamas !!!!. You're a star. Welly x
ReplyDeleteSimon likes the photos so much he wants to come next week too!
ReplyDeleteKeep meaning to go.... I would love it there! Great photo. And your blog is looking really gorgeous. I don't know how you find the time with all your offspring etc!
ReplyDeleteHi! Visting from Blogging YOur Way. I just love these flowers- dreaming of spring...
ReplyDeleteHi - whereabouts is the Bristol flower market? I'd like to do my own flowers for my wedding in August and I live about 30 miles from Bristol. It would be much easier to get the flowers from there than Covent Garden! Thanks
ReplyDeleteWhen is the flower market open?
ReplyDeleteI m hoping to start my own florist business from home, doing weddings etc. I live in Ross-on-Wye. Was interested in visiting the flower markets in Bristol and finding about other ones in the area. Where in Bristol are you based?
