Letter Box Forever Flowers

9th April 2020

Now more than ever is a great time to send a little love and a truly welcome surprise of a thoughtful gift that can fit through the letterbox. The Royal Mail service is still delivering at this difficult time and see the delivery of parcels and letters is a way of keeping the country together, businesses operating and helping many people who can’t leave their homes, so thank you Royal Mail for all that you are doing, each and every one of you postal workers. Without you those who don’t have mobile phones, access to the internet, are feeling lonely, are…

What We Need Right Now!

8th April 2020

”I just need a hug, not just a quick hug, but a long tight hug!” Covid-19 occupies our every waking moment, it’s on the lips and ears of everyone. Being separated from loved ones, the loss of freedoms we take for granted, and boredom are all causing us to feel a little low. What I miss most during this lockdown experience are the hugs with the people I care so much about, my family and friends. Not knowing when we will be able to give and get those hugs again has been playing on my mind. So I’ve started writing and…

Our best advice would be, become creative, narrow all your ideas down, keep it simple and tailored, find your look, something that feels fresh and ‘you’, and not just your typical wedding look. It’s more about the atmosphere and vibe rather than a wedding theme….

Valentine’s Cards and Gift Ideas 2020

5th February 2020

We know that some people think Valentine’s Day is a cliche, but I honestly love it. I love the thought of my dad organising the flowers for my mum a week before, popping out to walk the dog and coming home with a beautiful bunch of red roses (as he does without fail every year) to ‘surprise’ her on Valentine’s. I love leaving a card hidden in my husbands work boots as he leaves for work really early in the morning and I adore the card he leaves on the pillow next to me for when I wake up. I love…

Leap Year Proposals

3rd February 2020

Did you know that leap years mean that you girls can propose to your man? Irish folklore is full of wonderful, funny, strange, and sometimes out-dated traditions, but with a leap year of 366 days, we have the most well-known, and some may think the most romantic! According to the old Irish tradition, the leap year is the perfect chance for a woman to take matters into her own hands and get down on one knee. Remember the movie, the Irish love to hate and we love but don’t confess to watching! Of course, it’s OK to propose at any…
