Beautiful Occasion Flowers - OK Bouquet*

After recently moving in to a new house I had a great urge to buy fresh flowers to display to brighten the place up a bit. When I was sent a gorgeous bouquet from OK Bouquet I knew that they would be the perfect addition to my new home.

OK Bouquet is owned and run by Rosario ‘Ross’ Rospo, who started selling flowers at the Columbia Road Flower Market at the age of 14. He then went on to own 3 successful flower stalls in Bishop’s Stortford, Hertford and Columbia Road, selling both cut flowers and beautiful bouquets. He has been described as creating a “masterly floral panorama worthy of an artist” on his stall, and has a long-standing reputation for selling only the highest quality flowers. Ross noticed a gap in the online market for the type of bouquets he creates – natural, informal looking ‘big’ bouquets, bursting with the freshest, highest quality flowers and at an affordable price and this is how OK Bouquet was born.

I received this massive bunch of flowers called the Premium Coral Pink ‘Miss Piggy’ Long Stem Roses. These beautiful roses are perfect for romantic occasions, anniversaries or simply because they’re beautiful! Coral roses are often associated with desire, passion and romance. I had to split them into several vases as they were so big. When ordering a Bouquet you can add your choice of foliage. Mine came with bright white gypsophila which really complemented the coral colour of the roses. They are absolutely stunning. 

OK Bouquet offers a guaranteed next day delivery throughout the UK but you can order well in advance if you require them on a certain day. Only the freshest flowers are chosen and the bouquets are put together just before displace to ensure they are at their freshest. I received long stem roses which lasted a lot longer than the usual flowers I get from the supermarket. The superb quality really stood out to me and it was nice to have flowers that stayed looking lovely for longer.

Blaze On - Gorgeous Fairy Lights Review*

As some of you may remember, last year on my blog I reviewed some gorgeous Cabbage Rose Fairy Lights from the company Blaze On. When Blaze On contacted me to review another set of their beautiful lights, this time Daisies, I was thrilled at the opportunity.

These Rainbow Daisies can be found on the Blaze On website and also on Amazon priced at £25.90. If rainbow isn’t your colour, the daisy range comes in other colours to suit your home. The simple white daisies are gorgeous and would look really clean cut and crisp against any coloured decor in your home.

Once again Blaze On provided me with an amazing service. My lights were delivered quickly and came securely packaged. The see-through window allows you to closely see the intricate detail that has gone into the production of these lights.

When my fairy lights arrived I was stunned at how beautiful the colours were. I didn’t know which colour I was going to receive but I was very happy with the selection. The colours are so vivid and really eye catching and would be a welcome addition to any room.

These lights can be displayed in a number of ways. I love how they look strung up on a shelf but they also stand out when they are positioned in a nice vase.

I love these lights, and all of the others available at Blaze On. Be sure to check them out on the below links:

The Ideal Birthday Gift with Prestige Flowers*

It's not often I buy flowers because I always find it a lot of hassle to pick some out and then get them home without damaging the delicate petals. I think flowers make the perfect birthday gift for those who either have everything or don't want anything in particular.

I recently received some luxury flowers from Prestige Flowers. This bouquet is the New York bouquet from their new Haute Florist range and prices start at just £40. (It's a complete coincidence that the background to the below photo is New York!)

This is a recently launched range of high quality stems arranged in house by Prestige Flowers highly trained florists. I love how these have been arranged, they are a very impressive bunch.

The quality of the flowers was amazing and they all arrived looking bright and fresh. They continued to look gorgeous for at least 10 days before I noticed any wilting.

The bouquet consisted of peach avalanche roses, cymbidium orchid heads accented with honey germini flowers and solidago. I love the neutral colour selection and imagine anyone else would also love to receive this and it would fit within most decor schemes.

The cymbidium orchid heads came in these little water filled tubes, what a great idea to add something amazing to the bouquet. These were probably the first thing to wilt which was a shame, but they were easy to pick out from the rest of the bouquet.

The flowers arrived well protected in a large cardboard box and looked great on first impression. They also came with a vase which was fantastic and a perfect fit. I read the instructions in the care guide and proceded to trim the stems and place them in water with the plant food solution.

Other available items include smaller bouquets and my favourite offer, the Birthday Bundle. There are plenty of offers available over on the Birthday Flowers section of the website.

You can even add a teddy bear, vase, a balloon, chocolates, wine or cake to your bouquet orders at an added cost to make your gift that bit more special.

Surprising someone with flowers on their birthday is the perfect gift and will always be appreciated by the recipient. It's a lovely gesture to send flowers and with Prestige Flowers it is so easy to do, you can place your order within about 5 minutes and you can even get same day delivery if you order by 3pm. Prestige Flowers can also be delivered on Saturday's which is handy for people who work Monday-Friday.

Visit Prestige Flowers today and let me know what your favourite bouquet is.

You can also find them on Pinterest, Google +, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Day out in Cambridge.

A few months ago now, me and my boyfriend visited Cambridge for a couple of days. I’ve been a few times before for various reasons but never for a day out. We started the day in the centre of Cambridge, and had a nice walk around the town and a picnic by a river. If the weather was nicer we would have perhaps went punting but it was freezing and not many people were on the river. We then visited the Cambridge Botanical Gardens and had a walk around. It was really pretty and I got some lovely photos.

We then stayed over the night, and had a meal in one of the shopping centres at a Bella Italia which was nice. The next day we headed to Shepreth Wildlife Park which was a short drive away. It was a small zoo and they didn’t have loads of animals so we managed to make our way round quite quickly. The weather wasn’t the nicest either so a lot of the animals were tucked away. I would like to visit Cambridge again in the summer months and perhaps take advantage of the more touristy things, so that’s something I hope to do in the future!
