Teapot envy ...

I love vintage bone china - must be genetic, the only way to enjoy a cuppa, according to Nanny Pugh. 

Receiving 13 vintage teapots into pod hq, in which to create table flowers for an English Tea Party themed wedding, caused a great deal of oohs and ahhhs ... some stroking and squeals ... and a little anxiety as one of the teapots was a family heirloom! 

Fortunately though, there were no chipped spouts or leaky pots on pod's watch, just lots of vintagey fleurs in lovely dusky pinks, soft creams, sagey greens and serious levels of teapot envy!

All the teapots were utterly charming and unique, but the curvaceous little pot in the foreground below was my favourite.

The highly resourceful bride's Mum sourced of all of this wedding's fabulous china but should you or I ever need to hire such beautiful table ware, have a look at My Vintage Party, a vintage crockery hire company that has a fabulous collection of everything a vintage party could desire.


Anyone fancy a brew?  Actually 7:35pm is wine o'clock ...

Bring me sunshine ...

I'm coming out of my blog-hibernation with this post, as it's lovely fresh Springiness is perfect for Easter Sunday.
Lemons, limes, whites and greens were the colour palette of Helen and Neil's wedding day flowers.
Jam jars of mini spray chrysanthemums, thlaspi, bupleurum and craspedia mingled with the savoury muffins, cheeses, cupcakes and cookies of the wedding picnic.

The bridesmaid's carried beautifully simple hand tied bouquets of camomile complementing Helen's bouquet, a happy harmony of all her wedding flowers.

Helen created pretty vintage lace hairbands for herself and her bridesmaids (for more of her lovely vintage creations have a look here) and how gorgeous are those sandals adorning the bridal toes!

To a lifetime of love and happiness, Cheers Mr & Mrs C.
