Paula wins Silver Gilt Medal at Chelsea Flower Show "florist of the Year 2012"

Congratulations to Paula for her Silver Gilt medal at the very first time of asking! she is a true talent. Next up is Jillian in the senior section of Florist of the Year. This is a very rare occasion when two florists from the same business have qualified. Probably the only time ever that two florists not only from the same company but the same family. It's in the genes. both have the burden of being the only qualifiers from Scotland on their shoulders, but we know how talented they are!

Chelsea Flower Show florist of the year 2012. Update.

18 days to go.
Having trouble with the logistics of getting the flowers we need down to Chelsea in time and in top condition for the competition. I think we will have to cancel our flights and drive down. That will mean arriving in London later than planned. Paula is first to desplay her undoubted talents. She will have to get her preperations done in time for her slot on Monday morning at 6.30am. This will put a bit of pressure on , but she will be able to relax and enjoy the rest of the week having had her pice judged on the Monday. Then it is down to Jillian who sets up her display on the Wednesday evening. Work has already started on the girls designs which are to be Chandelier's to represent the Jubilee.

Having entered the Chelsea Flowers Show "Florist of the Year" for the very first time. It is my great pleasure to announce that Jillian will compete in the senior catagory and Paula in the "Florist of the Future" category. Both girls won their Scottish heats, which means that Something Special Flowers will be the only Scottish florist represented at the finals. This is one of the most prestigious events of the year and preparation now has begun for the trip to London for the finals next month.

Knock Castle Wedding Flowers

Knock Castle in Crieff is a delightful wedding location for a small intimate wedding, where you will be well looked after. Here we have Martini vases filled with Thistles and Cream Roses in the top and the base decorated with thistles and red roses. Those designs were created to meet the specifications of the bride and wedding event organiser Eden Events.





We are happy to work with a theme and on this occasion, each table center had a different brand of Malt Whiskey incorporated into the base of the design.
