A
beautiful, sunny January morning to you! Yes, the sun is shining here in the north of Latium and that
always puts me in a good mood. What better way to start the day than
with beautiful photographs?
I came
across these beautiful crystal bouquets while I was looking around on the
internet for ideas and items for Country Weddings Italy to promote. We only like to promote things that we truly believe are beautiful, and which we would recommend to our brides and grooms. I must
admit, though, having lived in Italy for many years, that the trend of crystal bouquets
had not yet registered with me, as I had never seen one here in Italy.
The lovely
ladies behind these creations are a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law team from
Bury in the Northwest of the UK, Sheila and Natalie. The idea for their hugely
successful business came from Natalie’s own wedding, when she decided to make
her own bouquet. The business literally took over like a rocket and they now
have a full diary for 12 months at a time. The bouquets that L.O.V.E bouquets
now make for the business are created in constant close consultation with their
brides, and the brooches, crystals and jewellery incorporated into these works
of art are all sourced by the owners during their regular treasure-hunt outings
in the local area.
Looking at
their Facebook page, I noticed how “in touch” they are with their customers, constantly
talking to each other and even altering bouquets to suit changes in preferences when they are already in the
process of being made.
It is also
possible to purchase bouquets for bridesmaids and flower girls (some lovely
ideas here, including a crystal wand for a little girl), buttonholes for the
groom and other members of the male wedding party, and corsages for the ladies.
