Bloom & Wild ‘The Effie’

April 14, 2018

Isn’t it the best feeling; coming home to letterbox flowers? For me, this only used to be a one off event. for those special occasions, like my Birthday. This was until I discovered the Bloom & Wild letterbox flowers revolution.

I’ve always been a total flower lover; doesn’t the house just feel complete when you have fresh flowers in a vase and a candle burning? True home comforts and lovely when welcoming guests. When Bloom & Wild asked if I would work with them on a new #flowerstoyourdoorstep campaign, I was of course thrilled and VERY happy to oblige!

The ‘Effie’ bouquet is JUST WONDERFUL. It showcases the ‘Anna Karina’ rose, special for its vibrant colour, accompanied by phlox and blue ageratum. Altogether 24 stems.

One thing that is so important to remember with letterbox flowers, is when they arrive, they won’t be picture perfect. The general concept is; once received, you trim the stems diagonally and place them in your vase of water along with the specialist plant food provided. Over the course of the next 24 hours the flowers will flourish.

Every stem comes beautifully packed and protected, with a flower guide and message card if bought for a present.

So what’s so great about letterbox flowers? They’re convenient. Like any busy working Mum, time is ALWAYS and issue and doing a run to the florists isn’t always a priority. It makes you feel special? For me very much so, I always plan deliveries for a Friday for myself, almost like a reward for getting though a busy week.

And, Just because I can. I certainly fancied having some Nikki Tibbles designer blooms on my side board!

Thank you Bloom & Wild ‘The Effie’ were a delight, just like every bouquet you have ever sent me (including that beauty that you shipped all the way to France!)

Now to admire my beautiful blooms, drink some bubbles and toast ‘to the weekend’

Enjoy, Emily x

Bloom & Wild ‘Bright Beginnings’ The Wild At Heart Collection’

February 6, 2018

I’m not sure that having a bouquet, delivered through my letterbox, from Bloom & Wild will ever loose its appeal. Especially a bunch of blooms from the iconic Nikki Tibbles ‘Wild At Heart’ range. Well known for her store within the prestigious Liberty of London, as well as commissions by Chanel, Dior and even Kensington Palace, Nikki Tibbles is one of the most celebrated British florists, renowned for beautiful hand tied bouquets.

The packaging for this exquisite range is GORGEOUS, really portraying that high end luxury feel, delicately wrapped in ribbon. Every stem, elegantly placed and the budded stems gently wrapped in protective netting. The care and consideration that goes into every single bouquet, is clear to see. Complete with care instructions and easy to follow care guidelines, your blooms will begin to flourish almost immediately.

New Beginnings bouquet is a real showstopper. Exploding with a burst of colour, a beautiful mix of seasonal stems, including ‘All for Love’ roses, which symbolise gratitude and appreciation and the beautiful wax flower which convey success and happiness. A sure contender for that special person or occasion.

All the hearts for this stunning range…..

Bloom & Wild, you really are my new best friend.

Bloom & Wild, The ‘White Christmas’ Tiny Tree

December 16, 2017

It comes as absolutely no surprise that this total beauty is one of Bloom & Wild’s best seller. I mean, who doesn’t want to grace their instagram feed  with the opulent ‘White Christmas’ tiny tree that we have all swooned after?

If I’m completely honest I was a little unsure whether this tiny tree would, in fact live up to its expectations. I mean £35 is a little pricey in comparison to others on the market, but let me tell you, this masterpiece EXCEEDED my expectations and is definitely quality and value for money.

As with any B&W letterbox delivery, the packaging is completely on point and what you find inside the box is SO beautiful.

The tree measures 40cm, so is perfect for a hearth, mantelpiece, sideboard, children’s room (if you are feeling generous) or a small space. The pot is pop up and made of a woven material which feels premium quality. All of the decorations are included and packaged so well. Each silver and white bauble wrapped and boxed, a star topper, extra moss and fairly lights (that even include batteries, which is a big WIN) As always, included are detailed instructions on how to care for your tiny tree.

What I found so great about this tree is; it can be planted in the garden after christmas and kept for many years, which I really like. More of an investment really.

I loved turning up the Christmas music, pouring a glass of mulled wine and decorating this beauty.

Thank you Bloom & Wild, this tree really did make my day.

Enjoy a cosy evening all,

Bloom & Wild ‘The Esme’

September 10, 2017

Fancy waking up, not only in rustic beautiful France, with a view to die for from your bedroom window, but to also get a little French call from the local DPD delivery driver that you have a special package.

YES, these beauties, sent to ME all the way from England to the Midi-Pyrenees in France, certainly bodes well for a good day, doesn’t it?

Stacked with the most glorious floral selection ‘The Esme’ is the ultimate wildflower bouquet. This lightly scented selection is inspired by meadows of wild flowers. OH YES. Mixing dainty foliage, with alstroemerias, star-shaped astrantia, a total of 19 wonderful stems. What I loved the most about this gorgeous bouquet, is the rustic, just picked from my cottage garden look, it would definitely suit those who have a real love for the countryside.

I was blown away by the packaging, each stem individually netted with a protective bud cover, and a little notecard to, with more information on caring for my new blooms.

Who doesn’t want that special brown box to drop through their letterbox?

Thank you so much Bloom & Wild!

Sunny Side Up

February 25, 2017

Hello! Welcome to my first blog post and the beginning of my exciting blogging journey. This is something I have wanted to do for a while, unsure of how to even begin setting up my own little part of cyber space. Even more unsure of what really counts as the important part of our lives that I feel is worthy of documenting for all to see. To me, family time is EVERYTHING. It’s what we work for, what we strive to have more of and what makes our little family united and emotionally connected. For us, those special moments spent discovering new and exciting places to visit and experiences that will enrich us as a family are paramount to our fulfilment in life. This blog is all about spreading the word, sharing our ideas, our experiences and our loves. About travel, days out, eating out and finding our little havens to escape the everyday grind. We hope to enrich your ideas and ignite the imaginations of others, sharing our journeys and in turn we would love to follow yours.

We hope you enjoy!
