Natural flower arrangements: a wedding in Dublin

A busy day! These flowers are all for one wedding: one hundred and sixty small posies and five large buckets, all from locally grown flowers. A colourful and natural start to married life. After the wet summer, flowers are at last blooming brilliantly. The flowers grown here are mainly from Leitrim Flowers, with supplementary flowers from the garden of our friends Ruaidhri Bashford and Cathy Burke, as well as from our own garden and hedgerows. Anthea arranged the flowers in our garden shop in Monkstown and then brought them on to venues in Dun Laoghaire and Dalkey.
