The final chapter of the Red Wellie Boot Saga took place today… and what a saga it’s been! 😂

This has genuinely been one of the most stressful orders of the year. It might look like a simple design from the outside, but my goodness, it tested me at every stage! Still, I do love a challenge, and giving up has never really been my style. 😂

First came the wellies themselves. The original order of 4 disappeared into thin air, so we had to wait for replacements to arrive.

Then, by the time they finally turned up, the specific plants chosen by the customer were proving almost impossible to source in a size small enough to fit the boots. Cue plenty of research and a couple of road trips before I eventually tracked them down. There were moments when I genuinely thought it wasn’t going to happen!

Once we had everything, the next challenge was figuring out how to put it all together. How do you attach little umbrellas to ceramic wellies with no floral foam to secure them? The answer: glue… lots and lots of glue! 😂 With the plants being quite tall, the umbrellas had to sit at just the right angle too.

And finally came today’s challenge… transporting them without disaster striking! Two to a crate, plenty of padding, and driving like Miss Daisy got them safely to their new home.

The best part? A delighted customer at the end of it all, which makes every stressful moment worthwhile. Now I’m just hoping those umbrellas stay exactly where I glued them and don’t decide to take off in the first gust of wind! ☔😂

When all else fails and you need something really specific that the suppliers just can’t provide… it’s time for a road trip! 🚗🌿
The other day I headed up to the Clyde Valley and visited a few of the garden centres in search of one particular item for an order. Some people might see that as a chore, but I absolutely love wandering around surrounded by beautiful plants and flowers!
The only person who finds it stressful is my husband… mainly because his wallet starts twitching every time I walk into a garden centre. His usual battle cry? “We don’t need any more plants!” 😂
Sadly, time wasn’t on my side, so it was a whistle-stop tour of three of the bigger centres before I finally found exactly what I needed. I did manage to grab a little video though, just to share some of the gorgeous displays with you.
If you’ve never visited the garden centres in the Clyde Valley, they’re definitely worth a trip. You could easily spend the whole day exploring them! And at Christmas? They’re absolutely magical – a must-see for grown-ups and little ones alike. ✨🎄

What happens when suppliers don’t have the colour we need?

Well… we paint them of course! 🎨🌸

Florists have all sorts of tricks up our sleeves, and this is definitely one of the fun ones. These specialised floral sprays (completely safe for the flowers, of course!) come in a huge range of colours and shades, including gorgeous metallic finishes.

They’re incredibly handy when something is out of season or when creating bespoke funeral tributes that need large sections of flowers in a very specific colour that simply doesn’t exist naturally.

A little florist magic goes a long way! ✨

P.S. Learn from my mistakes… don’t do it outside on a windy day without gloves. Unless you fancy wearing half the paint yourself! 😂😂

This stunning arrangement was a hard one to part with. 💕

It’s been a while since I created something in this angular style, so when I was given a brief with a little creative freedom, I couldn’t resist. Rather than building upwards, I designed the arrangement to flow gracefully across the copper pot, allowing the orchid to take centre stage.

Surrounded by clematis, veronica, limonium, thistle, germini, peony, carnations and an abundance of mixed foliage, every element was chosen to complement and support the beauty of the orchid. Finished with delicate panicum for added texture and a ribbon for the perfect final touch.

These are the designs I love creating – something a little different, a little unexpected.

This is what Paragon is all about – creating floral designs that are a little different, beautifully unique, and guaranteed to brighten someone’s day, whatever the occasion. ✨🌸

It may be miserable and chucking down with rain, but flowers have a wonderful way of making everything feel a little brighter and a lot more bearable. 🌸☔

Whether it’s a cheerful bunch on the kitchen table or blooms waiting to be turned into something beautiful, a splash of colour can make even the greyest day seem that bit better. Who else thinks flowers are the perfect remedy for rainy weather? 💐✨

Well hello there, little bee! 🐝🌼

While I was admiring these gorgeous sunshine-coloured blooms, this fuzzy little visitor was hard at work helping itself to a floral feast.

It’s always a joy to see the garden buzzing with life and a reminder of just how important these tiny pollinators are. I think it’s safe to say this flower passed the bee’s inspection! 💛

Anyone else find themselves stopping everything to watch a busy bee at work?

My usual Monday morning ramblings…

So nice to see some sunshine after a rather dull weekend! ☀️

There’s lots of organising to be done today, along with prep work for the orders heading out later this week. Of course, the dreaded paperwork is also demanding some attention as always… although I’m still wondering how long I can get away with procrastinating on that one! 😂

Wishing you all a lovely Monday, whatever you’ve got planned. Let’s hope the sunshine sticks around! 🌸

One table was all it took to hopefully make a lasting impression on our new friends at The Scottish Arts and Crafts Fair 💐

What a lovely day it has been, meeting so many new customers, sharing lots of floral joy, and seeing so many people stop by for a chat.

We hope we’ll be back at this fantastic venue in the future. And hopefully our dancing skills didn’t disappoint either! 😂 You’ve got to keep those joints moving when you can!

A huge thank you for having us – we’ve had a wonderful time and loved being part of such a great event. 💐

💐✨
