Wedding flowers in Old Buckenham

Breckland Flower and Garden Club

On Thursday 12 July Breckland Flower and Garden Club (BFGC) members flocked to Old Buckenham Village Hall for their monthly meeting. Chairman, Joy Tunmore, introduced Tim Green as the speaker with his demonstration titled “Wedding Belles. It was Tim’s first visit to the Club. He now lives in Downham Market after moving from London to enjoy a slower pace of life. Even so he worked at a remarkable pace while talking about his love, at an early age, of flower arranging and in his early twenties owning his first florists business in London. Tim created six beautiful arrangements using lilies, roses, gerberas, stocks, etc in colours and designs associated with weddings, both vintage and modern. When the raffle was drawn, six members were delighted to be taking one of the arrangements home with them.

The afternoon concluded with refreshments, the chairman’s charity raffle and a chance to make final purchases from the sales table. The competition this month was “Something old, something new, something borrowed and blue!” There were five entries and the winners were Advanced, Pat Barton, and New Hands, Glynis Allin. The table show was “First rose of the summer”. The five beautiful roses displayed were all declared winners.
The next meeting will be on Thursday 9 August with “our own girls” doing a demonstration “Summer time and the living is easy”. Visitors are always welcome for a small charge of £6. For further information please contact Christine Hewson on 01953 45428 or Sally Westrop on 01953 788712.
