Hi,

I contacted you back in June/July with regards to flowers for my sister’s wedding and following your advise ordered and used some beautiful phalenopsis orchids from you. They were gorgeous and so many people commented so thank you for your help with that.Due to the success of these  flowers I have been asked to do some more wedding flowers this time in December. The bride has requested a hand tied bouquet to include rosemary as the foliage, but is not sure what flowers she wants. Her colour scheme is deep purple and cream, I would be really greatfull if you could give me some ideas of what I could use and what flowers are available mid December.

Thank you again in
anticipation.

Regards Sarah

Dear Clare,
I thought you might like to see James and Gemma’s wedding flowers. They were so beautiful and everyone remarked on how lovely they were. My freind who arranged
the flowers wanted me to tell you how fresh and exquisite they were.
Thank you for helping may the wedding day so perfect.
with thanks
Anne  B
