For Everything There Is A Season

I love Autumn – but then I love each season and the changes they bring – in the garden, in the fabrics I work with in my studio, and even in the way I get together with friends.
My Autumn wedding creations for last weekend were sumptuous in both texture and colour.
Champagne coloured duchess satin and heavily beaded lace for the bride. Rich purple velvet with silk chiffon for the bridesmaid and an Italian printed silk satin and slubbed dupion for the Mother of the Bride in mink, wine & cerise tones.
I’ve also had my sister visiting so we booked a few days on the east coast and it was magical. Walks on the beach, red wine in front of an open fire and the most spectacular sunsets and sunrises.

Back home, the wonderful thing about my garden is that despite the carpet of Autumnal coloured leaves there is always a bit of colour to be found somewhere.
Perfect for an afternoon tea setting with a friend on Sunday.
And perfect for a ‘In A Vase On Monday Post’.

‘In A Vase On Monday’ was started by Cathy from Rambling In The Garden who has a beautiful garden in the north-east rural fringe of the West Midlands, England.
And while I’m enjoying Autumn, she’s enjoying Spring!

Sorry for being late in picking up on this post – your last weekend must have been a wonderful experience, not just with your wedding creations but also those lovely days with your sister too. So nice to see a different range of flowers for your ‘vase’ too – it makes the meme even more interesting! Thanks for joining in again
