A Touch of Romance at Shropshire Petals

It’s nice to know that even through the busy harvest time our dedicated petal pickers still have time for a touch of romance here and there! Being a wedding confetti company we always have a soft spot for a romantic tale or two.

So you can imagine how happy we were when we received a sweet request from one of our students this week. He asked us to make him a wheat sheaf that he could send to his girlfriend for their anniversary! Of course we were very happy to oblige and Dawn (the wheat sheaf chief) came up with this wonderful creation…

It’s safe to say we were all impressed here in The Petal Shed! Dawn used lavender and fresh herbs (picked from her garden that morning) to decorate the wheat sheaf. The contrasting purple and green colours worked really well and it smelled blooming lovely too!

We're sure she'll love it - good job Dawn!

What's really great about our wheat sheaves is that they keep brilliantly and last for a long time too! This means they're perfect as a keepsake and a great memento from your special day! 

Dawn’s creation just goes to show how versatile our wheat sheaves are. Adding fresh flowers, dried flowers or herbs is just the start when it comes to decorating yours.

If you want to customise your own wheat sheaf then just follow these simple steps.

1. Buy a plain wheat sheaf from us – they start at just £6.50

2. Decide which flowers you want to use (whether they’re from your garden or your local florist)

3. Ideally keep your flowers in water until you’re ready to use them

4. Then simply stick your flowers into the top, pushing the stem into the wheat sheaf until it’s secure

Our wheat sheaves are very adaptable so there’s no need to take them apart. Your flowers will easily fit in between the ears of wheat.

We've had a lot of people contacting us to ask what flowers look best in a wheat sheaf and the answer is…they all do! If you’re having a blue wedding theme then fresh cornflowers will look beautiful - they’re great if you're going for a rustic or countryside themed wedding as well. If you’re looking for something more vintage or traditional then roses, both dried and fresh, look pretty when displayed in a wheat sheaf. 

So as we head towards autumn why not consider including a wheat sheaf or two in your wedding celebrations. They're chic, versatile and as you can see from these pictures, look wonderful when adorned with flowers. We’d love to see all the different ways you decide to decorate your wheat sheaves. So get snapping and send your photos in to enquries@shropshirepetals.co.uk .

Love as always SP xx
