Off the beaten track

I hope you all tuned in on Friday night to watch what happened when Christine Bleakely and her team from ITV visited us at SP over the summer to get some footage for their "Off the beaten track" series.

ITV's visit 

They spent time getting to know the team here and learning all about life at Shropshire Petals. 

Did you know that Shropshire is one of the least populated counties with 85% made up of agricultural land? Which makes it the ideal place to grow our beautiful flowers.

 Where the confetti process begins

I hope you spotted the blue t-shirts the team were wearing during filming, which arrived just before ITV turned up!

Flowers aren't the only thing blossoming at SP, as over the years 25 couples have met while working here. Jess and Jim, and Toni and Florin are two SP couples who tied the knot over the summer.

Our paegen ancestors used to throw leaves, flowers and seeds at the newlyweds for good luck. Throwing confetti is an ongoing tradition that has become a colourful matrimonial must have! 

We loved having Christine Bleakely and her team here at SP. 

Picking out confetti 

Our confetti won Christine over and she even picked out the confetti for her own wedding!

 Love as always SP x x
