Proud to support team GB

The Rio 2016 Olympics are in full swing and everyone's taking about it! Here at Shropshire Petals we'd like to wish our Team GB the best of luck and hope all their hard work pays off.

This time four years ago we were celebrating the London 2012 games and supporting the Team GB with our wheat!

Jane Packer, one of the world's most influential florists, was selected to design and produce the 'Victory Bouquet' which was presented to the medal winners during the Victory Ceremonies London 2012. The bouquet was designed to reflect the energy and vibrancy of the London 2012 Games. SP were over the moon when we were asked to contribute our homegrown wheat to the bouquet.

Bouquet designer Susan Lapworth, Jane Packer's creative director used British grown flowers and herbs to create the unique, beautiful Victory bouquet.

The bouquet was sectioned into brightly coloured quadrants to mirror the 2012 logo. The sections were separated by British grown food ingredients; English Lavender, Rosemary, Apple Mint and Wheat, which provided the bouquet with a beautiful fragrance.

Here at Shropshire Petals we grow and produce Wheat, Natural Petal Confetti and other Dried Flowers. Our wheat is used to produce stunning wheat sheaves, perfect for decorating the home, wedding and event venues. Here's a few snaps of our wheat growing on our Shropshire farm.

Wheat is a great natural product that can be used for decoration, especially when adding other natural, dried flowers such as Lavender, Roses and Thistles. These will add a splash of natural colour and an extra special touch to a wheat sheaf, bundle or buttonhole. Visit us online to see our entire wheat sheaf range

Love as always xx
