			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here at Sarah’s Flowers are just a little bit excited about our new video clips which have just been launched on our website!  We have been working on some videos that we hope will give you a more detailed look at some of our products.  We are so proud of our products we wish we could bring them to each and every one of you to look at first hand.  Well these cute little video clips are the next best thing.  We really hope you love them as much as we do!</p>
<p>These videos show many more images of each bouquet and allow you to view the product from just about every angle.  We want them to be fun and give you some ideas for your wedding.  With background music to set the scene we are sure you will enjoy them.  A wedding should be one of the happiest days of your life so what not get in the mood now and have a sneaky peek at our clips?</p>
<p>We have three at the moment, the first features the <a href="http://www.sarahsflowers.co.uk/bridal-bouquets/handtied-posies/bridal-bouquet-pink-and-ivory-wedding-posy/prod_6439.html">Bridal Bouquet Pink and Ivory Wedding Posy</a>.  This is a fab video clip with each image linked by a super little floral illustration which we think is really cute. Take a look and see what you think.</p>
<p>The next one is of the <a href="http://www.sarahsflowers.co.uk/corsages/corsages/wrist/designer-green-orchid-cymbidium-wrist-corsage/prod_6419.html">Designer Green Orchid Cymbidium Wrist Corsage</a> with an abundance of different images of the corsage floating serenely to a calm and classical background.  Just beautiful.</p>
<p>The final clip looks at the <a href="http://www.sarahsflowers.co.uk/bridal-bouquets/handtied-posies/vintage-petite-ivory-brides-bouquet/prod_6376.html">Vintage Petite Ivory Brides Bouquet</a> where we have tried to re-create and capture the vintage wedding theme through the images and backgrounds and style of photography. It’s almost like watching an old cine film!</p>
<p>Each clip has its very own style and shows just a few ways in which our flowers can enhance your day.  It also shows how versatile different flowers and designs can be in order to create different themes to suit various tastes.</p>
<p> We hope you enjoyed watching Sarah’s Flowers TV and would very much appreciate your feedback on our new videos. Which one did you like best? Would you like to see more? Your feedback gives us the inspiration to make our site the best it can possibly be, for you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For the eagle eyed among you, you may have noticed that we have had a bit of a change around with the categories and the pictures on the homepage.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Planning a wedding? Here&#8217;s a few hot trends for wedding day accessories, making your special day a trendy one too!</p>
<p><strong>Vase arrangements<br />
</strong>Your table decorations are likely to be the ice breaker when sat down with others that you might not know, and vase arrangements will certainly give your guests something to talk about. Our <a href="http://www.sarahsflowers.co.uk/table-arrangements/vase-arrangements/four-bubble-vase-arrangements/prod_4139.html">bubble vase arrangement</a> is perfect for a spring wedding, with the pretty lilac flowers weaving around the bowl.</p>
<p><strong>Chair Sash bows<br />
</strong>Adding a cover and sash bow to the chairs at your wedding or reception is the fast way to give the whole room a new look, and enhance your colour scheme. You can get them in a wide variety of <a href="http://www.sarahsflowers.co.uk/ribbon/chair-sash-bows/cat_271.html">chair sash</a> colours at Sarah&#8217;s Flowers, priced at £9.50 for five.</p>
<p><strong>Bridesmaid mini wand<br />
</strong>When you&#8217;ve got little ones in the Bridal party, it can be a little tricky organising a bouquet for them that will put up with the energy of a excited child. A floral mini wand is a great way to give them a pretty touch, while making them feel like a little princess.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve got a wide variety of <a href="http://www.sarahsflowers.co.uk/children-39-s-flowers/mini-wands/cat_115.html">mini wands</a> to suit your colour scheme, so come have a look!</p>
<p><strong>Vintage &amp; Pearl touches<br />
</strong>Vintage weddings are all the rage, and a 50s-style wedding isn&#8217;t complete without a touch of pearl. This ivory silk rose <a href="http://www.sarahsflowers.co.uk/bridal-bouquets/handtied-posies/ivory-silk-rose-pearl-bridal-bouquet-in-a-vintage-style/prod_5017.html">bridal bouquet</a> with vintage lace bow and pearl detail would loook stunning on your wedding day. These pearl silver <a href="http://www.sarahsflowers.co.uk/tiara-39-s-pins/hair-twists/six-ivory-pearl-silver-twist-hair-pins/prod_3046.html">hair twists</a> are a pretty little touch for a whimsical hair style</p>
<p><strong>Bubbles<br />
</strong>A lot of wedding venues no longer allow you to use confetti, so <a href="http://www.sarahsflowers.co.uk/accessories/bubbles/cat_168.html">bubbles</a> are a nice alternative (and more fun for the kids.) You can get them in mini Champagne bottles, mini wedding cakes and even mini churches! Have a look at our choice of bubbles.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We have just added a lovely range of foil balloons in three different shapes, heart, star and round which all come in a choose of 16 colours, Green, Ivory, Baby Blue, Silver, Gold, black, Burgundy, Hot Pink,White, Lime Green, Orange, Pastel Pink, Purple, Red, Royal Blue, Lilac.<br />
Traditionally foil balloons are filled with helium gas so the balloon floats but they can also be filled with air by blowing them up though a straw, a normal drinking straw would be fine just so you can get the air past the valve to inflate.<br />
If you are using helium you will need to tie the balloon off with balloon curling ribbon and a balloon weight to stop it floating away altogether, if you have just used air to blow it up then you will just need to tie ribbon around the neck to stop the valve leaking.<br />
The heart and round balloons are a good size at 18 inches and the stars are 20 inches across.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wow its always exciting to see our handmade wedding flowers featured in the bridal and lifestyle magazines but its even more exiting to see your products used on a big TV program like <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/eastenders/2010/09/the-countdown-of-revelations-7.shtml" target="_blank">Eastenders</a>, which is what happened to us on last nights Eastenders.<br />
The production team approached us back in June about having a wedding car arrangement some buttonholes and corsages made for them to use in an upcoming show.</p>
<p>Although the episode was not going to be aired until the 7th September they needed the flowers within the next few days for shooting so we got to work and had their flowers in the post the very next day.</p>
<p>Both the buttonholes and corsage were featured during the whole show but the <a href="http://www.sarahsflowers.co.uk/table-arrangements/car-arrangements/pink-ivory-rose-car-shelf-arrangement/prod_1045.html" target="_blank">car arrangement</a> we supplied only got a fleeting view of the limelight with about 1 second of screen time, the car ribbon and the <a href="http://www.sarahsflowers.co.uk/accessories/confetti/1-x-box-traditional-tissue-paper-wedding-confetti/prod_3176.html" target="_blank">throwing confetti</a> used were both also suppled by us.</p>
<p>The episode aired on BBC1 on Tuesday, September 7th and featured around the wedding of Janine Butcher, (played by Charlie Brooks) to Ryan (played by Neil McDermott).</p>
<p>Both Ryan Malloy (played by Neil McDermott) and Ricky Butcher (played by Sid Owen) wore our <a href="http://www.sarahsflowers.co.uk/buttonholes/roses/ivory-rose-and-fiscus-buttonhole/prod_3860.html" target="_blank">ivory rose and fiscus buttonhole</a> with ivory satin ribbon bow.</p>
<p>Pat Evans (played by Pam St Clement) wore our <a href="http://www.sarahsflowers.co.uk/corsages/pin-on/ivory-rose-pearl-corsage/prod_1996.html">Ivory rose and Pearl corsage.</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is an idea we have had for a while now but the technical problems to get it to work took a while for us to overcome.<br />
Because we are an internet based company and don`t as yet have a shop or showroom to view our wedding flowers, we want to give our customers the best opportunity to view the flowers and accessories that we can, and taking this one step further thought it would be a wonderful idea if people viewing the website could look at an image then using the mouse rotate the picture to look all the way around it.<br />
It takes around 30 minutes to get from taking the first picture to viewing the finished 360° rotation picture on the website and uses a program called Adobe flash to run which most PC&#8217;s will have anyway.<br />
As it is a time consuming project and everything is done in house at Sarah&#8217;s flowers i will try my best to get as many products done as i can but it will be an ongoing project for us as we now have over 3000 products on the website.<br />
We hope you enjoy the new way to view our wedding flowers here at <a href="http://www.sarahsflowers.co.uk" target="_blank">Sarah&#8217;s Flowers Ltd</a><br />
Below are a couple of examples to get you started just click on the link and then select &#8220;Watch the 360°&#8221; link in the product listing.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.sarahsflowers.co.uk/bridal-bouquets/handtied-posies/mocha-ivory-diamante-rose-bouquet/prod_2466.html" target="_blank">Mocha &amp; Ivory Diamante Rose Bouquet</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.sarahsflowers.co.uk/bridal-bouquets/handtied-posies/red-ivory-crystal-wedding-bouquet/prod_1226.html" target="_blank">Red &amp; Ivory Crystal Wedding Bouquet</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.sarahsflowers.co.uk/bridal-bouquets/handtied-posies/long-stemmed-rose-beargrass-bouquet/prod_4108.html" target="_blank">Long Stemmed Rose &amp; Beargrass Bouquet</a></p>
<p>Kind regards Jason</p>
