Silk Flowers Forever

Rawlinsons and Kims Flowers has an idea to share with all those who are thinking about tying the knot. They have come up with something that will last as long as the union itself: silk flowers of such high quality that it would be necessary to actually feel them before realizing the artifice (even then, it can be doubtful)!


Silk flowers have been around for many years to represent the natural form as closely as possible. In fact now made of exquisite real-feel fabric, the ‘silk’ flowers from Rawlinsons and Kims are of exceptional quality as well as being infinitely flexible.

They can be given as occasional gifts for celebration or commemoration or tokens of love on Valentine’s Day. Ordering silks is as straightforward as asking for fresh; the costs are equal, the reaction just as good.

A particular advantage to these types of flowers over fresh is their tolerance to heat, cold and packing making them the ideal gift or wedding piece for overseas friends and family.

Anna has been booked already to provide wedding designs such as a bridal bouquet and button-holes entirely in silk flowers; for someone that has suffered for many years with hay fever allergies, it is a blessing in many ways.

So ultimately why silk? The answer is very simple. Presented as a memento of the day, far more tangible and apparent than for instance a dried flower, easily kept and easily cleaned!

Anna Rawlinson owns and manages Rawlinsons and Kims Flowers solely by herself.

The Passionate Shepherd To His Love

Come live with me and be my love,
And we will all the pleasures prove
That valleys, groves, hills, and fields,
Woods, or steepy mountain yields.

And we will sit upon rocks,
Seeing the shepherds feed their flocks,
By shallow rivers to whose falls
Melodious birds sing madrigals.

And I will make thee beds of roses
And a thousand fragrant poises,
A cap of flowers, and a kirtle
Embroidered all with leaves of myrtle;

A gown made of the finest wool
Which from our pretty lambs we pull;
Fair lined slippers for the cold,
With buckles of the purest gold;

A belt of straw and ivy buds,
With coral clasps and amber studs;
And if these pleasures may thee move,
Come live with me, and be my love.

The shepherds's swains shall dance and sing
For thy delight each May morning:
If these delights thy mind may move,
Then live with me and be my love.

Irish Blessing

May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

May God be with you and bless you:
May you see your children's children.
May you be poor in misfortune,
Rich in blessings.
May you know nothing but happiness
From this day forward.

May the road rise up to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the warm rays of sun fall upon your home
And may the hand of a friend always be near.

May green be the grass you walk on,
May blue be the skies above you,
May pure be the joys that surround you,
May true be the hearts that love you.
