French Chic

Antique Union Jack Bunting

We travelled to Normandy on our Easter holidays and took along a few of our recent buntings. Lovely to have some different backgrounds, and they all dressed up the farmhouse beautifully.

Wedding Flowers

Our new Eau-de-nil bunting features in this month's Wedding Flowers magazine, and they have also used our Rose Pink bunting to advertise on another page, so we are getting plenty of publicity this month and the orders are rolling in. Pretty floral fabrics are hard to find at the moment, so we are working hard to source new designs for the Summer, whilst enjoying being a part of so many brides' wedding plans.

Zigzag Bunting on TV

We were asked recently whether Zigzag Bunting has ever been on TV, and the answer is a big 'Yes'! Our TV credits include The Colin & Justin Home Show, DIY SOS http://www.bbc.co.uk/homes/tv_and_radio/diysos_specialtwo.shtml, The Hotel Inspector and a spot on a regional BBC TV guide to camping at music festivals: they recommended using our bunting to make your tent clearly identifiable through the mud and chaos. Should I pack some bunting for my teenage son when he goes off to Reading Festival this summer?

Party Time

Well, our bunting continues to be as popular as ever ! Most recently we have made bunting for a West Country Donkey Farm to help them with fundraising, Bespoke Bunting for an organic Flower Farmer to help advertise her goodies at Farmers' Markets, some more bunting for The Big Chill's birthday party in London, and some aged Union Jack bunting for a wonderful little company renting out characterful camper vans for family holidays. Meanwhile we can't resist sending bunting as presents to family and friends, those birthday parties all need a bit of cotton bunting to add 'green' cheer.

Tatler Photoshoot

Good to see that Tatler knows good bunting when they see it: Zigzag Union Jack bunting made to their specifications graces the pages of the April edition of Tatler in the company of Christian Dior, Vivienne Westwood, Prada et al. We are always happy to help!

Happy 2009 !

Where did that time go? We were busy right up until Christmas with bunting orders and are already sending out orders for Spring Weddings. A lot of our lovely Union Jack bunting has been weaving its way through the post too and we have had some charming feedback from happy customers.

It looks as though Teal is becoming a popular colour for this year, and we have just completed some personalised wedding bunting in teal and ivory. Our plan is to find some more lovely fabrics in this colour as it does look gorgeous for special occasions.

Burnley Bunting for the BBC

We have just dispatched a Bespoke package of bunting in Burnley Football Club colours to the BBC for a recording later this week: watch out for Zigzag bunting on programme six of 'The Speaker' BBC2 in February/March. Remember we can make this bunting in any combination of plain colours for you, SO much nicer to have fabric bunting than tacky plastic.
