Scattered Dreams

Ashley Corrigan waves her hands in the air as she enthuses about her favourite confetti petals. As marketing manager for Shropshire Petals she knows more than most about the best way to throw confetti, and the team’s dedication to their job is evident from the petals that eddy around the floor every time someone opens the door. Large tubs line the walls of the packing shed – each with an evocative label: Icing Sugar, Pinch of Plum, Midnight Bloom, Mellow Meadow – where Amanda and Dawn are busy packaging samples to send out to brides-to-be.
