It's gone very wiry branches covered in tiny white flowers. It's about 6ft tall with a lot of bare branches in the centre.

Looks like Baby's Breath spirea, according to my plant recognition app.

Is Spirea out yet?

3rd one for a type of spirea

I am really not very sure on this because I can't see foliage on the pics but I am going to put my neck out and say that it could maybe be a tree heather?

The flowers are the wrong shape for that aren't they? Suggestion retracted.

Yes, I agree it's a spiraea of one variety or other.

Never heard of it being called Bride's bouquet though.

Bride In Winter? But obvs is spring

Thank you all. After googling it does appear to be a tall type of spirea. It's very woody in the middle but the RHS seems to think I can fix it by cutting down 1/4 of the stems to the ground to let in more light. We've only been in our house since October and there are a lot of neglected shrubs each side of the long garden. We want to pull a lot out and make something that's less of a corridor but now it's in flower, I quite like the spirea.

There aren't many leaves but I managed to get a couple of branches with leaves emerging.
