Andrew J Musson (Tailors)

Musson tailors were putting on a fashion show as well as being on hand to give advice to perspective brides and grooms. This was to go on their table, it consists of Dahlias, Lysimachia, Ornithogalums, Amaranthus and foliage.

Funeral teddy tribute

A teddy tribute for a Great Grandma. Based in white double chrysants with cream doubles for the paws and ears. A single red rose buttonhole arrangement adds a touch of colour.

Funeral Flowers

A families tribute to a dad and grandad. The DAD frame is based in white double chrysants with a dark green ribbon edge and a yellow santini spray. We were asked if we could incorporate sunflowers (favourite flower) but unfortunately the stems are to big for this type of arrangement and these are the closest flower available.

The train was from the grandchildren as he had a passion for steam trains. It is made up of different variety of chrysants to add to the colouring.

Our condolences go to the family.

Funeral flowers

We were asked by the family what we could design to do with fishing. These are both pre-formed shapes but customised to suit individual tastes. The gentleman who they were for used to fish for fresh water fish, hence the slimline shape and use of colours, and the angler was sitting on a blue stool with green wadders and a barbour type jacket on just like he had.

The oasis spray was arranged with seasonal colours and flowers.

The tied sheaf had Avalanche roses, hard ruscus and palm leaves tied with an organza ivory bow.
Our condolences go to all the family.

Funeral flowers

A 4ft coffin spray in seasonal colours includes bird of paradise, alstromeria, carnations, chrysants, dahlias and lilies.

We were also asked if we could make a question mark, it has a significant meaning to the family but to no-one else. An unusual request but as we say anything can be designed if we are given a starting point and we were extremely pleased with the finished product- so we understand are the family.

Our condolences go to all the family.

White and Mocha wedding flowers

After an extremely busy week it is time to catch up on what has been going on.

Ashleigh's wedding was on Friday and the reception was at Washingborough Hall.

The brides teardrop bouquet consisted of Akito roses, white freesia, soft ruscus and bear grass with noisette verdi roses bringing in the accent colour.
Her 3 bridesmaids had hand-ties of Akito roses and bear grass loops finished of with ivory ribbon round the stems.

The flower girl was given a gold wand to carry, that had an akito rose and gyp cluster with an ivory bow to finish.

We also arranged the buttonholes for the bridal party.

The table arrangements (4) at Washingborough Hall were traditional style posies of white and ivory Alstromeria, Carnations, Astilbe, Freesia, Roses and Delianne with a couple of mocha anastasia chrysants to add some colour.

The hired bay trees were dressed in ivory roses with a mocha ribbon and bow and white and mocha finish round the pots. As it was a sunny afternoon they were stood outside the entrance to greet the happy couple on their arrival.

Birthday Hand-tie

A birthday hand-tie of mixed flowers and colours as requested, delivered to a local address last week. Includes Anastasia, Anthurriums, Bird of Paradise, Lilies, Carnations, Hypericum, Eustoma, Roses, Alstromeria, Gerberas and mixed foliage.

White and blue wedding flowers

Another white and blue teardrop bouquet which was arranged fairly last minute and was booked after seeing the last one that was made up. It consists of Akito roses and Tritelia with soft ruscus foliage. We also made up a white rose buttonhole for the groom.

Special funeral tributes

We were asked if we could re-create a husbands trilby hat for a special tribute from his wife. Unfortunately it hasn't taken a very good photograph as you can't see the shaping, but it looked very 'lifelike'. The flowers were sprayed black and the petals gave a velvety finish to it. The white spray was added as some relief to the black.

The whiskey bottle was sprayed many times with various colours to get the 'whiskey' colour and was given a label that had been enlarged from a real label.

The DAD frame was based in white double chrysanthemum's and had royal blue ribbon around the letters.

Our condolences go to the family

These are a few of the funeral tributes we arranged for a baby's funeral on Monday. The basing is a combination of pink and white double chrysanthemums, with roses, freesia, astilbe, and eustoma in the sprays. Our condolences go to the family.

Lincoln Security

Lincoln Securities arrangement from Monday. It has been awhile since I have done a really girly arrangement for the office and having lots of pink flowers in thought I would give them a change.

There are pink anastasia, pink germini, pink carnations and ruscus with pink tulle entwined through the flowers, all arranged in a matching pink pot.

White and Blue wedding flowers

A teardrop bouquet of akito roses, blue Triteleia and soft ruscus for Kayleigh's wedding from Saturday.

We also had buttonholes and a table arrangement to do but unfortunately didn't have the time to take photographs as it was an early wedding.

Plum and Ivory wedding flowers

These are the bridal flowers for Genevieve's wedding that took place on Saturday.

The brides bouquet was a hand-tie of plum calla lily and Maroussia roses with ruscus around the outer edge and finished off with ivory ribbon around the stems. In the roses we added pearls to complement the wedding dress.

The adult bridesmaid had a hand-tie of Maroussia roses, with diamantes in the centres, and ruscus with ivory ribbon to finish to complement her dress. The younger bridesmaid had a matching bouquet but with only 3 roses.

The bouquets are photographed in the vases of water that we deliver all our bridal hand-ties in to keep them as fresh as possible before the ceremony.

Yellow and white church flowers

These are the church flowers of Charlie and Chris' wedding from last Friday at St Peter and St Paul's church in Lincoln. We also arranged the brides flowers and buttonholes but unfortunately we ran out of time to photograph them. The theme was pale yellow roses and colours of yellow and white. These church flowers had Gladioli, Yellow Anastasia, White lily, Dahlias, Germini, Delianne, Carnations, Solidago and Astilbe with various foliage.

Andrew J Musson (Tailors)

After the holiday weekend we have replaced the arrangement at Andrew J Mussons Taylors.

This had 3 stems of pink Gladioli, 2 willow and a stem of deep red spray rose arranged in a black lily vase.
