Rose and germini wedding flowers

Laura's wedding took place in October at Washingborough Hall.

The colour of all the flowers was to be kept neutral, in whites and ivory.

Lauras bridal bouquet was a hand-tied design of white germini and ivory roses with gypsophila and ruscus foliage. Bear grass was added to give some movement and length to the design.

The stems were bound with white satin ribbon.
The two bridesmaids each carried a similar but smaller bouquet.
They both wore a germini in their hair.
The groom, following tradition, wore a double buttonhole of a rose and a germini to match in with his bride.
The mums wore a corsage of roses and a germini.
A single rose buttonhole was given to the best man to wear.

Oriental lily and rose wedding

Katie and Jamie's wedding from May.

The bride wanted to incorporate oriental lilies into her bouquet, but wanted to keep it quite neat. The bouquet I designed had the lilies as the focal flower with white roses used to add length and shape to the design. Baby blue eucalyptus also added shape and interest. The scent of this bouquet was gorgeous.
Katie's four bridesmaids all carried a simple design of 3 lily heads wired together with baby blue eucalyptus. The stems were covered with ivory satin ribbon.
The grooms men all wore buttonholes of a single white rose with baby blue eucalyptus.
The two mums wore corsages of white roses and freesia.

Ivory and white table displays

We were asked to provide 3 table displays in scented ivory and white flowers for a wedding breakfast at the Wig and Mitre on Steep Hill.

I chose white oriental lilies, white dutch roses and freesia for their scent and for filler used white 'stallion' chrysants.

De Vere Belton Woods Hotel

Nicola's wedding reception was held in the Hawthorn Suite at De Vere Belton Woods Hotel. A lovely light room with large windows overlooking the golf course.

The top table is a huge oval table and as such needs a large display to fill the space. Glacier roses, white eustoma, dahlias, alstroemaria, bouvardia, carnations and button chrysants were used with palm and aspidistra leaves and other foliage.
As it is such a large table we decided it could take a wine glass arrangement at either end in matching flowers. These were used as thank you's after the speeches.

Nicola liked the fish bowl arrangements for her guest tables. These had three glacier roses floating on water each having a diamante pin in the centre. Bear grass was swirled around the inside of the bowls.
We placed each bowl on a round mirror enabling the light to be reflected back through the glass.

Rose, Eustoma and bouvardia wedding flowers

Nicola's wedding flowers from last Friday. She had done quite a bit of research into the flowers she wanted for her wedding and as such was quite specific in what was required. I was given pictures of how she wanted the bouquets to look as well as all the buttonholes. Nicola was however open to advice on the flower varieties which would work best.

For the brides bouquet roses and eustoma were requested and bouvardia if possible. We agreed that Glacier rose, fabulous scent, worked well with white eustoma and white bouvardia with soft ruscus foliage.

The bridesmaid, her sister, carried a hand-tie of glacier roses, white eustoma and bouvardia with a collar of hard ruscus foliage.
The stems were bound by material left over from the making of the bides veil.Unfortunately we didn't have time to photograph all the buttonholes and corsages required.
