Ivory, red and orange wedding flowers

These are Polly and Chris' flowers from their wedding back in November. The bridal bouquets were to be kept neutral with a hint of autumn.

Polly's hand-tied bouquet included ivory roses with dark red hypericum berries with bupleurum and salal leaves. The stems were part bound with ivory satin ribbon.
The two bridesmaids both carried a hand-tied bouquet of ivory roses, bupleurum and salal leaves.
The flower girl carried a miniature version.
The grooms buttonhole matched his brides flowers, being a single ivory rose with a few hypericum berries, bupleurum and salal leaves.
The mums each wore a rose and freesia corsage.
The rest of the bridal party were given a single ivory rose buttonhole to wear.
The table centres were a lovely vibrant mix of seasonal flowers in autumnal colours. They were arranged in a glass cylinder, available to hire, and included orange gerberas, red hypericum berries, carnations, ranunculus, deep red English chrysants, bupleurum and cotinus foliage.
Polly had asked for two of these for the top table, one at either end.

Polly and Chris were kind enough to send the following a week or so after their wedding.

The Coach House, Doddington Hall

Johanna and Rich held their wedding breakfast at the gorgeous Coach House at Doddington Hall. It is a lovely light room which can be opened up into a courtyard garden to give more space.

We continued the lily theme through all the designs. As there were eleven tables including a round top table it was agreed that two styles of displays would break up the room.

The first was a cylinder vase filled with oriental lilies and bear grass. These were in high and low groupings so guests could still talk to each other.

The next was a design Johanna had seen at a function and asked if I could recreate in her flowers. These were in a glass cube with white curcuma, calla lilies, oriental lilies and roses.
In the arrival area we placed a modern pedestal in yellows and creams. Gladioli, roses, carnations, lilies and alstoemeria.
There is a seating area with a couple of coffee tables in here and not to be left out these had their own cube arrangements, in matching flowers.

The door way to the garden was treated to a pair of bay trees adorned with ivory roses.

These are the last three arrangements we have displayed in Argos.

This one was sent on Friday. A design to show our support for the England team, probably less said about that the better.

Lincoln Security

This weeks arrangement for Lincoln Security I chose a glass cylinder filled with gorgeous pink flowers. Heaven roses, cerise pink gerberas and various pink sweet williams are nestled amongst pink cordyline leaves. The cylinder is filled with black sisal to hide the 'oasis'.

A modern alternative to the traditional posy table centre.

Calla lily table centre

A calla lily table display.

A large glass cylinder has crystal blush calla lilies, steel grass and gold aluminium wire entwined through the design. This is then filled with water. Placing the whole design onto a round mirror enhances the design as the light reflects through the water and wire onto the mirror making it sparkle.

The cylinder and mirror are available to hire or buy with plenty more options in store.
