Ivory rose wedding

Nikki's wedding from Saturday.
This was a church wedding and fortunately for the bride and groom it was being held on the open weekend for churches in their area and as such would be decorated with flowers anyway. So all left for me to arrange was the bridal flowers and buttonholes.
Nikki brought in a picture of a bouquet she wanted me to re-create. We chose the gorgeous Maroussia rose as it is large headed and scented. These together with gyp, tree fern and salal tips create a stunning classic bouquet. The stems are entirely bound together with an aspidistra leaf and thin ivory satin ribbon was then wound around this to add detail and interest to the handle.
Her bridesmaid had a similar design but with less roses to make it smaller.
The groom wore a maroussia rose buttonhole with gyp, salal and tree fern.
The men wore a single maroussia rose buttonhole with tree fern and the ladies had similar but with a sprig of gyp.

Thank you bouquets were provided for the reception speeches.

A Classic White Wedding

A classic white wedding theme was chosen by Louise for her wedding on Saturday.
After much thought a traditional tear-drop design was chosen for the bridal bouquet with white avalanche roses, white crystal blush calla lily and ivory Asiatic lily. Soft ruscus and tree fern provided a dark green background for the flowers.The butterflies were provided by the bride to be included in her bouquet as they were being used throughout the wedding.
The Maid of Honour had a hand-tie posy of 3 avalanche roses and 3 heads of ivory oriental lily with a few sprigs of tree fern. All bound together with ivory satin ribbon finished off with a small bow.
The two other bridesmaids carried a simple posy of 3 avalanche roses with sprigs of tree fern. Finished off as above.
The two Mothers had a very simple yet elegant spray of freesia with silver ting ting and a silver bow to complement their outfits.
The groom wore a single white crystal blush calla lily with ruscus and tree fern to match the bridal bouquet.
The rest of the men from the bridal party wore a single avalanche rose buttonhole with tree fern.

White Wedding Flowers


The second wedding from yesterday, Friday.

A beautiful teardrop bouquet in white freesia and small white roses. Pistachio foliage is added and as it's dark green it brings out the whiteness of the flowers.

The single bridesmaid had a hand-tie posy of the same flowers bound together with a white satin ribbon.

Buttonholes were also delivered along with ribbons and bows to decorate the bridal car.

Pink and White Wedding Flowers


One of two weddings we arranged flowers for yesterday.

A bridal hand-tie of pink (2 shades) and white roses in a tight posy style bound together with black satin ribbon pinned with pearl headed pins with a small black bow.
A very simple yet stunning bouquet with lovely large headed roses.
The buttonholes, (top 3 male, bottom 3 female) were white roses matching those in the bridal bouquet with variegated foliage and a sprig of gyp added for the ladies. More buttonholes were provided as were flowers for the cake and table centres which the bride was making herself.

The Mother of the Bride came in on Saturday and thanked us for the gorgeous flowers for her daughters wedding. We hope they all had a wonderful day.

Red and White Wedding flowers


Denise's red and white wedding from 10th April.
All males in the wedding party were provided a red rose buttonhole to compliment the colour scheme.
The ladies corsages also matched the bridal bouquet. Each had a single red rose with a couple of white freesia and foliage.
The flower girls carried a small hand-tie posy of red roses and white freesia finished off with an ivory satin ribbon around the stems.



Here is the brides teardrop bouquet. Red passion roses with white freesia and soft ruscus for foliage. This is a very popular design being fairly compact but traditional in shape. The flower combination also works extremely well with the freesias being scented and many Mother of the Brides having had them when they walked down the aisle.


The complimentary bridesmaids posy. Again keeping the theme going this is a popular design to go with the teardrop bouquet.



We also sent out some thank you hand-ties for the mums.
