Red, White and Ivory roses

This is Kelly's wedding from Jocastas on Friday. We were recommended to her by one of our previous brides.

For the brides bouquet Kelly had found a picture on the internet of a bouquet she particularly liked and asked me to recreate, although not entirely of the same flowers the style is the same. She chose crystal blush calla lily, akito, maroussia and freedom roses with no foliage. It is a hand-tie design but slightly different to the domed effect I usually create, so you can see more of individual blooms. The stems were covered in ecru satin ribbon to tie in with the bridesmaid dresses.
The three bridesmaids carried a single stem of the gorgeous maroussia rose with a few strands of bear grass. Stems covered in ecru satin ribbon.
Th flower girl carried a single freedom rose with looped strands of bear grass.
The males of the bridal party all wore a single akito rose buttonhole.
The ladies also wore a single akito rose but with a sprig of gyp.

Branston Hall

The last instalment from Saturday.

Hannah's ceremony and reception were held at Branston Hall. As it was a late pm wedding we arrived at dinner to deliver the bridal flowers and to set the table displays.

Hannah had wanted to keep it simple for the tables so in keeping with her flowers we arranged 3 maroussia roses with bear grass in tall clear vases.

This is the bar area at night, the tables are kept in here while the ceremony takes place next door and then moved while the bridal party has the photographs taken outside.


The Churchill Suite dressed for the wedding ceremony.
The registrars table display. Hannah sent me a photo which she had found and asked if I could recreate it in her flowers. The flowers are Oriental lily, maroussia roses, eustoma, carnations and small button chrysants.
Two bay trees were placed either side of the entrance to the room, placed so when you walk down the corridor you will first notice one then as you turn to walk in you will see the other.

A Classic rose wedding

We had a busy week last week, not least as we had 3 weddings to arrange for Saturday. This was the first to be delivered as it was an 11am wedding.

Katrina's wedding from Saturday.

A classic rose hand-tie in white, ivory and champagne colours. The roses we used were Avalanche, Maroussia (gorgeous scent), Talea and Vendella. Added to these were 'gold' feathers. The stems were wrapped in matching ribbon and pins.
The two bridesmaids had similar style/flowers but on a smaller scale.
The groom wore a traditional double buttonhole of maroussia and talea roses with feathers matching his bride.
The bridal party all wore a single rose buttonhole of maroussia.

Ivory and Royal Blue Wedding

The wedding bouquets from Roxanne's wedding on 19th June.

Roxanne's colour scheme was royal blue and ivory with added sparkle for her bouquet.

A hand tie posy of gorgeous Maroussia roses with royal blue feathers and variegated dracaena leaves. Ivory satin ribbon was bound around the stems and pinned with diamante pins. These were also in a majority of roses and some between the flowers for that all important sparkle.
The bridesmaids (3) all carried 3 Maroussia roses with a few royal blue feathers and curled variegated dracaena.
All the men in the bridal party had a maroussia rose buttonhole with matching foliage.
One of the mums had an aqua rose buttonhole.

All the buttonholes had a royal blue crystal pin apart from the pink which had a matching pink crystal pin.

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.

Red and Ivory Wedding Flowers

Finally photos of Sam's wedding from Saturday.

The bride carried a teardrop bouquet of red roses and white freesia with soft ruscus and asparagus fern. The bridesmaid carried a posy of the same flowers.

The flower girl had a silver wand with a red rose and white freesia spray with ivory ribbon tails.

The ladies of the wedding party had traditional corsages of white roses and freesia with matching foliage to the bride.

The groom wore a buttonhole of a single red rose with freesia and ruscus foliage. The rest of the men wore a single red rose buttonhole.

Each table centre was a clear vase with 3 Maroussia roses and bear grass. The stems are hidden by a leaf wrapped around the stems.

Top Table display

A top table arrangement to go up to Gretna Green with a happy couple for a wedding tomorrow.

The brides colour scheme is chocolate and white. With flower scheme of roses and lilies. With this in mind we used gorgeous Maroussia roses, white oriental lily, white eustoma and germini with a variety of foliage both in green and chocolate.

Buttonholes were also made for the bridal party.

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.

Sam and Jonny's wedding at Branston Hall on 21 August 2009.

The brides bouquet was a simple hand-tie of maroussia roses, alchemilla mollis, sweet william 'green trick' and salal leaves. This was finished off with ivory ribbon around the stems and pinned. The bridesmaids was a smaller version.

For the registrars table we arranged ivory lilies, gerberas, maroussia roses, and spray carnations along with alchemilla mollis, salal, and bupleurum to keep the colour theme of ivory and lime green going.

The tables arrangements at Branston Hall were, per table, a single stem of ivory lily and bear grass in a vase supplied by Sam finished off with apple green sisal to support the stem.

The pictures taken of the reception tables are before Branston Hall had finished setting up and are taken in the bar area as the main part of the Churchill suite was set up for the ceremony.
