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.

Baby Boy, Baby Girl

A pink arrangement for a baby girl.A subtly scented arrangement in pinks and whites. Consists of pink anastasia chrysants, gerberas, lilies and carnations with white freesia, roses and calla lily. Pink butterflies and feathers finish off the effect.

A blue arrangement for a baby boy.

I was asked to create a 'girly' arrangement for a lady who had had a baby boy.
We chose the traditional blues and whites of anastasia chrysants, lilies, roses, gyp, agapanthus, iris, scilla and september. With lots of pale blue feathers and butterflies.

Both arrangements were designed using our glass cubes.

Pride of Lincoln


The Pride of Lincoln was the setting for Lyndsey's wedding reception.
Unfortunately the tables were not quite ready when we arrived but it gives an idea of the set up.
A long and low type arrangement was the top table arrangement. Again the theme being pink gerberas. Wax flower, broom and bear grass added movement to a base of mixed foliage.
The guest tables were small clear bowls with clear sones in the base. 3 germini swirled inside along with bear grass strands and a butterfly was attached at the top.








St Peter at Gowts Church






St Peter-at-Gowts Church.

A wonderful church to decorate with plenty of room to display pedestals. Only drawback is they have to be large otherwise you won't see them at the altar from the back.

They consisted mainly of pink gerberas, with pink broom, carnations and misumata branches.

We displayed one pedestal in the porchway for impact when guests arrived and one at the front of the church on the grooms side.
As the budget was getting tight it was agreed that the two front and two back pews had a simple arrangement of 3 pink gerberas and wax flower and the rest had bows alternating down the aisle.
A debate had gone on as to whether we and the bride would be allowed to have flowers in church as it was still in Lent, but the Vicar on this occassion agreed as long as they were moved immediately afterwards. All arrangements were moved down to The Pride of Lincoln for the reception.





















Pink Gerbera wedding




A wedding theme centred on pink gerberas was the vision Lyndsey wanted to create. As gerberas are such fabulous flowers this was an idea easy to work with.
The brides bouquet, top photo, was a hand-tie posy of pink gerberas with a collar of aspidistra leaves. On these we attached some gold butterflies, another theme of the wedding. Bear grass trails added interest and length to the design and it was finished off with pink satin ribbon.
The Maid of honor carried an overarm bouquet of pink gerberas, bottom photo, backed with an aspidistra leaf. Butterflies were added to the flowers and satin ribbon was pinned to the stems to make the handle.
3 adult bridesmaids carried smaller versions of this, 3rd photo.

The flower girls carried a wand of 3 pink germinis with bear grass loops, 2nd photo, finished off with pink satin ribbon.








This wedding took place at the end of March. Church and venue photos to follow.
