Rose and gerbera wedding

Suzanne's wedding flowers from August. She wanted her flowers to be unfussy but pretty to match the wedding colour theme of pink. We eventually settled on a mix of roses and germini in white and baby pink. Suzanne also requested some sparkle in her bouquet so some diamanté were added to the centre of the roses. The stems were wrapped in matching pink ribbon and held with more diamanté pins.

The three bridesmaids carried a hand-tie posy of germinis in white, baby and cerise pink, with stems bound in white satin ribbon.
All the men wore white germini buttonholes with ruscus foliage.
The two mums wore a white germini wrist corsage on an ivory pearl band.

Emerald green and ivory wedding flowers

These are Hayley's wedding flowers from August.

Hayley's bridesmaid wore long emerald green dresses and so we decided to keep all the flowers ivory with added foliage for the brides bouquet. Hayley loved this hand-tied design of all ivory roses with ruscus leaves between the flowers and folded aspidistra leaves around the outside. Diamante were added to half the roses for added sparkle. The stems were bound with emerald satin ribbon with a silver thin ribbon overlay.
The three adult bridesmaids each carried a simple bouquet of 3 ivory roses with the stems bound the same as the brides.
The groom wore a double rose buttonhole with the rest of the men wearing a single.
The ladies wore an ivory corsage of an ivory rose, rolled rose petals and ivory alstroemeria.

Gretna Green Wedding

I was asked by a friend and customer if I would be able to supply flowers for her son's wedding to be held at Gretna Green. Of course I can but they just have to be careful on the flowers chosen, as they were transporting them up there themselves the day before.

Cath, the bride, came in to discuss her options and we both decided a hand-tie would be the better design, for one thing it could be transported in a vase of water.

As colour scheme was to be red and ivory, Cath decided to carry red passion roses with diamante detail and ivory ribbon part way around the stems.

The two adult bridesmaids each carried a hand-tie posy of ivory calla lilies with ivory ribbon to complement their red dresses.The flower girl carried a small posy of red passion roses to match the bride.The grooms wore a double rose buttonhole.
The Mother of The Groom wore an ivory rose with gyp, bear grass and ruscus foliage.
The Mother of the Bride wore a corsage of red rose and dianthus sweet william.
The top table was a long and low design of white and red roses, carnations, alstroemeria, sweet william, and stallion chrysants.
All the bouquets were placed in a box, in vases of water well secured and packed. The buttonholes all had individual files of water, again securely fastened in a box. The bride and groom were then given instructions on how to look after them overnight and what to do before the ceremony.

We also supplied part of the table displays but these were artificial roses in small glass bowls with glass stones.

We were really pleased when two days after the wedding both the bride and groom came in to thank us for the flowers. They had lasted really well, so good in fact they had brought them home again and were now on display at home.

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.
A guest table fully set up.
