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.
Guest table display.
The reception was held at The Dovecote, near Swinderby.
This is the marquee set up and ready for the arrival of the bride and groom.
Polly and Chris were kind enough to send the following a week or so after their wedding.

Colourful gerbera wedding

When Katerina first came to see me she knew exactly what flowers she wanted. She brought a picture of a gerbera bouquet in mixed colours and asked if I could reproduce it. Included are yellow, burgundy, red, pink and orange gerberas with palm leaves as a collar.
It was to be a colourful wedding with orange as the main colour.
The two flower girls each had a wrist corsage of an orange germini with rolled orange rose petals and ruscus and bear grass. The smaller one was attached to an ivory organza ribbon as the bracelets are just too large for little wrists.
The older flower girls corsage was attached to an ivory pearl bracelet.
They each carried a small basket decorated with burgundy satin ribbon and bows, filled with rose petals in red, orange and yellow. The petals are placed in a bag for ease of delivery.
Three ladies buttonholes of a burgundy germini with ruscus leaves and bear grass loops.
All the men in the bridal party wore a gorgeous orange germini buttonhole.

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.

Pink and White Wedding Flowers




These are Teresa's wedding flowers from Sunday.
The simple registrars table display in matching pinks and whites of the wedding theme. As the civil ceremony and reception were both held at Washingborough Hall this was then transfered to the top table for the wedding breakfast.



The flower girl carried 2 roses, 1 white 1 pink, with pale pink feathers tied together with a pale pink satin bow.

Teresas's bridal bouquet consisted of Akito roses and Blushing Akito roses with pale pink feathers.
It is a simple yet stunning hand-tied posy bound together with white satin ribbon and pins.

The groom had a buttonhole with one of each of the roses from his brides bouquet with varigated foliage.

The rest of the bridal party had a single white rose.

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.
