Christmas wedding

And finally our last wedding of 2011 was Michelle's, who organised it all in about 6 weeks. Keeping it all local by getting married in the village church and the reception in the village pub just after Christmas, meant it was a very relaxed day. The colour scheme was in keeping with the time of year, red and white with foliage and berries. The brides bouquet was red and white roses, hypericum berries and tree fern and salal foliage. The stems were wrapped in a large leaf with thin ivory ribbon criss crossing around it.The bridesmaid carried a similar design with just white roses.
We also provided buttonholes for the wedding party and a top table design for the reception.

Red and White rose wedding

Stacey's wedding flowers from 3rd September.

The colour scheme was red and white and the flowers chosen were roses.

The brides hand-tie consisted of red roses with white spray roses and ruscus foliage. For added sparkle diamanté were added to most of the roses. The stems were bound with white satin ribbon.

The two bridesmaids each carried a hand-tie of white roses with red spray roses that complimented their dresses.

The grooms men each wore a single white rose buttonhole.
The ladies each wore a single white rose surrounded by gyp.

A matching red and white top table display was also provided. This consisted of red roses and spray roses, alstroemeria, white roses and stallion chrysants.

Thank you flowers were also provided.

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.

Ruby Wedding

Red and white was the chosen colour scheme and Elise loved one of our most popular designs. The teardrop bouquet in red passion roses and white freesia with ruscus foliage.
The bridesmaid carried a posy of white roses and freesia as she was wearing a red dress.
The mums wore a double buttonhole of a red rose with a white carnation, we don't usually use this combination but they do work well.

Other members of the bridal party wore single white carnation buttonholes.

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.

We were asked to design a low table arrangement for in the marquee at the Lincolnshire Show for Andrew J Musson Tailors.

Red gerberas and roses surrounded by a cloud of gyp with curled aspidistra leaves displayed in a glass cube.
For the shop display we thought we would try something different. A martini vase with anthuriums in pink, white and green, aspidistra leaves and lime green midelino sticks.

Red and ivory rose wedding

This is the wedding of the lovely Morog who contacted us via the Internet from Guernsey to ask if it was possible to arrange flowers for her wedding at Washingborough Hall Hotel.

She wanted simple but stunning flowers based around red roses.

For the brides bouquet the gorgeous Colombian Freedom red roses matched the colour scheme perfectly. All we were asked to add was diamante pins to the centre of most of the flowers and to bind the stems with ivory satin ribbon and pin with matching red pins.
Her daughter, the bridesmaid, carried a similar style with red, freedom, and ivory, akito, roses. Again with diamante pins and satin ribbon around the stems.
The flower girl carried a silver star wand with a red, freedom, rose with ivory satin bow and trails. The wand handle was also bound in ivory satin ribbon.
The brides mum wore a corsage of a red, freedom, rose and white eustoma with variegated ivy leaves.
All the groomsmen wore a matching freedom rose buttonhole with a single variegated ivy leaf.

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.
