Mayors Ceremony

May is the annual time for a new Mayor in Lincoln.

We have been providing the Civic party with flowers for this event for a number of years.

This year one of the ladies involved particularly likes carnations and straight on from the Colombian evening with all their fabulous colours we chose these gorgeous white and purple flecked variety. We are usually asked to use a colour scheme of white and cream, council colours, but this year we could add some colour.

The posies that are presented to the 2 ladies in the Mayors party at The Guildhall.
We used the carnations, white roses, gyp and foliage tied together with a complementary lilac bow.
The table centres are on 'oasis' rings with the white and purple carnations, cordyline foliage, gyp and white sisal. To add a little bit of height to the design green midelino sticks were added in hoops around the edge.

There were 14 table rings and 2 long and low for the top table.
The top table designs had the same flowers in as the rings with some extra foliage.
One of the table rings in situ at The Lincoln County Assembly Rooms. The oil lamp is provided by the venue.

Unfortunately when we arrived to deliver these the tables were just being set up and so this is the only photo we were able to get.

Bishop Grosseteste College

I had a phone call from the function organiser at Lincoln Council to see if we could come up with some arrangements for an afternoon tea do. Something simple that would last as we could only deliver Friday pm for a Sunday pm do.

These are what we delivered, 6 of each.

5 cerise gerberas all supported with rose aluminium wire, to prevent drooping while stored, bear grass, black or white sisal depending on colour of the sugar pot. We also added some iced gems on wires as we thought they looked like little cakes.

They were delivered to Bishop Grosseteste College late Friday afternoon and we received a phone call the next week to say they had all survived and looked fabulous.

Lincoln Security

This is todays arrangement for Lincoln security. It has amaranthus, calla lily 'picasso', carnation 'moondust', astrantia and bear grass with sisal around the mechanics in a glass cube.
