A peacock inspired wedding

 Sarah and Dan's wedding was a colourful affair based on the gorgeous jewelled tones of the peacock feather. These HAD to be incorporated into all the designs. The flowers being included were largely left to me to get the best blooms available at the time as long as they stayed in the blue/purple/pink palette
Sarah's bouquet was a mix of purple lisianthus, freesia, stocks, alliums, Ocean song roses, Blue delphiniums and pink astilbe with a good amount of peacock eye feathers in. The stems were bound in purple ribbon and pinned with blue pearl headed pins..

 The two adult bridesmaids carried a very similar but smaller bouquet.

 The smaller bridesmaid carried a smaller still bouquet,

 and the flower girl carried a silver heart wand with purple lisianthus flowers, lilac ribbon and bows with the all important peacock eye feathers.

 The groom's buttonhole was a collection of an Ocean song rose, purple freesia and lisianthus and a peacock feather.

 The rest of the bridal party wore a single Ocean song rose buttonhole with feather.

A lovely wrist corsage with an Ocean song rose, freesia, lisianthus, delphiniums and feathers.

Cream and blue wedding

 Back at the beginning of June was Melanie's wedding. Based on cream roses with a hint of blue, we provided a gorgeous hand-tie bouquet of small headed roses and eryngiums (thistles). The stems bound in cream satin ribbon.

 The four bridesmaids each wore a wrist corsage of matching roses and spray roses with pittospurnum foliage.

The small flower girl wore a wrist corsage mounted on a ribbon, of a single rose with spray rose buds.

Calla lilies and Gerberas

 These are the wedding flowers of David and Katie who were married back in July. David has been a customer of ours for some time and so it was a delight to finally meet Katie in person.
Their colour scheme was purple and white and Katie loves gerberas, with David liking the calla lilies and there we had the flowers sorted! The brides bouquet was white gerberas, picasso and schwartzwalder callas with salal foliage. The stems were bound in ribbon matching the bridesmaid dresses.

As a surprise for Katie, David asked us to make a replica of the bouquet in silk as Katie had already said she wanted to lay the fresh bouquet on a family grave and would be disappointed to leave it.

 The adult bridesmaid carried a similar bouquet but with just the white gerberas and picasso callas.

 The two flower girls both carried a crystal bead wand with a picasso calla and ribbon.

 The groom and best man each wore a picasso calla lily buttonhole with bear grass and foliage loops. These then had purple wire wrapped around the stems.

The rest of the grooms-men wore a similar calla lily buttonhole.

 The ladies each wore a calla lily buttonhole with lavender flowers and foliage loops.

We also provided a calla lily wrist corsage with lavender flowers and various foliage.

Thank you to David and Katie for choosing us to create the flowers for your wedding day.

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.

White Wedding Flowers

This is our 3Rd and final wedding from Saturday.

Hannah initially got in touch via e-mail through this blog to enquire about us being involved with her wedding. As she lives away most of the correspondence was done via e-mail and the phone. Pictures and ideas were sent, thought about and eventually we came up with the ideas below.
