White rose wedding flowers

Sarah's wedding flowers from 10th October.

The bridal bouquet was a mass of akito roses with a few spikes of ruscus to break up the colour. Around the edge was a collar of curled aspidistra leaves, and to give a little sparkle, diamante's were added to a few of the roses. The stems were bound with matching satin ribbon.
The 3 bridesmaids carried a small posy of 3 akito roses each with a diamante tied with matching ribbon.
The groom and father of the bride each wore a double flower buttonhole. A white calla lily and white akito rose, with ruscus foliage.
A white corsage of spray roses and freesia.

The wedding flowers of Kelly from October 9th.

Kelly chose a pretty pink calla lily on mass for her bridal bouquet. With a few bear grass loops threaded with beads to catch the light and bound together with matching pink satin ribbon.
Kelly's bridesmaid carried an overarm bouquet with matching pink calla lilies, bear grass and beads.
One of two wine glass displays for either end of the top table. Pink oriental lilies, white roses and freesia.

We also created a long and low display for the middle of the top table and 5 black lily vases with a stem of pink lily in each with bear grass. Unfortunately we were hoping to take photos at The Pride of Lincoln but they hadn't set the tables when we arrived.

Red and white rose wedding

The flowers from Bryony's wedding on 9th October.

Bryony's flower of choice was the rose, her colour scheme was red, white and blue. Having looked through our portfolio she chose this hand-tie design of red freedom and white akito roses with asparagus fern. To add in a touch of blue we bound the stems with baby blue satin ribbon.

For her 4 maids a simple yet effective single red freedom rose was chosen to stand out against their dresses. To add some movement a few strands of bear grass were added and the stems were again bound with blue satin ribbon.

The two flower girls carried a single passion rose with looped strands of bear grass (for safety) again with blue ribboned stems.
The ladies wore an assortment of rose corsages.

This one is a passion rose with red spray roses, ruscus foliage and bear grass.
A white akito rose with white spray roses, ruscus foliage and bear grass.
An akito rose with white and peach spray roses, ruscus foliage and bear grass.
This wedding was to be collected and as such were placed on a presentation box.

Artificial Brides Bouquet

We were asked to create a brides bouquet in artificial flowers for a civil ceremony. Roses were requested with a yellow and white colour theme in a non fussy hand tie design. The stems were bound in pale yellow satin ribbon with a small bow.

Washingborough Hall

The wedding of Maria and Andy was held at Washingborough Hall.

We were asked to use the same colour scheme as the bouquets for the table centres, whites and pinks.

White rose and pink veronica wedding flowers

The flowers from Maria and Andy's wedding on September 30th 2010.

The colour scheme was white and dusky pink and simple non fussy bouquets were specified. Maria carried a hand-tied design of small akito roses and pink veronica with fountain grass through the flowers. A collar of salal leaves gave the design definition. The stems were bound with satin ribbon.
The 4 bridesmaids carried a smaller version of the brides design.
The wedding party, 15 of them, all wore matching buttonholes of a single akito rose, a stem of pink veronica with a sprig of fountain grass finished off with a galax leaf.

Funeral Tributes

These are a selection of funeral tributes we have created over the last few weeks.

An oasis spray in blues and whites. Flowers included white lilies, spray carnations and gyp, blue iris, hydrangea and hyacinths.
One of our favourite tributes. A dolphin requested in blues and white from one of the local pubs. We have been informed they were highly delighted with it and so were we.
A MUM frame, all these 3 were for the same lady, apparently she didn't like pinks and girly colours.
Another MUM frame for a separate funeral. This time in pale pinks and whites.
An open book in purple ribbon edging and matching sprays with two ribbons 'NANNA' and 'GREAT NANNA'.
Red and white carnation football with a red rose spray. The motifs were provided by the customer.
A pint of beer.
An 18" Cushion based in white chrysants with a yellow and orange spray.
An oasis spray in pastel colours including roses, tulips, hyacinths, eremus, amaranthus and dahlias.
An open heart in a loose flower design. Yellow roses, blue hyacinths, pink hydrangeas, chrysants and white tulips amongst various foliage.
Our condolences go to all the friends and families involved.

Pride of Lincoln

Elise's wedding was held entirely at The Pride of Lincoln. This is the set up for the civil ceremony and then changed around for the reception.

We were asked to provide two pedestals for behind the registrars table which would be moved and used either side of the top table.
The colour scheme was red and white and I used red lily, carnations and white carnations, alstroemeria and stallion chrysants.

We also provide a couple of vases of flowers for the cake table.

Red rose and white freesia wedding

Elise's wedding from 25th September.

Thank you to all who recommended us to Elise, I know there was quite a few of you.

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.
