Lily and rose wedding flowers

Claire's wedding flowers from 28 May.
As someone who is involved with the wedding industry Claire had an idea on the look she wanted for her day. Her colour scheme was Claret/wine and cream with a modern feel to the day.
Claire chose a modern shower bouquet with cream Asiatic lilies, claret alstroemeria and bear grass loops. This is a light design, traditionally wired throughout, with no extra foliage.
Claire also asked for a small bouquet that she could use for 'throwing the bouquet' so she could keep hers safe. For this I used 3 lily flower heads and alstroemeria with bear grass loops to keep in with the bridal bouquet design.
The three adult bridesmaids each carried a hand-tie design of matching cream Asiatic lilies with pale pink roses to complement their dresses. The stems were bound with cream satin ribbon.
The smaller bridesmaid carried a similar bouquet to the others.
The groom and his men each wore a buttonhole of a pale pink rose, to match the bridesmaids, with an alstroemeria to match the brides bouquet.
The other guests wore a single pale pink rose buttonhole.
The Mother of the bride had a handbag corsage of a claret calla lily with ivory roses and feathers.

Charlotte House

Natalie's wedding ceremony and reception were both held at Charlotte House.
The civil ceremony was held in The Drawing Room where we were asked to provide a pedestal in creams and whites for behind the registrars table. This would be later moved to The Orangery for the meal.
The flowers were lilies, eustoma, roses, alstroemeria, germinis and stallion chrysants, with various foliage.
As this was an intimate gathering with a single table, a large table centre was required. We designed this in similar flowers to the pedestal.
Our bay trees at the entrance to the Drawing Room.

Argos



This weeks arrangement on Argos jewelery counter.

An 8" clear bowl with clear glass stones in the base. A pretty handtie posy of white Alstroemeria and wax flower with a collar of fatsia leaves. The wax flower has a pretty, light scent that will be noticed but not overpowering. Ideal for a table centre.

Argos

We are really excited about our new venture. We are displaying an arrangement weekly at the jewellery counter in Lincoln Argos. We hope to have a varied assortment of flowers on display over the coming weeks and months. Most will be wedding orientated with ideas for table centres as well as bridal bouquets. All will hopefully be of seasonal content.
The photo above is our offering this week. A lovely silver pot filled with blue hyacinth, yellow alstroemeria and pussy willow. Finished off with a string of teardrop jewels. This is more of a Mothering Sunday display but would also look fabulous on a buffet table.

Glass cube arrangement


Another arrangement in a glass cube. Fresh colours of lime green, orange and yellow were used for a birthday arrangement. Shamrock chrysants, gerberas, alstromeria, carnations and spray carnations combine with apple green midelino sticks for a modern twist to a traditional shaped arrangement. The 'oasis' is covered by a green tie leaf.
These types of arrangements are gaining in popularity as 'something different' to the popular hand-tie.
