The wedding flowers for Kimberley from 11 June.

A fantastically scented bouquet of oriental lilies and ivory roses with bear grass. Designed in the modern hand-tied style.
There was two bridesmaids who carried a single stem of oriental lily with bear grass trails.
The flower girl carried a silver heart shaped wand with a single white carnation, foliage and white ribbon trails and bow.
Buttonholes were also provided for the wedding party of white carnations and Mother of the bride had a pink eustoma corsage.

Thank you bouquets were also provided for the reception at the local pub.

On the Saturday morning it was lovely to see the bride and groom who were just leaving for their honeymoon and just popped in to thank us for the wonderful flowers.

Ivory rose wedding

Nikki's wedding from Saturday.

This was a church wedding and fortunately for the bride and groom it was being held on the open weekend for churches in their area and as such would be decorated with flowers anyway. So all left for me to arrange was the bridal flowers and buttonholes.
Nikki brought in a picture of a bouquet she wanted me to re-create. We chose the gorgeous Maroussia rose as it is large headed and scented. These together with gyp, tree fern and salal tips create a stunning classic bouquet. The stems are entirely bound together with an aspidistra leaf and thin ivory satin ribbon was then wound around this to add detail and interest to the handle.
Her bridesmaid had a similar design but with less roses to make it smaller.
The groom wore a maroussia rose buttonhole with gyp, salal and tree fern.
The men wore a single maroussia rose buttonhole with tree fern and the ladies had similar but with a sprig of gyp.

Thank you bouquets were provided for the reception speeches.

Argos

Here we have last weeks and this weeks flower display for Argos.

A single ivory anthurium displayed in a bud vase with sisal around the stem to hold it in place. Three loops of bear grass each with an ivory bead add interest to the stem with a pale pink butterfly to finish.

A stem of green cymbidium orchid with 3 aralia leaves around the base are stood in a lime green zinc container. Apple green midelino sticks add body to the design with green sisal and large ivory pins add interest to the base.

Two very different designs with a single stem of flower.

Keep an eye on the jewelry counter at Argos for more displays.
