Lisianthus wedding

Here we have Gemma's wedding flowers from July. Her colour theme was purple and white and she loved lisianthus. Her bouquet was a mix of purple, white with purple edging and white lisianthus. Also included was some fountain grass and a collar of salal leaves. The stems were bound with purple ribbon attached with small pearl headed pins.The three bridesmaids were wearing purple and each carried a similar bouquet but with the white and white with purple edge lisianthus.
The little flower girl carried a silver wand with white and white/purple lisianthus with fountain grass and a salal leaf.
All the men's buttonholes were white/purple lisianthus with asparagus fern.
The ladies wore a white lisianthus corsage with fountain grass, asparagus fern and gyp.
The reception was held at The White Hart (Lincoln). (2nd time for us this weekend) Unfortunately the tables were not ready for us on delivery, so we couldn't get any photos.

The table centres Gemma chose were a small fishbowl with 3 purple edged carnations sitting on glass 'ice' with bear grass swirls. She had decided to make her own centrepieces but on us giving a quote she realised it was better to leave it to us.
We also provided all the flowers for the church ladies so everything matched.

Just so you know:

Lisianthus and Eustoma are the same flower, some call it one, some the other.

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.
