White and Purple wedding

Time to catch up with what's been happening this year.

Our first wedding of the year back in the second week of January.

The bride wore purple and wanted a mixed country style bouquet of whites and purple/lilac. White Akito roses, lilac freesia and purple eustoma with eucalyptus and tree fern were chosen. The stems were bound with purple ribbon and pinned. (The vase is used for transportation.)
The 4 buttonholes were akito roses with tree fern with an extra couple of freesia flowers for the groom.

Rose and lily wedding Flowers

The wedding flowers of the lovely Sarah and Mark from Saturday.

From the first consult Sarah knew exactly what she wanted for her bouquet. I was given a picture from a magazine to recreate. A gorgeous hand-tie of ivory roses and white lilies with a touch of foliage.

The roses we chose were Avalanche along with the fabulous white oriental lilies creating a wonderful aroma. Parvi eucalyptus spikes added just the right amount of contrast. The stems were bound up in navy satin ribbon.

As the the six bridesmaids all wore navy blue dresses they carried a small hand-tie of avalanche roses again with a few sprigs of eucalyptus, with the stems bound in ivory satin ribbon. To add touch of navy the ribbon was pinned with navy coloured pins.
The flower girl carried three avalanche roses with eucalyptus again with ivory ribbon and blue pins.
All the men in the bridal party had an Avalanche rose buttonhole with eucalyptus foliage.
The two Mums wore a corsage of ivory eustoma and spray roses with eucalyptus and ruscus foliage.

This weeks arrangement for Lincoln Security.

3 Anastasia chrysants, white freesia, pink carnations and wax flowers with Eucalyptus and bear grass, all arranged in a modern style in a matching pink pot.

Skellingthorpe Methodist Chapel

For the wedding of Becky, see below, we were asked to provide flowers for the service being held in Skellingthorpe Methodist Chapel. Becky wanted a pedestal either side of the altar table and then an arrangement to sit on the table, plus arrangements in the windows. They all wanted to be fairly simple with the colour theme important.

The window displays consist of akito roses, eryngium, cyclamen, eucalyptus and delianne displayed in a container that has been covered in navy blue material tied with ivory ribbon. This stood out well on the all white widow ledges of the chapel.

The pedestals had a variety of foliage, white carnations, ivory germini,delianne,white chrysants, eryngium and aconitum. These had more white in so as to balance the dark blue out.

The table display had the same flowers and also included some akito roses to tie in with the bridal flowers.

The window displays also doubled up for table centres for the reception at the White Hart Hotel and the Altar table doubled up for the top table. We provided boxes to the wedding party and some-one was put on flower duty to be in charge of transporting them to the reception.

Cream and (Navy) Blue wedding Flowers

These are the wedding flowers from Becky's wedding last Saturday. The theme was cream and (navy) blue.

The bride wanted a small compact bouquet in keeping with the colour scheme and for her bridesmaids to be of a similar style. She liked the small roses and the blue of the eryngium (Thistle) and eucalyptus.

From this we decided on a compact hand-tie design to include the small akito rose, blue eryngium, white cyclamen and foliage of eucalyptus and pistachio bound together with ivory satin ribbon pinned with dark blue pins for the brides bouquet.

For the adult bridesmaids a similar but smaller bouquet was made but without the cyclamen and for the flower girl a smaller one still.

Buttonholes were also required- single akito roses with eucalyptus leaves for ladies and gentlemen of the bridal party and for the groom a couple of eryngium heads were added so he matched in with the bride.

For a November wedding they had a lovely sunny day and apparently everything went perfectly.
