Ivory and pale pink roses

Mary's wedding from 14th May.

Mary decided to carry a hand-tie design of roses, gyp and foliage. We used ivory and very pale pink roses to add some warmth. The tree fern and gyp softened the design with salal leaves forming a collar. The stems are covered in foliage and finished off with a thin satin ribbon wound decoratively around.
The five bridesmaids all carried a similar but smaller design to compliment their brown dresses and silver accessories.
The Mother of the bride wore a corsage of ivory roses, spray roses, gyp and tree fern.
The grooms-men all wore a single ivory rose buttonhole.

Pink Gerbera wedding

A wedding theme centred on pink gerberas was the vision Lyndsey wanted to create. As gerberas are such fabulous flowers this was an idea easy to work with.
The brides bouquet, top photo, was a hand-tie posy of pink gerberas with a collar of aspidistra leaves. On these we attached some gold butterflies, another theme of the wedding. Bear grass trails added interest and length to the design and it was finished off with pink satin ribbon.
The Maid of honor carried an overarm bouquet of pink gerberas, bottom photo, backed with an aspidistra leaf. Butterflies were added to the flowers and satin ribbon was pinned to the stems to make the handle.
3 adult bridesmaids carried smaller versions of this, 3rd photo.

The flower girls carried a wand of 3 pink germinis with bear grass loops, 2nd photo, finished off with pink satin ribbon.

This wedding took place at the end of March. Church and venue photos to follow.

Anastasia white chrysants are displayed in aline with yellow carnations in the base and fatsia leaves adding width . Baby blue eucalyptus and solidago complete the arrangement.

A mirrored cube full of gorgeous white carnations with a pink edge. Fluffy pale pink feathers soften the harshness of the cube and cerise pink pins are added for extra colour.

A spring brides bouquet. Tulips, marigolds, shamrock chrysants and prado carnations with soft ruscus entwined through a gold wired collar. An old gold bow and ribbon is added for easier carrying. Displayed in a cylinder with clear glass rocks for support.

Ivory and Turquoise wedding

Alison's wedding from 21 March at The Lincoln Hotel.
The theme was ivory and turquoise and as this is difficult to match with flowers, feathers were used.
The brides bouquet was a hand-tie posy of fresh ivory germini and roses with turquoise feathers through the flowers to tone in with the bridesmaids dresses.
The bridesmaids had artificial gerbera hand-tie posies with turquoise feathers forming a collar of colour. There was 2 adult bridesmaids, who had larger bouquets, and 4 smaller bridesmaids.

The male buttonholes were a single rose with feathers as backing and the ladies had a rose and freesia corsage again with added feathers.

The wedding was at The Lincoln Hotel but unfortunately it was on the same day as the Lincoln 10KM run and so entrance to the venue was tricky. To those of you unfamiliar with the route it goes right by the venue and all roads in the area are closed from around 9am -noon at the earliest. The wedding was at 1pm. We decided that leaving set up untill after the race was cutting it fine, with guests having to arrive aswell, so we arranged with the venue to take all table centres and registrars table arrangement up before it started leaving them to place on the tables once they had breakfast out of the way.

The guest table centres were a square lily vase with 3 ivory gerberas and bear grass.

The registrars table was a long and low of gerberas, roses, freesia and other ivory filler flowers with plenty of turquoise feathers in. This photo has gone missing.

As we were early delivering I don't have a photo of the room set up.

Apparently all went well on the day and everyone got there on time with no delays because of the race.

Red rose and white lily hand-tie

A gorgeous hand-tie simply of red roses and white oriental lilies with gyp and foliage. A collar of Black tie and bear grass surround the flowers with a loose wrapping of rose tinted cellophane, finished off with a deep red satin bow. The flowers are placed in a bubble of water and displayed in a ceramic pot.

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.

White and Mocha wedding flowers

After an extremely busy week it is time to catch up on what has been going on.

Ashleigh's wedding was on Friday and the reception was at Washingborough Hall.

The brides teardrop bouquet consisted of Akito roses, white freesia, soft ruscus and bear grass with noisette verdi roses bringing in the accent colour.
Her 3 bridesmaids had hand-ties of Akito roses and bear grass loops finished of with ivory ribbon round the stems.

The flower girl was given a gold wand to carry, that had an akito rose and gyp cluster with an ivory bow to finish.

We also arranged the buttonholes for the bridal party.

The table arrangements (4) at Washingborough Hall were traditional style posies of white and ivory Alstromeria, Carnations, Astilbe, Freesia, Roses and Delianne with a couple of mocha anastasia chrysants to add some colour.

The hired bay trees were dressed in ivory roses with a mocha ribbon and bow and white and mocha finish round the pots. As it was a sunny afternoon they were stood outside the entrance to greet the happy couple on their arrival.

Plum and Ivory wedding flowers

These are the bridal flowers for Genevieve's wedding that took place on Saturday.

The brides bouquet was a hand-tie of plum calla lily and Maroussia roses with ruscus around the outer edge and finished off with ivory ribbon around the stems. In the roses we added pearls to complement the wedding dress.

The adult bridesmaid had a hand-tie of Maroussia roses, with diamantes in the centres, and ruscus with ivory ribbon to finish to complement her dress. The younger bridesmaid had a matching bouquet but with only 3 roses.

The bouquets are photographed in the vases of water that we deliver all our bridal hand-ties in to keep them as fresh as possible before the ceremony.

Artificial Hand-tie Posy

Sam and Jonny's wedding at Branston Hall on 21 August 2009.

The brides bouquet was a simple hand-tie of maroussia roses, alchemilla mollis, sweet william 'green trick' and salal leaves. This was finished off with ivory ribbon around the stems and pinned. The bridesmaids was a smaller version.

For the registrars table we arranged ivory lilies, gerberas, maroussia roses, and spray carnations along with alchemilla mollis, salal, and bupleurum to keep the colour theme of ivory and lime green going.

The tables arrangements at Branston Hall were, per table, a single stem of ivory lily and bear grass in a vase supplied by Sam finished off with apple green sisal to support the stem.

The pictures taken of the reception tables are before Branston Hall had finished setting up and are taken in the bar area as the main part of the Churchill suite was set up for the ceremony.

Blue and white wedding flowers

The ceremony took place at St Oswalds church Blankney. We were asked to arrange 2 pedestals, 2 displays for the tables, and an archway for the Lyche gate. As the budget was finalised it became clear a full flower garland was out of the question and so an alternative was put forward of white gerberas and blue bows for the archway and a baytree either side the gate decorated in colours to match which could then be transported to the reception.

These are the flowers from Natascha and Matt's wedding last Saturday.

The brides hand-tie bouquet consists of crystal blush calla lily, lily grass and bear grass threaded with crystal beads, finished with white satin ribbon.

The bridesmaids hand-tie bouquets were of crystal blush calla lily, blue delphiniums, bear grass with beaded crystals and they had white ribbon around the stems (photo taken before finished off).

The flower girl had a silver wand, with crystals attached, with a white carnation and finished off with blue ribbon.

Purple and White Wedding

These are Catherine's wedding flowers from Saturday. The top picture is the brides shower bouquet consisting of Akito roses, purple eustoma, lilac eustoma and lilac diamantes. There were 4 bridesmaids and all had hand-ties of white, purple and lilac eustoma with lilac diamantes.

The top table arrangement was all eustoma of the different colours used and the table centres were white and purple eustoma with bear grass in square lily vases. These are shown in situ at The Bentley Hotel.
