Rose and gerbera wedding

Suzanne's wedding flowers from August. She wanted her flowers to be unfussy but pretty to match the wedding colour theme of pink. We eventually settled on a mix of roses and germini in white and baby pink. Suzanne also requested some sparkle in her bouquet so some diamanté were added to the centre of the roses. The stems were wrapped in matching pink ribbon and held with more diamanté pins.

The three bridesmaids carried a hand-tie posy of germinis in white, baby and cerise pink, with stems bound in white satin ribbon.
All the men wore white germini buttonholes with ruscus foliage.
The two mums wore a white germini wrist corsage on an ivory pearl band.

A last minute wedding

Back in August I received a phone call on a Wednesday for wedding flowers on the Friday, could I help? As the shop had a good variety of flowers and the groom who was ordering them left colours to me, I said yes. The only colours he gave me were the dresses, the bride was wearing red and bridesmaids pink.

This was the brides hand-tied bouquet.

A selection of white and ivory flowers including lilies, germinis, hydrangea and roses with mixed foliage.
The three bridesmaids bouquets were of white hydrangea and roses and pink germini and spray roses.
Also requested were 4 table arrangements for display at the reception which was being held at their home. For these I used glass cubes in two designs.

One a longer, lower design using white hydrangea and freesia with pink alstroemeria and lilies.
The other a taller arrangement with white freesia and lilies with pink roses and gerberas.
There were also a handful of rose buttonholes.

A last minute wedding can sometimes work, as on this occasion, but it does depend on what is in stock and how flexible you are on what you have. My advice is always the more notice you can give the better choice you will have.

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.

Lincoln Security

Lincoln Securities arrangement from Monday. It has been awhile since I have done a really girly arrangement for the office and having lots of pink flowers in thought I would give them a change.

There are pink anastasia, pink germini, pink carnations and ruscus with pink tulle entwined through the flowers, all arranged in a matching pink pot.
