An all white affair

An all white wedding.

A December wedding where the only colour was to be white. The brides hand-tie was three snowball chrysanthemums surrounded by akito roses a collar of white feathers. (Apologies for the quality of the photos but white on white just doesn't take and we were short for time.)
The bridesmaid carried a hand-tied bouquet of akito roses and white feathers.

Red and white rose wedding

The flowers from Bryony's wedding on 9th October.

Bryony's flower of choice was the rose, her colour scheme was red, white and blue. Having looked through our portfolio she chose this hand-tie design of red freedom and white akito roses with asparagus fern. To add in a touch of blue we bound the stems with baby blue satin ribbon.

For her 4 maids a simple yet effective single red freedom rose was chosen to stand out against their dresses. To add some movement a few strands of bear grass were added and the stems were again bound with blue satin ribbon.

The two flower girls carried a single passion rose with looped strands of bear grass (for safety) again with blue ribboned stems.
The ladies wore an assortment of rose corsages.

This one is a passion rose with red spray roses, ruscus foliage and bear grass.

Red, White and Ivory roses

This is Kelly's wedding from Jocastas on Friday. We were recommended to her by one of our previous brides.

For the brides bouquet Kelly had found a picture on the internet of a bouquet she particularly liked and asked me to recreate, although not entirely of the same flowers the style is the same. She chose crystal blush calla lily, akito, maroussia and freedom roses with no foliage. It is a hand-tie design but slightly different to the domed effect I usually create, so you can see more of individual blooms. The stems were covered in ecru satin ribbon to tie in with the bridesmaid dresses.
The three bridesmaids carried a single stem of the gorgeous maroussia rose with a few strands of bear grass. Stems covered in ecru satin ribbon.
Th flower girl carried a single freedom rose with looped strands of bear grass.
The males of the bridal party all wore a single akito rose buttonhole.
The ladies also wore a single akito rose but with a sprig of gyp.

Rose and Agapanthus Wedding

This is Ciona's wedding from 31 July at The Lincoln Hotel. She came to us as we had been involved with a close family wedding a couple of years ago.

Ciona's wedding bouquet was a teardrop design of white akito roses and pale blue agapanthus with soft ruscus foliage. Five white butterflies add the finishing touches to tie in with the theme of the day.

The bridesmaid carried a hand-tie of matching flowers with aspidistra leaves with lilac ribbon around the stems.
The groom's buttonhole was a single akito rose with 2 florets of agapanthus and ruscus foliage.
We also made 9 single rose buttonholes for the bridal party.

Red and ivory rose wedding

This is the wedding of the lovely Morog who contacted us via the Internet from Guernsey to ask if it was possible to arrange flowers for her wedding at Washingborough Hall Hotel.

She wanted simple but stunning flowers based around red roses.

For the brides bouquet the gorgeous Colombian Freedom red roses matched the colour scheme perfectly. All we were asked to add was diamante pins to the centre of most of the flowers and to bind the stems with ivory satin ribbon and pin with matching red pins.
Her daughter, the bridesmaid, carried a similar style with red, freedom, and ivory, akito, roses. Again with diamante pins and satin ribbon around the stems.
The flower girl carried a silver star wand with a red, freedom, rose with ivory satin bow and trails. The wand handle was also bound in ivory satin ribbon.
The brides mum wore a corsage of a red, freedom, rose and white eustoma with variegated ivy leaves.
All the groomsmen wore a matching freedom rose buttonhole with a single variegated ivy leaf.

Ivory and Champagne Rose Wedding

Sam's wedding flowers from Saturday.

The colour scheme was ivory and champagne.

The brides hand-tie consisted of Akito and Talea roses with pitto foliage and gyp with an ivory organza ruffle around the edge. Bear grass loops and trails add length. The stems were part bound with ivory ribbon and pinned.

The three flower girls each carried a heart shaped silver wand with an akito rose and gyp spray with ivory ribbon trails to match in with the brides.
Akito rose buttonholes were also provided for the bridal party.

White and Royal Blue Wedding

After a busy start to the week, more about that later, I have now time to add photos of Shelley's wedding from Saturday.

A minimalist do, with no fuss was the order of the day.

Shelley's bouquet was white crystal blush calla lilies with bear grass foliage in the modern hand-tie style. Bound together with ivory satin ribbon with pearl pins.

The buttonholes were white Akito roses with foliage, with the ladies having an added sprig of gyp.
The two bridesmaids wore a wrist corsage of a single white akito rose, gyp, freesia buds and royal blue feathers. All attached to a white pearl wrist band.

White and Navy Blue wedding flowers

The wedding flowers of a wonderful bride, Maria.

The family have been customers for a while especially the Mother of the bride and she also had us recommended by a previous bride.

The run up to the wedding was, well, not perfect but (Bob) on speaking to Maria on Saturday morning in the pouring rain was told they were going to enjoy the day no matter what!

Bob spoke to the Mother of the bride this morning and all went fantastically well, they are married and all who were part of the day pulled out all the stops to make it a day to remember for the right reasons.

We wish the couple all the best for the future.

The brides hand-tie was a mix of white roses/germini/spray roses and freesia, with pistachio and eucalyptus foliage and navy blue feathers. Silver birch was also added to reflect the silver accent colour. All was bound together with navy blue ribbon and pearl headed pins.
The bridesmaids carried a simple 'flower wand' of 3 white gerberas with a few strands of bear grass in the centre. They are bound together with silver satin ribbon.
The flower girl held a silver heart shaped wand with a white germini and navy blue feathers and ribbon trails attached.

County Assembly Rooms

For a ladies evening at the Lincoln County Assembly Rooms we were asked to provide table centres that were round and could stand the lamps they use in the centre. We were given the colour scheme of white and green but the flowers we used was left up to us.

We used foam rings so the lamps could stand easily in the centre. For the foliage we used pistachio, leather leaf and cuppress and flowers of akito roses, astilbe, freesias, gypsophila and hydrangeas.

After a last minute adjustment to table numbers we provided 15 arrangements.

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.

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.
