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.

A blue arrangement for a baby boy.

I was asked to create a 'girly' arrangement for a lady who had had a baby boy.

We chose the traditional blues and whites of anastasia chrysants, lilies, roses, gyp, agapanthus, iris, scilla and september. With lots of pale blue feathers and butterflies.

Both arrangements were designed using our glass cubes.

A Classic White Wedding

A classic white wedding theme was chosen by Louise for her wedding on Saturday.
After much thought a traditional tear-drop design was chosen for the bridal bouquet with white avalanche roses, white crystal blush calla lily and ivory Asiatic lily. Soft ruscus and tree fern provided a dark green background for the flowers.The butterflies were provided by the bride to be included in her bouquet as they were being used throughout the wedding.
The Maid of Honour had a hand-tie posy of 3 avalanche roses and 3 heads of ivory oriental lily with a few sprigs of tree fern. All bound together with ivory satin ribbon finished off with a small bow.
The two other bridesmaids carried a simple posy of 3 avalanche roses with sprigs of tree fern. Finished off as above.
The two Mothers had a very simple yet elegant spray of freesia with silver ting ting and a silver bow to complement their outfits.
The groom wore a single white crystal blush calla lily with ruscus and tree fern to match the bridal bouquet.
The rest of the men from the bridal party wore a single avalanche rose buttonhole with tree fern.

Pride of Lincoln

The Pride of Lincoln was the setting for Lyndsey's wedding reception.

Unfortunately the tables were not quite ready when we arrived but it gives an idea of the set up.

A long and low type arrangement was the top table arrangement. Again the theme being pink gerberas. Wax flower, broom and bear grass added movement to a base of mixed foliage.

The guest tables were small clear bowls with clear sones in the base. 3 germini swirled inside along with bear grass strands and a butterfly was attached at the top.

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 Christmas arrangement from Monday.

The fresh material used was 3 Dutch bloom chrysants, red glitter thistles, silver glitter wax flower and gyp.

This was arranged in a mirrored cube with an edging of bronze Christmas decoration with a silver butterfly to finish. The cube was placed on a large round mirror to add even more sparkle from reflections from the lighting in the shop.
