Cream and blue wedding

 Back at the beginning of June was Melanie's wedding. Based on cream roses with a hint of blue, we provided a gorgeous hand-tie bouquet of small headed roses and eryngiums (thistles). The stems bound in cream satin ribbon.

 The four bridesmaids each wore a wrist corsage of matching roses and spray roses with pittospurnum foliage.

The small flower girl wore a wrist corsage mounted on a ribbon, of a single rose with spray rose buds.

St Helen's Church at Saxby

Joanne and Graham were married at St Helen's at Saxby. A lovely, unusual church built as a parish church and mausoleum.The two alcoves, one either side of the main door, were decorated with a fishbowl.
The windowsills were also decorated with a fishbowl each. These contained a delphinium, eustoma, sweetpeas, eryngium, freesia, roses, eucalyptus and bear grass. They were designed as a tall tied arrangement. These were also doubling up as table centres for the reception at The White Hart hotel, so although height was required I couldn't fill them out too much otherwise guests would be unable to see each other.
As the couple had 8 tables and only 6 were needed in church, (4 windows, 2 alcoves) we used the other two bowls either side the Altar area.

The Altar arrangement, which was doubling up as the top table arrangement.

Ivory and Navy Blue wedding flowers

A small wedding from June. The bride carried a hand-tie posy of ivory roses, navy blue organza 'roses' with navy blue pearl headed pins. The stems were bound with ivory satin ribbon and pinned with matching blue pins.The groom and his men wore a simple ivory rose buttonhole.
The ladies wore a corsage of a single ivory rose with white freesia.
The intimate reception was held at The Barge on the Brayford and we designed 3 table centres. The container was covered with navy blue satin and the flowers included ivory roses, eustoma and stallion chrysants with blue eryngiums.

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.

Andrew J Musson Ltd (Tailors)

We arranged this display (left) for Musson Tailors a couple of weeks ago. There are 3 Anastasia chrysants, erygium and steel grass in a black lily vase. This is displayed in the fitting area of the store. We change the displays as and when required.

The arrangement on the right is todays replacement. This is moluccella, pink anthuriums, pink carnations and midelino sticks.
