Lisianthus wedding

Here we have Gemma's wedding flowers from July. Her colour theme was purple and white and she loved lisianthus. Her bouquet was a mix of purple, white with purple edging and white lisianthus. Also included was some fountain grass and a collar of salal leaves. The stems were bound with purple ribbon attached with small pearl headed pins.The three bridesmaids were wearing purple and each carried a similar bouquet but with the white and white with purple edge lisianthus.
The little flower girl carried a silver wand with white and white/purple lisianthus with fountain grass and a salal leaf.
All the men's buttonholes were white/purple lisianthus with asparagus fern.
The ladies wore a white lisianthus corsage with fountain grass, asparagus fern and gyp.
The reception was held at The White Hart (Lincoln). (2nd time for us this weekend) Unfortunately the tables were not ready for us on delivery, so we couldn't get any photos.

The table centres Gemma chose were a small fishbowl with 3 purple edged carnations sitting on glass 'ice' with bear grass swirls. She had decided to make her own centrepieces but on us giving a quote she realised it was better to leave it to us.
We also provided all the flowers for the church ladies so everything matched.

Just so you know:

Lisianthus and Eustoma are the same flower, some call it one, some the other.

Flower Arrangements

Some of the gorgeous flower arrangements we have delivered.

A rose and carnation vintage style table centre in shades of pink and cream. Created using our customers very own vintage container.
A gorgeous arrangement sent out on the birth of a baby boy. Cream lily, cymbidium orchids, roses, alstroemeria and eustoma with blue iris. Blue accessories of midelino sticks wrapped on the inside of the vase and blue butterflies add colour.

Charlotte House

Natalie's wedding ceremony and reception were both held at Charlotte House.

The civil ceremony was held in The Drawing Room where we were asked to provide a pedestal in creams and whites for behind the registrars table. This would be later moved to The Orangery for the meal.

The flowers were lilies, eustoma, roses, alstroemeria, germinis and stallion chrysants, with various foliage.
As this was an intimate gathering with a single table, a large table centre was required. We designed this in similar flowers to the pedestal.

De Vere Belton Woods Hotel

Nicola's wedding reception was held in the Hawthorn Suite at De Vere Belton Woods Hotel. A lovely light room with large windows overlooking the golf course.

The top table is a huge oval table and as such needs a large display to fill the space. Glacier roses, white eustoma, dahlias, alstroemaria, bouvardia, carnations and button chrysants were used with palm and aspidistra leaves and other foliage.
As it is such a large table we decided it could take a wine glass arrangement at either end in matching flowers. These were used as thank you's after the speeches.

Nicola liked the fish bowl arrangements for her guest tables. These had three glacier roses floating on water each having a diamante pin in the centre. Bear grass was swirled around the inside of the bowls.
We placed each bowl on a round mirror enabling the light to be reflected back through the glass.

Rose, Eustoma and bouvardia wedding flowers

Nicola's wedding flowers from last Friday. She had done quite a bit of research into the flowers she wanted for her wedding and as such was quite specific in what was required. I was given pictures of how she wanted the bouquets to look as well as all the buttonholes. Nicola was however open to advice on the flower varieties which would work best.

For the brides bouquet roses and eustoma were requested and bouvardia if possible. We agreed that Glacier rose, fabulous scent, worked well with white eustoma and white bouvardia with soft ruscus foliage.

The bridesmaid, her sister, carried a hand-tie of glacier roses, white eustoma and bouvardia with a collar of hard ruscus foliage.
The stems were bound by material left over from the making of the bides veil.Unfortunately we didn't have time to photograph all the buttonholes and corsages required.

Hi Sandra & Robert

Thought you may like to see a pic.

Thanks again, Nicola & Dean

Branston Hall

The last instalment from Saturday.

Hannah's ceremony and reception were held at Branston Hall. As it was a late pm wedding we arrived at dinner to deliver the bridal flowers and to set the table displays.

Hannah had wanted to keep it simple for the tables so in keeping with her flowers we arranged 3 maroussia roses with bear grass in tall clear vases.

This is the bar area at night, the tables are kept in here while the ceremony takes place next door and then moved while the bridal party has the photographs taken outside.


The Churchill Suite dressed for the wedding ceremony.
The registrars table display. Hannah sent me a photo which she had found and asked if I could recreate it in her flowers. The flowers are Oriental lily, maroussia roses, eustoma, carnations and small button chrysants.
Two bay trees were placed either side of the entrance to the room, placed so when you walk down the corridor you will first notice one then as you turn to walk in you will see the other.

Washingborough Hall

The civil service flowers from Morog's wedding on Saturday.

The registrars table display was a mix of red and white/ivory flowers. Gerberas, carnations, eustoma, alstroemeria, and delianne were included with a mixture of foliage.
On the registrars table. It would also be transferred to the top table for the reception.
In either corner in the ceremony room there is a stone pedestal ideal for having a large arrangement displayed. Again these are a combination of reds/whites and creams. Gerberas, carnations, anastasia, eustoma, and delianne with foliage.

A slightly dark photo but it is difficult with the light coming in from the huge window.
The baytrees with ivory roses and red ribbon and red and white bases.
The guest tables were of large martini vases which we hired, filled with florist gel and made to look like giant glasses of martini. We wanted a quick photo but a member of the bridal party was in charge of filling them and they wasn't ready when we left.

Norton Lodge

Norton Lodge was the setting for Louise's wedding reception.

Keeping on the classic theme of white it was decided to have simple clear lily vases as table centres with a stem of oriental lily and bear grass strands.
The top table was a long and low design with lilies, geberas, roses, anthuriums, eustoma and kermit chrysants all keeping to the white colour scheme.
The lilies were kept central in the vases by white sisal.
The scent as you walked into the room was divine.
We spoke to Louise's mum on Monday morning and all went well and everybody loved the flowers. Thank you.

Glass cube arrangement

A glass cube arrangement with alstromeria, eustoma, gerberas and midelino sticks.

Sent out for a local delivery.

Top Table display

A top table arrangement to go up to Gretna Green with a happy couple for a wedding tomorrow.

The brides colour scheme is chocolate and white. With flower scheme of roses and lilies. With this in mind we used gorgeous Maroussia roses, white oriental lily, white eustoma and germini with a variety of foliage both in green and chocolate.

Buttonholes were also made for the bridal party.
