Red rose and white freesia wedding

Wedding flowers from 17th July.

A small wedding consisting of a brides teardrop bouquet and 9 rose buttonholes.

Red and white was the colour scheme, so we chose red passion roses for the buttonholes with ruscus leaves.
The bride carried a teardrop bouquet in red passion roses and white freesias with ruscus foliage as a filler.

Motorbike Helmet Tribute

We were asked if we could design a tribute in the style of a motorbike helmet. This is a ready made shape, new in. The customer chose the royal blue colour and wanted 'Ben' on a ribbon.

The blue is white double chrysants, (sprayed), domed to give more shape and the 'face' is foliage sprayed black. A sheet of acetate is used for the visor to finish the design. A small spray of flowers was added to lift the colour.
Our condolences go to all family and friends.

Aeroplane Tribute

We were asked if we could create a bomber plane for a funeral tribute.

As always, yes we can.

Colours were left to us but camouflage seemed appropriate.

The main body and wings are in white double chrysants sprayed brown and green. The cockpit has black stripes and plain white chrysants for the glass. The propeller is leaves sprayed black with a yellow rose for the spinner.

Our condolences go to the family.

Andrew J Musson Tailors

The arrangement this week for Andrew J Musson Tailors.

A single stem of royal blue delphinium with two strelitzia, bird of paradise, and an aspidistra leaf.

Dart Funeral Tribute

We were asked if we could create a tribute in the form of a dart. As we say anything is possible.Colours were left to us, so a quick look on the net to find out what colours are popular for darts left us baffled. Apparently they come in any colour and combination of colours and patterns.

So to keep it simple we went for a silver tip and body with red flights.

Ideas for Table/Floor displays

A couple of new ideas for Table/Floor displays.

Our very large martini vase filled with blue coloured gravel. In amongst this are 3 yellow gerberas to add a splash of colour with a co-ordinating candle on top. Colours can be altered to your colour scheme depending on availability.
A large wood effect container which can stand up to 5 foot high dependant on flowers used. Have this as a budget alternative to a full pedestal or as an added extra for a church porch way or entrance lobby.

Colours and flowers can be altered to fit in with your flower scheme. We already have an order for a church porch way in a few weeks.... watch this blog for pictures.

In this arrangement are white oriental lilies, gerberas and stocks with aspidistra leaves.

White Hart Hotel (Lincoln)

The reception venue of Sarah and Mark was the White Hart Hotel Lincoln.

The top table display was a long and low arrangement. Mainly of white oriental lilies and avalanche roses it also included ivory eustoma, spray roses and button chrysants.
Each of the guest tables had a round lily vase filled with navy gravel with a single stem of white oriental lily and silver ting ting. All displayed on a round mirror with tea lights.

The King Richard Suite at the White Hart looks lovely dressed in white and navy.

We also provided the 'Thank yous' for the mums. These were again of roses and lilies to match in with all the other flowers.

Rose and lily wedding Flowers

The wedding flowers of the lovely Sarah and Mark from Saturday.

From the first consult Sarah knew exactly what she wanted for her bouquet. I was given a picture from a magazine to recreate. A gorgeous hand-tie of ivory roses and white lilies with a touch of foliage.

The roses we chose were Avalanche along with the fabulous white oriental lilies creating a wonderful aroma. Parvi eucalyptus spikes added just the right amount of contrast. The stems were bound up in navy satin ribbon.

As the the six bridesmaids all wore navy blue dresses they carried a small hand-tie of avalanche roses again with a few sprigs of eucalyptus, with the stems bound in ivory satin ribbon. To add touch of navy the ribbon was pinned with navy coloured pins.
The flower girl carried three avalanche roses with eucalyptus again with ivory ribbon and blue pins.
All the men in the bridal party had an Avalanche rose buttonhole with eucalyptus foliage.
The two Mums wore a corsage of ivory eustoma and spray roses with eucalyptus and ruscus foliage.
