Jenny's wedding was at the end of April last year. Her flowers were a mix of spring and summer and the first hint that coral was coming into fashion again. This was the first time in a long time I had been asked for it, but mixed in with the pinks ivory's and creams it works well.
This was a hand-tie design including pink germini and astilbe, ivory tulips, spirea, stallion chrysants, genista, cream spray carnations and coral roses. Jenny had asked me to include a bird brooch in the design and to add in pearls in the centre of the larger flowers. Added to this I was also asked if it was possible to create two very small bunches individually wrapped within the bouquet that could, after the service before walking back down the aisle that could be removed to be presented to the two mums. The bouquet still needed to look as a whole before and after this presentation, oh and could I also include a pendant to each small bunch that had a meaningful saying on. Jenny did at this point say if it wasn't possible not to worry but it obviously was something she wanted and what my brides want they get, if it is at all possible. The putting together was not a problem but it had to be easy enough to undo without the need of scissors and still look good once the bunches had gone!
Apparently it worked a treat and Jenny was really impressed with the way it all worked.
The two older bridesmaids had a similar mix of flowers to the brides but without any pearls or brooches and slightly smaller.
The younger bridesmaid had a slightly smaller version but still the same mix. All bouquets had the stems wrapped in aqua ribbon.
All the men wore a pale pink germini with sprig of gyp in their buttonholes.
