Spring Themed Wedding

Helen’s decided to use spring in her favour and used all seasonal flowers – A lovely mix 

of narcissus and daffodils with a few white roses.
The brides bouquet was a traditional teardrop shape with the white roses and an 

assortment of white, cream and pale yellow narcissus and small daffodils.

Rose and Narcissus teardrop

Not wanting any foliage this was a tightly packed flower design and the narcissus gave 

off a lovely scent.

Yellow and white Narcissus

All the bridesmaids carried a hand tie posy of bright yellow daffodils. As these are 

sappy flowers the stems had to be completely bound up with ribbon and Helen decided 

to continue the yellow theme.

Bridesmaid posy

There were 5 bridesmaids and here are there flowers all ready for delivery.

All the men were given a yellow daffodil buttonhole with a sprig of asparagus 

sprengeri foliage.

Hemswell Court

Rosea’s wedding reception was held at the gorgeous Hemswell 

Court, Lincolnshire. This is a stunning venue with lovely rooms 

and grounds for photo opportunities. Receptions are generally 

held in The Primrose room and this was no exception.

The top table here is a large oval table giving plenty of room for all.

The table design that works best is a long and low and we followed 

on with Rosea’s white and ivory scheme including all from 

flowers from her bouquet.

Top table flowers

Roses, Stocks, Phalaenopsis orchids, white lilac and bouvardia with 

various foliage.

Top table display

The guest tables each had a white candelabra and I added 3 white 

roses laid out around the base, in keeping with the simple and 

elegant look.

I also provided ‘Thank you’ flowers to be given during the speeches. 

These were to be slightly brighter without adding any further colours.

White and Ivory Bridal Flowers

Rosea’s wedding flowers were to be kept neutral in colour but 

elegant at the same time.  We chose an assortment of classic and 

seasonal flowers (April) with roses (spray and bloom), Phalaenopsis 

orchids, lilac, stocks, calla lilies with asparagus fern.

White Shower Bouquet

This bouquet is in my top 5 from last year, look stunning and the 

scent was gorgeous.

Close up of the array of flowers in both the ‘shower’ part above and 

‘posy’ part below. One colour in varying shades needn’t be bland, 

using different sizes and shapes gives interest to the design.

The bridesmaids each carried a hand tied posy of a small selection 

of the same flowers and foliage.

The stems were bound together with ivory satin ribbon

The flower girls each carried a silver heart shaped wand with a

Washingborough Hall Hotel

Becky and her groom were married in St John’s Church in 
Washingborough and wanted a single pedestal design. I re-created 
the waterfall design of the bouquet, rather than the more traditional 
design. Added into the pinks and ivory flowers were red roses as 
these had significance to the bride.
This design was to be carried back to the Hall for the reception.

Washingborough Church Pedestal

Washingborough Hall was the setting for the wedding breakfast.
The top table had a trailing long and low design in a mix of red,
pinks and ivory flowers with mixed foliage.

Top Table design

The guest tables each had a 100 cm candelabra with a central point
 display and 4 candles. The flower mix matched the top table.
