White and cream bridal flowers with eucalyptus

Still looking back at previous weddings, this was the one and only wedding I created during the Covid hit 2020. It may seem long ago to some but this pandemic hit our wedding industry like nothing ever has and probably will again. A business which normally crates 40-50 weddings a year reduced to 1!

This one was a stunner though!!!

The wedding of R & J was the perfect blend of white and cream flowers with plenty of foliage, especially eucalyptus. 

The bridal bouquet of roses, stocks, freesia, garden roses, astilbe and eustoma with trailing eucalyptus and gorgeous senecio silver foliage. A lot of these are scented to adding a beautiful extra dimension.

R also requested some silver diamanté's to be included throughout and added to pin the cream satin ribbon in place.

The flowers and foliage lend themselves to the gorgeous country style that is still popular.

This eucalyptus was chosen as it has longer thinner leaves and usually has seed heads too.

The single bridesmaid carried a similar posy but without the trailing foliage and diamanté's.

And the two flower girls carried a small version with a couple of each flower variety and foliage

The groom and his men each wore a single rose buttonhole with a eustoma bloom,  eucalyptus leaf and seed heads, senecio leaf and a sprig of Rosemary for the traditional luck. The stems are bound in cream satin ribbon.

The mother of the bride wore a slightly fuller buttonhole and we added diamanté for a touch of glitz. 

All buttonholes are presented pinned on a board and can be labelled for ease on the day.

I always appreciate when couples send over a few professional photos of the day. Unfortunately I wasn't given their name, so if these are yours please get in touch.

The next post will be the ceremony and reception flowers from this gorgeous wedding. 

If you love these designs and/or colour scheme and would like to chat through your own designs please get in touch

White and blue wedding flowers

A small intimate wedding with the bride's favourite flower ....Carnations.

They may have a poor reputation but I still love these flowers. The colours can be fabulous and they are long lasting AND budget friendly. 

Any ways back to this wedding. The bride loved her carnations and with the colour scheme being white and blue we went with a white variety. The blue was added with a single stem of deep blue delphinium. A simple bouquet was requested, and hopefully achieved. 5 pure white carnations with the delphinium laid on a bed of variegated pittosporum with flowing beargrass for movement. All tied with an eco friendly hessian bow.

The single bridesmaid carried a group of carnations with a hint of blue in the addition of a few delphinium florets surrounded by pitto.

The stems were bound fully with hessian.

The groom matched his bride wearing a single carnation buttonhole with delphinium florets and pitto leaves. Stems bound with twine to carry on the country and eco vibe.

The groomsmen each wore a single carnation buttonhole.

Our buttonholes are presented pinned on a covered board

and these can be labelled if you so choose.

The bridal flowers are presented in one of our recycled flower boxes and cushioned with recycled paper or packing from our deliveries and ultimately laid on a layer of new tissue paper.

Each bride has a unique idea on her flowers. Large or small budgets are designed with the upmost care and at present we have no minimum spend.

If you love our flowers and would like to discuss your options please get in touch.

Blush and ivory wedding flowers

Another gorgeous wedding that really should have been shared before now! 

I loved this styling and colours, the blooms chosen are also a personal favourite, and wait till you see the venue!

K & A chose the gorgeous blush and ivory palette for all of their flowers.

The bridal bouquet was a scrumptious mix of seasonal blooms and foliage. Blush roses, eustoma and alstroemerias with ivory roses, ammi and eustoma with gyp and eucalyptus and senecio foliage.

All tied together with blush satin ribbon.

The brief was a loose style not too neat nor messy.

The 6 bridesmaids all carried a smaller version of the bride's bouquet with more emphasis on ivory to stand out against their blush dresses.

The brides posy with two of her maids.

The groomsmen each wore a gorgeous buttonhole of gyp with pheasant feathers, the stems bound with hessian for a true country style.

The mothers each wore a corsage of a selection of blooms from the bridal bouquet.

Blush and ivory/white is still a strong colour scheme for flowers and can work with a number of different coloured suits and dresses, bringing the whole look of the day together.

Is this your favourite colour? Thinking this may work for your special day? Please get in touch to discuss your style, budget and options.

Don't forget to check back for the wedding reception at Cleatham Hall.

Summer Pastel pink and white bridal flowers

Today I have a beautiful summer wedding that I really should have shared with you before now. This was a fabulous wedding at The Lincoln Hotel and today I will show you the bridal party blooms and displays.

V & G had chosen the colours of white, pink and champagne peach for their florals and once unloaded while they were hydrating I couldn't resist I had to take their pictures!

Beautiful Ammi, or Queen Annes Lace

The stunning oriental lilies being coaxed open

The fabulous array of blooms I was lucky enough to be creating with

and not forgetting the foliage too!

The bride decided to carry a stunning traditional shower bouquet with a mix of white oriental lilies, pink roses, Champagne stocks, eustoma, ammi and mixed foliage.

Adding a modern twist of little butterflies and loops of lily grass.

Loving the gorgeous sweet avalanche pink roses with the pure white lilies.

The side profile so you can see the beautiful champagne double eustoma along with the pink roses and lily

One of my favorite pale pink roses, Sweet Avalanche.

The bride also wore a 3/4 flower crown, to allow room for  her veil to sit.

This glorious crown matched her bouquet with champagne eustoma, pink roses, spray roses ammi and foliage.

The 3 adult bridesmaids each carried a hand tied posy of roses, eustoma, stocks, ammi and pistachio foliage. Tied with white satin ribbon.

A glorious summer mix of blooms.

The 3 flower girls each carried a silver heart shaped wand with a single rose and ammi corsage and trailing ribbons.

The groomsmen all wore matching pale pink rose buttonhole with ammi florets, pistachio foliage and lily grass loops.

The special ladies wore a traditional corsage of white eustoma flowers and foliage.

Buttonholes and corsage ready for delivery to the hotel where the co-ordinater will hand them out.

The bride's party flowers all ready for on the morning delivery. The bride's shower bouquet was a biggie so needed its own social box and instructions on unpacking.

The hotel flowers will be blogged on Monday, make sure you come back for lots more pretty from this wonderful wedding.
