Features in Wedding Flower Magazine

Going through all my posts set to draft, I've come across this one. I was so honoured and overjoyed at being in this glossy magazines for 3 consecutive issues, one as a collaboration and 2 for my own work.

Unfortunately it closed down earlier this year but was a staple of many wedding florists and brides to show choice and colour available for your blooms.

As I still love the designs featured I thought I would show you all, and I still have many copies for you to look through at consultations here at The Studio.

The first time being featured was with a lovely group of ladies on a day course I booked to learn the techniques of creating large scale displays, particularly ceiling hoops. It was a fabulous day and I still treasure the images the lovely photographer Laura Calderwood shared with us all.

As creatives we are always, or should be, willing to learn and expand our knowledge to create new features or up to date and time saving ways of working, while being able to deliver more for our clients and wow their guests.

The second issue I featured in was with these glorious peach flowers. I also got an extra feature in the Flower look book.

Coral and peach are still popular today and the flowers designs chosen are still as relevant as ever.

Which one is your favourite?

The last and third issue I was in was with these perfect purple designs.

Purple never really goes away, I create several weddings in purple every year, so again still as relevant as ever.

If you love any of these designs and would like to talk through your options for your wedding day please get in touch. You can also book appointments online here

Peach and coral wedding reception designs

Colour Wednesday continues with a look a peach/coral arrangements for your wedding reception.

This is a colour that I haven't as yet done as many designs for but those I have have been fabulous.

Our tall conical vases with a lovely display of coral roses and carnations, white freesia and blue hydrangea. Add in pearls and lace for a touch of old world glamour.

To match those the ceremony was held under a beautiful arch (later transferred to the top table) of roses, gyp and carnations with organza and pearl detailing.

For low table designs our small silver candelabras are just the ticket. Filled here with coral and white roses and peach and white gerbera with foliage and gyp.

For a country or vintage style our birdcages will suit. Roses, dahlia, and seasonal loveliness on your tables with extra scattered rose petals.

If you are having an entrance display you may want to have a few fresh flowers for your post box or step ladders. We can style any design to suit from a small corner design to something free standing.

Up Up and away, our gorgeous hot air balloon designs are stunning in peach. 

Jam jars are still popular, fill with seasonal goodies to get the best flowers your budget will allow.

Team them with taller designs, such as large martini vases. These will WOW any room.

Lilies, stocks, berries, alstroemeria and stallion chrysants, make for a scent filed display.

It's not just jam jars, any jars can have flowers. These vintage bottles may only take a stem or two

but can be grouped together to make a pretty display.

Mercury vases are very popular at the minute, a touch of glamour for your tables.

Wanting a large display to greet your guests but not a fan of urns or pedestals? Our larger mirror display with beautiful flowers acts as a seating plan too. Can be displayed portrait or landscape to suit your design.

At the stunning Irnham Hall with a mix of peach flowers to compliment the many vases on the long tables.

Is a shade of peach your wedding colour? We would love to talk through these and other designs to help you plan the perfect displays. 

To book a consultation either phone/email or you can book online

Peach wedding bouquets

Another look at colour in bridal bouquets, focusing on peach, and all the hues from orange, coral, mango, apricot and salmon.

When talking through flower options do bare in mind the undertones to your peach colour, does it have pink tinges, yellow, orange, brown? This can vary widely and many peachy flowers will look a different shade next to a colour with opposing tones.

This gerbera wedding was a classic example. The bride wanted to match to her coral sashes and bridesmaid dresses. I chose many varieties and nothing seemed to work. In the end I gave a sample of fabric to my supplier who came up with a perfect match. Just talking colour tones is really difficult, seeing the colour really does help.

A more orange tone with these gorgeous roses, holly and berries for an autumnal look.

Or a pinky peach with another gorgeous rose, along with ivory roses and freesia, Rosemary, ferns and salal for a more elegant style.

For a Mary Poppins themed wedding lots of ruffles, lace and pearls, with Miss Piggy roses, a coral and ivory roses.

A structured teardrop design jam packed with roses from dark coral, lighter coral, peach and pale pink add in a few berries and heather and voila!

A different take on a rose packed bouquet, this time a hand tie. Softer brown/peach, cream/peach and a vibrant roses surrounded with fern.

Soft yellow peach roses amongst a cloud of gyp. 

A pastel bouquet showing peach and pink can work very well together

Or perhaps you are more vibrant? Orange and cerise pink gerberas with burgundy roses and foliage

A bridesmaid bouquet of peach lily, berries, stocks, darker alstroemeria, ivory veronica and phalaenopsis orchid to compliment

the bridal shower bouquet of similar flowers.

Calla lily have some lovely shades too.

These are mango calla teamed with ostrich feathers and dark foliage.

For a pretty style this bridal bouquet of peach calla, Miss Piggy rose, apricot carnation, eustoma and white hydrangea hits the spot.

The bridesmaid bouquet had alstroemeria instead of calla lily.

I hope this has given you inspiration for your peach coloured wedding bouquet. For more in-depth look at the weddings above search by colour under labels for the different shades. 

For more guidance please book a consultation where we can talk through the shades and tones you are using and come up with some flower varieties to suit.
