Rainbow coloured wedding flowers

I hadn't realised quite how far behind I had got with the weddings and blogging! So many great designs to show you and lots of ideas to give you inspiration.

Let's start with this pre-pandemic (was there such a time!) wedding for P and E.

Their preference was for the ladies to carry a simple posy of carnations, a mix of green, pale peach, gold and white, with a frilling of pistachio.

While the groomsmen wore pale peach traditional style buttonholes.

The wedding was held at The Lincoln Hotel and all the table flowers were to follow the LGBTQ+ rainbow colours.

The ceremony, and later the top table, display was a rainbow explosion of all the colours.

The ceremony room at The Lincoln Hotel

The room was set for 5 guest tables for the 5 rainbow colours.

The table flowers were included within the hotel package (I am one of their preferred suppliers) and this couple chose the small wood crates which we filled with individual colours.

The blue one included Delphinium, thistle, Scabious, Echinops and cornflowers.

The orange design included celosia, carnations, spray roses, sweet peas and roses.

The red was filled with gerbera, celosia, spray roses, eustoma and sweet peas.

The yellow crate included a sunny mix of Deliann, spray roses, gerbera and freesia.

The purple (my favourite) was a lovely summer mix of stocks, eustoma, sweet peas, freesia and lavender.

Each of the designs in situ to show the size on the tables. Once the tables are set these crates are the perfect size and can be kept/given away afterwards.

If you love these designs, or are getting married at The Lincoln Hotel and would like to talk through your own designs please get in touch. You can go to the website to see more gorgeous wedding designs and book a consultation at The Studio or click here

Yellow wedding bouquets

Thursday means it is colour day and today we look at ways to have a yellow themed bouquet.

Yellow is getting more popular over the years as bride's are wanting 'something different' and going for more vibrant colours.

We start off with a spring favourite of mine, the humble daffodil. Some florists won't entertain this flower because of the sap, but treated right and prepared well it won't be a problem. These bride and bridesmaid posies looked fabulous against navy dresses.

Love narcissus? Go with a shower bouquet of scented spring loveliness with a few ivory roses to tone down the yellow.

Another spring bouquet, this is gorgeous yellow double tulips, white hyacinths and cream roses, another scented posy.

Love tulips? a long posy of mixed white and yellow blooms are perfect for a spring wedding .

For a bright May wedding what about this gorgeous posy? Yellow lily, tulips and chrysanthemums with fern.

Or maybe you are a gerbera fan? These cute posies of gerbera and white september daisies and fern

or just gerbera are perfect for your maids.

For a summer wedding you can't go wrong with bright yellow sunflowers!

Team either with a cloud of gyp

or go with dark green foliage to set off the blooms.

Sunflowers and daisies are another popular choice.

For your smaller maids how about a single sunflower bloom?

Love daisies?White chrysants, September daisy and Chamomile mixed in with yellow sol and spray roses makes a pretty summer bouquet.

Chamomile daisy with craspedia is perfect for a light posy for your maids

add in green succulents for a modern twist on your bouquet.

Cute craspedia posies for the little ones to carry.

For a glamorous bouquet try yellow calla lily and craspedia with ivory roses.

For a more formal day a teardrop bouquet of yellow roses, white freesia and if a hint of blue is required triteleia flowers with fern.

A classic posy of ivory and gold roses with Veronica, stephanotis and foliage.

Or a mass of yellow roses with a collar of deep glossy green foliage and wild bear grass

Roses and freesia an old but classic combination for a wedding.

Modern colour combinations, purple and yellow with lots of herbs for a scented posy for the maids

and bride

Same colours, no foliage, a cleaner style with roses, gerberas, eustoma, september daisy and trachelium.

add in blue to the mix also works, yellow roses, purple calla, blue hydrangea.

Are you having a wedding around the colour yellow? Having a secondary colour? Let us help you to decide on the flowers. Hopefully this post has given you lots of inspiration for this often overlooked colour. Be bright, be bold, perfect for a spring wedding (lots of spring flowers are yellow) or for a summer do there will be lots of summer sunshine (even if it does be a typical British summer day).

Book in for a consultation and let us walk you through the planning of your flowers.

Sunflower wedding bouquets

This lovely sunny wedding was all about sunflowers. The bride loved them! Her bouquet was a simple design of 5 large sunflowers with tree fern and salal foliage.

The stems were bound with twine to carry on the overall rustic look of the wedding.

The bridesmaids each carried a bouquet of 3 large sunflowers with tree fern, the stems were again bound with twine.

The grooms men each wore a small sunflower as a buttonhole with no extra foliage. These stems were again bound with twine.

All buttonholes are delivered pinned onto a board.

The ladies wore a double ivory rose buttonhole with matching foliage to the brides bouquet.
