Pink, Ivory and Coral wedding flowers

 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.

English country style bouquets

I first met Lucy at The Lincoln Wedding Fayre where I was displaying in The Judges Lodgings back in October.
When we met for a consult she had a clear idea on what flowers and style she wanted and had gathered a few pictures to show me. The wedding was going to fairly informal with a country feel to it with a marquee in the garden for the reception, and the flowers reflected this;
Peonies, large bloom roses, sweetpeas and heather.
The two smaller bridesmaids carried hand-tie posies of peonies, sweetpeas, Heaven, Lenny and Prima donna roses with sprigs of heather.

 Lucy gave me the fabric to wrap around the stems of the bouquets.

 The peonies will have continued to open throughout the day and the scent from these, the sweetpeas and roses was divine.
