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

Pink lily wedding

On sorting through my photos, it is a long job, I came across this wedding which has never appeared on the blog.
I have had interest in this bouquet at consultations so thought I would share with you all today.

A gorgeous teardrop bouquet totally in shades of pink. The centre star is a lovely asiatic lily with diamante detailing with a mix of sweet avalanche roses and pink eustoma and ivy trails.


A glorious bouquet for a bride who loves lilies.


The bridesmaids carried a small posy of a single lily flower surrounded with pink roses and cream eustoma.


The ladies corsages were a mass of cream eustoma one with black leaves


and one with green.


The grooms buttonhole was a pink rose with eustoma flowers, ivy leaves and diamante.



We also provided the long and low for the top table created with the same flowers as the bouquets, lilies, eustoma and roses. Add in some silver grass loops to blend in with the table centrepieces.





The gorgeous top table with thrones for the happy couple at Lucarlys at Grimsby.



If you love lilies and are wanting to include them in your wedding flowers please talk to us and we can show you many more options for styling your day.

White gerbera wedding

A lovely gerbera wedding I was thrilled to be asked to provide flowers for from the weekend.
Julie knew what she wanted when she first met me at a wedding fair and fortunately I had a very similar bouquet on my stand. 
The bride's bouquet was gorgeous black centred gerberas with lilac roses, gyp, cuscus foliage and bear grass loops.


We added some sparkle with diamante pins in the roses



Julie had 5 bridesmaids in total, all different ages, so we went all gerberas for the older ladies, mimicking the bride with cuscus foliage and bear grass loops.



The younger maids had a smaller bouquet in the same style



and lastly the flower girl carried a single gerbera with bear grass loops and ribbon trails.



We also provided 6 groomsmen buttonholes, similar in style to this one (I forgot to take photos)

and also ladies buttonholes.

If you love gerberas and would like to include them in your wedding flowers, either as one of many blooms or on their own, please get in touch to discuss your options. We love gerberas here at The Studio and are always happy to provide them for your bouquets (unlike many florists!) and buttonholes. Many will tell you they won't withstand the day, but we have done many gerbera weddings over the years without problem. 
For more of our designs go to 'labels' on the right and scroll to 'gerbera'.

We look forward to hearing from you soon

Christmas wedding flowers

Are you in the midst of planning a Christmas wedding? Looking for inspiration for your flowers? Well you have come to the right place, for today we look at the flowers that are suitable for a seasonal do.

This first one may be a promotional poster but look at those fabulous flowers! Roses, poinsettia, berries orchids, twigs and cones, very Christmas looking. 

You can't beat the traditional white and red theme at this time of year and these bouquets would suit it down to the ground. Are your maids wearing red? Normally callas are the prerogative of the bride but here she had them mixed with scarlet red roses where her maids had them on their own.



We did this photo shoot in the height of summer but look at that candlelight! With the mirror and all that gorgeous eucalyptus it just screams Christmas. Who says a bouquet has to be flowers!



A beautiful red bouquet of gerberas, roses and berries framed with a variegated foliage collar this is just perfect for a Christmas themed day.



Another take on red and white, white roses with red hypericum berries lots of green foliage too to warm up the colours.



Who wouldn't love to carry this bouquet? Scrumptious velvet red roses packed tightly together with ruscus foliage and bear grass loops.


Another rose bouquet, this could be a bride or bridesmaids. Gorgeous ivory roses with lily grass loops and sparkly diamante, always a hit for Christmas weddings.


Another all white bouquet. This has lots of gorgeous flowers, roses, spray roses, ranunculus and freesia all packed tightly together and some sparkle in there too.




A slightly different take, a blue and white bouquet, who says Christmas has to be red!
Small ivory roses, white Cyclamen flowers and blue thistles. Teamed with silver bridesmaid dresses this would look fabulous.



On to the groom. A buttonhole with eucalyptus, pine and red berries in the natural style so popular at the moment.



Or how about the gorgeous red rose? Nothing else to add just a few dark green leaves and a loop or three of bear grass, simplicity is key.


On to the tables.

Don't want your theme to go too red? How about bringing in some orange! This low cylinder bowl is simply gorgeous with orange gerbera, red carnations, ranunculus and mixed foliage. A stunning addition to any table.



Or keep it very simple. Add a tray, some bottles, a candle or two, a few sprigs of foliage and red berries. Add gold cutlery and there you go a table fit for a classy wedding breakfast.


Add in a bowl and a few red blooms to ring the changes if you have lots of tables for a splash of colour.


Looking for taller displays? These candelabras are the same basic frame. One has the stunning crystal chimneys which will (when lit) throw sparkles across your venue or leave those off and have taper candles and a flower ball to adorn your guest tables.


Wanting sparkle but lower design? How about these crystal gem fish bowls? On their own with a candle or they could take a posy of flowers, say the bridesmaids bouquets        

The ceremony table display shouldn't miss out. This blue winter display adds a twist to Christmas but with the seasonal spruce and holly foliage it sure won't disappoint.


Or go back to the traditional red and green theme. Lots of lush gerberas with roses and berries and winter mixed foliage.
Use these during the ceremony and ask your venue to transfer to the top table and reuse.


Back to your guests.
Having a black tie winter theme? Small black martini vases filled with ice stones, snake grass straws and an ivory rose display would get the nod from James Bond I am sure.



Hurricane vases come in all sizes, these are quite large but filled with an oversize candle and winter foliage and berries they won't take up too much room on your table.



Team those with these taller martini vases to draw your eye through the venue and add in some WOW factor.
These were filled with gerbera, amaryllis, roses and hypericum berries




Have these designs given you enough inspiration? We have plenty more flowery ideas for you, book a consultation and we can chat through your ideas and make a few suggestions to achieve your perfect look.

Christmas isn't too far away so don't delay book today!
(OR if you are a Christmas 2018 bride come along anyway and fine tune your ideas, it will soon be here too!)
