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.

Burgundy and white bridal flowers

Bridal posies can be whatever you want them to be.
This bride was clear on using white roses and foliage with 3 deep red dahlia and a few pine cones. A compact design yet with a messy outline, not neat and tidy.
We love brides who embrace foliage. The bridal bouquet used seeded eucalyptus



while the four bridesmaid bouquets had asparagus ferns densiflorus and setaceus teamed with the eucalyptus and white roses.


The 7 groomsmen each wore a single white rose with asparagus and eucalyptus leaves.


A small yet elegant wedding party whom we are always happy to design flowers for.
We don't have a minimum spend for your flowers as we believe anyone should be able to have gorgeous flowers whatever their budget or size of wedding.

White roses and eucalyptus wedding flower bouquets and buttonholes

On one of the hottest days of the summer we created wedding flowers for a sophisticated yet simple wedding. The brief; white roses and plenty of foliage!
This bride wanted a handful of gorgeous white roses in her bouquet surrounded by trailing eucalyptus to give a waterfall effect.
Six gorgeous avalanche roses with lots of populus seeded eucalyptus created the perfect bouquet. The stems were bound with material off cuts from the bride's dress.



The 4 bridesmaids each carried a dainty posy of eucalyptus with a few sprigs of gyp for colour.



The bridal bouquets all ready for delivery to the bride


The 11 groomsmen all wore a simple white rose with eucalyptus sprigs and stems bound in white twine.


Groomsmen buttonholes ready for delivery to the reception venue where the boys are staying.



This bride already had a clear vision of what she wanted for her flowers and with a little help to fine tune these we made her flower/foliage dreams come true.
Never be afraid to state what you want for your flowers, should you know, we can either go straight with what you want or if not quite possible, for some reason, we will talk through alternatives to achieve a happy compromise.

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!)

Purple and Lilac wedding flowers

I don't know who was more excited about these flowers Kelly or myself! It is always a real pleasure to work with a bride that truly wants you to create her flowers for her very special day.
The colour scheme Kelly chose was the popular purple, lilac and ivory with some silver thrown in as well. The brides bouquet was a mixture of purple eustoma, lilac freesia, blue eryngiums and ivory roses with eucalyptus foliage. All this was surrounded with a silver aluminium collar.
Her two bridesmaids carried a similar but smaller version of the brides bouquet.
The flower girl carried a silver heart wand with an ivory rose and thistle flowers.
