White rose wedding

Kelly got in touch after a recommendation from Elaine at Elsham Hall. When we met Kelly had a clear idea on flowers she wanted to have, small white roses but was open to suggestions about design. We agreed to the smaller Akito roses, some fountain grass to add in some movement and surrounding the hand-tie with a collar of pitto. Kelly also was keen to bring in colour on the stems and so we matched this to the bridesmaid dresses, navy blue.

Diamante sprigs between the roses and a brooch on the stems added a touch of glamour to the bridal bouquet.

The two bridesmaids each carried a smaller version of the brides bouquet without the diamante.

These stems were bound with ivory ribbon held in place by navy pins.

The flower girl carried a mini bouquet of 3 Akito roses with fountain grass and pitto.

The groom wore a double rose buttonhole with fountain grass and pitto while all the other members of the bridal party wore a single rose buttonhole.

Buttonholes ready to be given out.

The lovely Kelly with her two maids all excited at receiving their flowers.

Columbian Garden Roses

The flowers I had on display from The Olde Barn at Marston wedding fayre.

Close up detailing of the butterflies added to the garden rose handtie. Other items can be added such as a family broch (suitable for something old or borrowed) diamantes or pearls.

 A garden rose bouquet with deep, mid and light pink and white roses. Fountain grass and salal foliage also.

 A mixed bouquet of pink and white garden roses, freesia snowberries, anemones and assorted foliage.

 The main centre piece was a conical vase with willow branches and garden roses around the top of the vase. This can be placed on guest tables in a high ceiling room/marquee or as an alternative to a pedestal in an entrance hall/bar area.

 Gorgeous white Columbian garden roses.

 Rose pomanders were hung off the willow branches. The scent from all the roses was lovely.

 A vintage tea setting. A single rose with foliage in the tea cups and snowberries, anemones, roses, gyp and hawthorn in the tea pot. These are all available to hire. Get in touch for a quote, which will include set up and the all important clearing up the next day.

 A fabulous silver candelabra on hire from Lincolnshire lanterns with white garden roses, sedum and hawthorn with mixed foliage.



St Gluvias Church, Penryn

St Gluvias church was the setting for Sue and Daren's blessing. A gorgeous church with alot of light made a welcome sight on Friday when I arrived with the pedestals and vases. I was busy finishing off the arrangements while the wedding rehersal went ahead. Sue had decided on two pedestals at the front of the aisle, one at the back facing the doorway and 2 large vase arrangements which were to be positioned near the door. However after talking to the vicar it was decided to place these on two small tables at the back of the church. The pew ends were made and hung in position Saturday just before the service.

A simple pew end of a single white rose, fountain grass, skimmia, hypericum berries and galax leaves.

The pedestals included white oriental lilies, cream roses, germinis, eustoma and stallion chrysants with red gerberas and plenty of foliage.

The flowers behind were created by the church ladies and greatly added to the floral display.

I also added to the porch 4 bowls from the reception and two baytrees, one either side the entrance. Unfortunately I never got around to taking photos as I became involved with pinning on everyones buttonhole.

Red white and gold wedding

Flowers from the wedding of Sue and Daren. Unfortunately I was so busy with the flowers I never got round to taking any photos of the ladies holding the flowers. I have been promised some though, so keep looking.

Sue's bridesmaids, of which there were four, wore gorgeous full length gold dresses, so we decided to keep the flowers neutral. I used white roses, stephanotis and veronica, gold roses, and various foliage. They were all hand tied posies with gold ribbon wrapped around the stems.


Sue's bouquet was a trailing hand tied posy but in red and white to tone in with the dress. In this I used red roses, hypericum berries, skimmia with white cymbidium orchids, lilies, roses, veronica and stephanotis. various foliage was used including fountain grass, asparagus fern and bear grass.
