Pastel daisy wedding flowers

The gorgeous pastel coloured daisy wedding of Fiona's is from April. She had a good idea of the main flowers she wanted to include, daisies, and the colours, chosing 3 differing colours for the bridesmaids. It was left to me to bring all this together using the styles of bouquets required. Fiona chose a large trailing style bouquet but in the natural hand tied form all tied together with a large bow.


Included in it were daisies, gerberas, freesia, bouvardia, roses, carnations and spray roses with eucalyptus and jasmine trails.


The 3 bridesmaids each carried a posy of daisies tied together with a bow.


They wore pastel pink, green and yellow dresses.


The 4 main groomsmen wore a buttonhole of a pale yellow gerbera with daisy heads and eucalyptus in a natural style tied with ribbon


The other ushers each wore a buttonhole of a small bunch of daisies.


The mum's each wore a corsage of a mix from the bride's bouquet. A gerbera, rose, spray roses, freesia and bouvardia with foliage.


One of the buttonhole presentation boards. These can be labelled if you provide us with the names of each guest.



The flower girls each wore a simple circlet of daisy heads.


These are just the wedding party flowers, more to follow tomorrow when we take a look at the ceremony and reception flowers at Doddington Hall.

If you have a specific flower you would like to include in your wedding or have a good idea of what style you want to achieve please get in touch. I can work with you if you know exactly what you want or if you have no clue where to start I just need your time to talk through options.

We are taking bookings for consultations between now and Christmas or book in early for January to kick start your plans. Call us today!

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.

Ivory and green wedding flowers

This may be a little later than promised but here is the first wedding of 2013.
A lovely spring colour combination of ivory and green. The main flowers were germini with other spring flowers.

 The brides bouquet consisted of ivory germini, freesia and hyacinths with green viburnum, bupleurum and loops of china grass. A light collar of salal was added with the stems bound in ivory ribbon with green shoestring ribbon criss-crossed around diamante pins.
 The 3 bridesmaids carried a similar bouquet of mainly germini, freesia, bupleurum and china grass. Diamante pins were added to the centres of the germinis and the stems were bound with the same ribbon as the bridal bouquet.
 The little flower girl carried a silver heart wand with a single germini and china grass loops.
 The guys were each given a single germini with china grass loops as buttonholes.
The mums wore a similar design but one was a lapel corsage (above) and the other a wrist corsage (below)
These were of the same flower content as the brides bouquet.

Orchid and germini wedding flowers

 Cheryl's wedding flowers were based around the colours of the bridesmaids dresses, burgundy and ivory. She wanted something unusual for her bouquet but liked gerberas for her maids. We eventually settled on a hand-tie of phalaenopsis orchids, red lips, and ivory germini with a nest of burgundy wire and beads. A single stem of orchids trailed down from the design.
 The older bridesmaids, wearing burgundy, carried a hand-tie of a single burgundy germini surrounded by ivory germini and a collar of aspidistra leaves. The stems are bound with burgundy ribbon.
 The smaller bridesmaids, wearing ivory, carried a smaller bouquet with the reverse colours.
 The groom wore a single ivory germini buttonhole with burgundy wire detailing.
 The grooms-men wore a single ivory germini buttonhole.
The two mums wore a single phalaenopsis orchid with germini petals and mixed foliage.

Peony and germinis

 Jayne and Gareth first met me at The Lincoln wedding fayre and almost all of our correspondence was done via e-mail with them living 'up north'. Many e-mails were sent back and forth to get the right colour combination and flower content for their chosen main colour of aqua.
The bridal bouquet was a simple mix of baby pink germini and a very pale pink peony tied together with aqua ribbon.
 The four bridesmaids each carried a small hand-tie of a mix of seasonal flowers in baby pink and ivory including germini, freesia, sweet williams and stallion chrysants tied together with aqua ribbon.
 Jayne also wore a small slide in her hair adorned with hydrangea florets, sweet william, freesia and germini petals.
 The groom wore a traditional double buttonhole of a germini and peony taken from the brides bouquet. The foliage is salal and rosemary.
 All the groomsmen wore a single germini with a salal leaf.
 The mums each wore a corsage of freesia, sweet williams, stallion and germini petals with salal and rosemary.
 I was also asked to make a small cake topper of germini and peony.
 The lovely simple designed cake.
