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.

Clair and Carl's diamante and lace, romantic style wedding

 Clair and Carl were recommended to me through the lovely Elaine at Elsham Hall. At the consult Clare gave me an outline to the look she was trying to achieve with some photos she had kept. Diamante and sparkle were high on the agenda along with lace and the look was romantic and dreamy.
Clair chose a hand tie design which must include ivory roses and gypsophila and bling but left the rest to me. As the colour scheme was aqua and ivory we decided to add some green blooms to add depth to the bouquet. Included were Eskimo and green roses, ivory spray roses, freesia, gyp and pitto foliage with lace entwined through the flowers. Diamante brooches were added along with small spray diamante. The stems were bound with ivory satin ribbon with an over wrap of lace and pinned with diamante and a sparkle brooch.

 Clair's eldest bridesmaid had a similar but smaller bouquet without the lace and with aqua diamante.

 The younger bridesmaid had a petite bouquet of a similar design and with aqua ribbon around the stems.

 The flower girl carried a butterfly wand with aqua diamante antenna. With an ivory rose and gyp corsage and ivory and aqua ribbon trails.

 Clair wanted Carl to have a very special buttonhole. Based around spray roses with a green spray carnation, stallion chrysant blooms and lots of diamante detailing.

 The groom's men all wore a buttonhole of ivory spray roses and aqua diamante.

 The pageboys wore a small buttonhole of three spray roses and aqua diamante.

The flower girl also wore a small hair slide of a single ivory spray rose with aqua diamante and bow.
