Vintage inspired gyp bouquets

 A lovely vintage inspired bouquet of gyp and white carnations. The bride wanted to carry something simple and neat but didn't like roses. Carnations are often overlooked as a wedding flowers but go well with a vintage theme. The stems were tied and bound with white lace with a small bow.
 The bridesmaids each carried a small bouquet of gyp
 again tied together with white lace.

White rose wedding with extra bling

Rebecca's wedding was another lovely rose affair with added bling. Another bride who had been recommended by Elaine of Elsham Hall and with a clear idea of what she wanted.
Her bouquet was a mix of white roses in various sizes, Avalanche, Akito and spray with a diamante display over one third.
The diamante pieces were the main focal point of the bouquet.

The stems were wrapped in lace.
The matron of honor carried a Carmen rose design with lace looped around the stem and with a bow tucked underneath the flower.
Carmen roses look fabulous if you are looking to carry a single flower design.

The bridesmaid carried a small posy of white roses with bear grass loops and more lace.


The groomsmen buttonholes of freesia, eustoma and wax with lace around the stems.

Blue hydrangeas, bluebells, Forget me nots, Muscari and roses

This was a fabulous wedding from May last year. One of my favourites to design and create with a lovely mix of seasonal flowers. Susie (bride) wanted a seasonal bouquet of mainly blue flowers and we narrowed the choice down to Forget me nots, Muscari, Hydrangeas and Scillia (bluebells) with spray roses and eucalyptus. All these flowers work really well together in a hand tie design. The stems were bound with ivory ribbon and a lace overlay held in place with pearl headed pins.
Brides Bouquet
The three adult bridesmaids carried a similar bouquet with added larger roses to replace the hydrangers and to add in some ivory to stand out against their blue dresses.

Grooms Buttonhole
Rose and Muscari buttonhole
Susie requested lots of varying buttonholes for the groom, best man and ushers. The grooms was a single ivory rose with hydrangea florets, a scillia head, a couple of muscari and sprig of eucalyptus and fountain grass.
The ushers wore a single ivory rose with muscari, ruscus and fountain grass.
Also different designs for the ladies. All were labelled up on the day with the persons name and relationship to the couple. This saved any worry for the bride and ensured all wore the correct flower.
