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!)

Gerbera wedding bouquets

This was a fabulous wedding from last December. The bride wanted to embrace the seasonal colours and loves gerberas, so we combined the two.
The bridal bouquet was a lovely mix of red gerbera, roses and hypericum berries with variegated ditto foliage through and round the flowers.
There is a choice with gerbera, dark or pale centres and these red ones with black centres are certainly striking with the contrast.


Gerbera are our second favourite flower asked for, many florists won't use them, but to me they work really well for bouquets and are a lovely showy flower whatever the colour.

The bouquet stems were wrapped in a lace type ribbon and held with red pearl headed pins.


The single bridesmaid in contrast carried a white bouquet of the same flowers, gerbera, roses and berries but slightly smaller in size.



This was a simple wedding party, no buttonholes just the two bouquets and then beautiful table arrangements for the reception, which is tomorrows post.

If you love gerbera and would like to include them in any part of your wedding designs, do get in touch as we love working with them and have many ideas to inspire you.

Scroll on labels to the right and search 'Gerbera'

Red rose and white calla lily wedding

This was such a lovely wedding. 
Emma saw me at a wedding fair and after a brief chat showed me a photo of the bouquet she wanted and could I reproduce? Now every bouquet is different and each florist will make things slightly differently so I don't guarantee an exact replica but using the same flowers and foliage we will get somewhere close.

The roses needed to be RED and the callas white with dark green foliage and loops of bear grass around the edge.


The single bridesmaid, unusually carried a bouquet of calla lily. These are usually the reserve of the bride but as she was wearing a red dress these would look stunning and stand out. The same bear grass loops and a little foliage to support the flowers.


Stems bound in satin ribbon.


The beautiful bride and bridesmaid bouquets.


The groom wore a single calla lily with a red rose and grass loops to match his bride


and the ushers wore a single red rose again with loops and a little foliage.



A very relaxed and happy couple greeted me on delivery and comments of 'better than expected' make a florists day.

Red isn't everyones idea of a gorgeous wedding colour and teamed with white will have some of you running for the hills, but it does stand out and for the right setting works extremely well.

If you want a colour scheme that you are unsure of do get in touch and have a chat and we will guide you through options and probably have photos to show you.

Roses and calla lilies do come in an array of colours so these can be created in various colour schemes (just not blue!) again ask us for a consultation and we can advise.

We look forward to hearing from you soon

Red bouquet ideas

 Are you having red as your colour scheme? Red or burgundy are always a popular choice and as such red roses are very often selected.
Above, burgundy red and ivory roses with fern and gyp hand-tie.
 Roses come in various shades of red. Here we have a more scarlet red rose in a modern posy style. Roses wrapped in large leaves with added gold wire detail.

 Deep red and ivory roses with hypericum berries for a wintry feel.
Red roses again but with Skimmia and small cones for a more autumnal look.
A mass of red roses with deep green foliage and bear grass loops.
 Want a country style bouquet. Or concerned red may not go with other colours? Add in trails of ivy, purple freesias and stocks with red spray roses and germinis.
 Don't like foliage? A hand tie design of different size red roses with protea petals tied with gorgeous gold organza.
 Add a touch of pink to a red bouquet to give a lighter more interesting look. Just make sure the colours tone together.

As usual this is only a selection of what is available, please ask for more designs.
