White and cream bridal flowers with eucalyptus

Still looking back at previous weddings, this was the one and only wedding I created during the Covid hit 2020. It may seem long ago to some but this pandemic hit our wedding industry like nothing ever has and probably will again. A business which normally crates 40-50 weddings a year reduced to 1!

This one was a stunner though!!!

The wedding of R & J was the perfect blend of white and cream flowers with plenty of foliage, especially eucalyptus. 

The bridal bouquet of roses, stocks, freesia, garden roses, astilbe and eustoma with trailing eucalyptus and gorgeous senecio silver foliage. A lot of these are scented to adding a beautiful extra dimension.

R also requested some silver diamanté's to be included throughout and added to pin the cream satin ribbon in place.

The flowers and foliage lend themselves to the gorgeous country style that is still popular.

This eucalyptus was chosen as it has longer thinner leaves and usually has seed heads too.

The single bridesmaid carried a similar posy but without the trailing foliage and diamanté's.

And the two flower girls carried a small version with a couple of each flower variety and foliage

The groom and his men each wore a single rose buttonhole with a eustoma bloom,  eucalyptus leaf and seed heads, senecio leaf and a sprig of Rosemary for the traditional luck. The stems are bound in cream satin ribbon.

The mother of the bride wore a slightly fuller buttonhole and we added diamanté for a touch of glitz. 

All buttonholes are presented pinned on a board and can be labelled for ease on the day.

I always appreciate when couples send over a few professional photos of the day. Unfortunately I wasn't given their name, so if these are yours please get in touch.

The next post will be the ceremony and reception flowers from this gorgeous wedding.

Summer Pastel pink and white bridal flowers

Today I have a beautiful summer wedding that I really should have shared with you before now. This was a fabulous wedding at The Lincoln Hotel and today I will show you the bridal party blooms and displays.

V & G had chosen the colours of white, pink and champagne peach for their florals and once unloaded while they were hydrating I couldn't resist I had to take their pictures!

Beautiful Ammi, or Queen Annes Lace

The stunning oriental lilies being coaxed open

The fabulous array of blooms I was lucky enough to be creating with

and not forgetting the foliage too!

The bride decided to carry a stunning traditional shower bouquet with a mix of white oriental lilies, pink roses, Champagne stocks, eustoma, ammi and mixed foliage.

Adding a modern twist of little butterflies and loops of lily grass.

Loving the gorgeous sweet avalanche pink roses with the pure white lilies.

The side profile so you can see the beautiful champagne double eustoma along with the pink roses and lily

One of my favorite pale pink roses, Sweet Avalanche.

The bride also wore a 3/4 flower crown, to allow room for  her veil to sit.

This glorious crown matched her bouquet with champagne eustoma, pink roses, spray roses ammi and foliage.

The 3 adult bridesmaids each carried a hand tied posy of roses, eustoma, stocks, ammi and pistachio foliage. Tied with white satin ribbon.

A glorious summer mix of blooms.

The 3 flower girls each carried a silver heart shaped wand with a single rose and ammi corsage and trailing ribbons.

The groomsmen all wore matching pale pink rose buttonhole with ammi florets, pistachio foliage and lily grass loops.

The special ladies wore a traditional corsage of white eustoma flowers and foliage.

Buttonholes and corsage ready for delivery to the hotel where the co-ordinater will hand them out.

The bride's party flowers all ready for on the morning delivery. The bride's shower bouquet was a biggie so needed its own social box and instructions on unpacking.

The hotel flowers will be blogged on Monday, make sure you come back for lots more pretty from this wonderful wedding.

If you love these colours, flowers, designs and are looking for your own creations please get in touch or visit the website for more details.

Beautiful summer wedding flowers at The Coach House at Doddington Hall

The setting for this summer wedding was the fabulous Coach House at Doddington Hall.

The colours and flowers continued in theme from the bridal party (see blog post here)

The ceremony table was adorned with a semi circle design of roses, eustoma, peony, alstroemeria ands mixed foliage. This would later be added to the base of the table flowers to enhance the top table design.

The aisle chairs were fabulously decorated with small hanging hurricane vases filled with summer blooms of roses, peony ammi, stocks and foliage. All tied on with an ivory satin bow. Again to reuse and make the most of the flowers, these were transferred to the windowsills for the reception.

                             

The ceremony area all set for the bride and groom and their guests.

At the back of the ceremony room there are a couple of coffee tables and it is always lovely to pop some gorgeous blooms on here to guide the way through to the main reception area.

The guest tables were treated to our tall conical vases topped with a flower ball of mixed summer blooms. We added hydrangea to peony, roses, stocks, alstroemeria, carnations and chrysants with the mixed foliage.

Many of these flowers are scented, adding another dimension to your setting.

The wonderful Coach House set for the wedding breakfast.

We always enjoy designing and setting up our flowers at this glorious venue.

All flowers are yours to keep and we collect all hired items the next morning, usually before you have left, one less thing for you to do!

If you are getting married here, or love our designs and want to discuss options at another venue please get in touch to see how we can transform your venue with beautiful blooms.
