Pastel green, pink and ivory wedding party flowers

F & J chose a fabulous colour mix for their summer wedding. Flower mix was largely up to me in the  wedding colours of pastel green, pink and ivory.

The bride requested a small compact teardrop style bouquet. This was packed with gorgeous blooms of peony, roses, stocks, ammi, eustoma, alstroemeria and carnations and mint foliage.

Beautiful peony and sweet avalanche roses

Green carnations and eustoma buds  and mint add in pastel green

The two bridesmaids carried a hand tie posy of the same flower mix as the bride

The flower girl carried a silver heart wand with a small corsage of rose, eustoma and alstro buds

The bridal party flowers all ready boxed to be presented to the bride.

The groomsmen all wore a similar buttonhole in the fashionable country style.

A single ivory rose with alstro and eustoma florets tied with pastel green ribbon

Groomsmen buttonholes ready for presentation

The Mother of the bride and groom both wore a lapel corsage in a mix of the flowers from the bride's bouquet

This was a mid June wedding and flowers are perfect for a British summer wedding.

Wedding bouquets fit for summer brides

Today we take a look at summer wedding bouquets. 

Now this was hard to narrow down in photos as the main wedding season is still summer so we have had many designs and flowers over the years. These are some of my favourites, there are so many more

Mixed summer bouquets look fabulous and can smell oh so sweet. (Please don't forget scent on your day). Here we have gorgeous roses, wax flower, eustoma and foliage

Our most popular bouquet by far this last 12 months, ivory and pink roses with gyp, bruin, eucalyptus and senecio. A lovely pretty bouquet with the classic rose at it's heart.

Another take on the rose is to team with peony (when in season) and daisies. 

Or add peonies too roses, spray roses, sweet peas and hydrangeas for a sweet summer bouquet.

Love roses? Keep it simple with roses in two shades and mini spray roses and gyp.

Not a lover of gyp, keep to just the roses.

Or mix one colour of rose with gyp and foliage

or just gyp.

Love Sunflowers? We can get varieties suitable for bouquets so you are not overwhelmed with the size.

Wanting to go blue for summer? Hydrangeas teamed with roses and thistles looks fabulous.

Or an all summer mix in shades of blue, Nigella, Cornflower, Scabious, and foliage.

For a brighter version add in white eustoma to the mix and a shower style hand tie for a relaxed summer ceremony.

These next few remind me of a sweet shop, all delicious goodies to pick from, what will you choose?

Peonies, roses, wax flowers and carnation;

Eustoma, roses, freesia and gyp;

Or genera, roses, daisies, bouvardia, jasmine and freesia?

Perfect for a daisy lover, cute bundles for your bridesmaids

or for a yellow theme add in Craspedia.

Perfect pastels of summer blooms fit for a country style ceremony

or for a more glamorous feel add in gorgeous ivory roses and viburnum heads with jasmine

or for a purple lover we have roses, eustoma, freesia and carnations

or add in some green blooms for an on trend day. (Greenery is colour of the year)

Love lavender? Go all out with a bouquet full of this quintesstional English summer flower.

Another gorgeous style for the summer bride having a traditional style wedding with the full shower bouquet.

Summer bouquets

 Summer: Can you remember if we had one last year? Here to remind us all of some sun are some fabulous summer bouquets. All again loved by their respective brides, and all pink! There are other colours available but these all jumped out at me from my photos as typical sunny bouquets.
Above: A mix of country garden just picked blooms. Included are roses, freesia, September flowers, Ammi, Astrantia, and stocks with ferns and grasses.

 A bridesmaids bouquet of Sweet Williams, Freesia, Stallion Chrysants and germini. I know some of these flowers will be frowned upon by some but they do create a gorgeous small budget friendly bouquet.

 A hand tie neat posy of roses, bouvardia and eustoma with eucalyptus foliage.

 Another summer mix bouquet. Freesia, Roses, Stocks, Sweet peas, bupleurum and ruscus foliage.

These roses are gorgeous. Pink Colombian garden roses, very full and sweetly scented make for a very simple yet very striking bouquet.

I don't get to create many shower bouquets as you have all gone modern with the hand-ties but this is one of my personal favourites. White eustoma makes up the 'shower' with white roses and pink sweet peas filling the 'posy' part. Add in lots of wispy bear grass to make a stunning design.
