covered in organza and with a front garland of foliage and 
bunches of various types of small daffodils and narcissus.

Spring Themed Wedding

Helen’s decided to use spring in her favour and used all seasonal flowers – A lovely mix 
of narcissus and daffodils with a few white roses.
The brides bouquet was a traditional teardrop shape with the white roses and an 
assortment of white, cream and pale yellow narcissus and small daffodils.

Not wanting any foliage this was a tightly packed flower design and the narcissus gave 
off a lovely scent.

All the bridesmaids carried a hand tie posy of bright yellow daffodils. As these are 
sappy flowers the stems had to be completely bound up with ribbon and Helen decided 
to continue the yellow theme.

elegant at the same time.  We chose an assortment of classic and 
seasonal flowers (April) with roses (spray and bloom), Phalaenopsis 
orchids, lilac, stocks, calla lilies with asparagus fern.

scent was gorgeous.

‘posy’ part below. One colour in varying shades needn’t be bland, 
using different sizes and shapes gives interest to the design.
