    Bridal Bouquet.

    Sarah decided on a shower bouquet. After alot of colour sampling we chose colours to compliment both the bridesmaids dresses. We used Dark Purple Calla Lilly , Rich dark Red Roses, Purple Orchids and crystal sprays for sparkle, We used mixed foliage to accent the flowers and used bear grass to create a modern twist. Her bouquet handle was then finished off with burgandy organza ribbon  finished with crystals.

    Bridesmaids

    Her Bridesmaids ranged from Adults to a flower girl,  Adults had the same flowers and foliage in thier hand Tied Desigs but the bridesmaids had just sweet pea and orchid.

    This sumptuous valentines day wedding was a joy to create even though i was busy making other flowers for lovers on valentines day but it helped immensly by claire having artifiical flowers for the rest of her wedding- thank you claire ๐Ÿ™‚

    I was so dispaointed not to have deliverd this wedding but i was held up here due to valentines day- Darren ny husband was gven strict instructions on what to do. He was there earlier than planned and couldn’t find where claire was so he asked at the desk and after numourous phonecalls finally found her in the bridal suite, they had all been walking from their ” getting ready room” at the same time that the flowers were being delivered.

    Kerry and Ian were such a wonderful – there theme was for a beautiful spring wedding in colours of pale peach and cream Thier wedding was held at the beautiful Moat House http://www.moathouse.co.uk/ All wedding flowers were delivered here.

    Kerry had decided on a shower bouquet for her, large adult bridemsaids for her 5 bridesmaids, simple and elegant buttoholes for the wedding party and chair vases with flowers for her wedding isle.


    Our beautiful Bride was getting ready at The hotel where she was getting married and Darren my husband was luckily enough to deliver these to her personally while i was setting up thier wedding room, I was a bit miffed that i couldnt deliver these to her personally like i normally do but time was of an essence.

    The Bridal Bouquet was a beautful mix of spring flowers and roses in beautiful sand and cream colours
    I used a collection of Sand and Cream Roses; Quicksand, Vendella, Green Parrot Tulip, White Blossom, Eucalyptus with diamante in a few of the roses.

    The Matron of honour had a large bridal size hand tied bouquet with a beautful mix of spring flowers and roses in beautiful sand and cream colours same as the bridal bouquet
    I used a collection of Sand and Cream Roses; Quicksand, Vendella, Green Parrot Tulip, White Blossom, Eucalyptus with diamante in a few of the roses. pale pink spray roses.

    The Bridesmaids also had a large bridal size hand tied bouquet with a beautful mix of spring flowers and roses in beautiful sand and cream colours same as the bridal bouquet
    I used a collection of Sand and Cream Roses; Quicksand, Vendella, Green Parrot Tulip, White Blossom, Eucalyptus with diamante in a few of the roses. pale pink spray roses.

    The Moms corsages were Quicksand roses with a diamante centre

    Over in the fabulous wedding room i was adding the beautiful glass vases filled with roses, tulip and blossom hung on with organza ribbon to the wedding chairs.
    I was told by the bride that these would be wooden chairs with no covers on so i had bit of a suprise to see them with such beautiful covers on. I had to think quick and the only solutioni could find was to tie these to the chair sashes.

    These put the finishing touches to what was an elegant room dressed in beuatiful cream and lace chair covers .

    Not updated the site for a while, and there have been quite a few weddings lately which I need to post up, but thought I’d strike whilst the iron was hot on this one! I wouldn’t usually post up pics the day of the wedding, and would wait for pics from the bride to show as well, but just had to on this one.

    I had a call from a lady early last week asking me if I could see her to talk about her wedding flowers – I asked when the wedding was and I was surprised to say the least when she replied “next Saturday”. We had the meeting, talked for an hour or so about options, and decided on a simple white and peach rose theme with hand-tied bouquets for the bride and bridesmaid, and rose buttonholes for the groom and witnesses. I just needed to match the peach rose with an offcut piece of dress that was being dropped round a few days later. Or at least I thought we had decided……

    Fast forward to Saturday, I was working in the workroom preparing for a Wedding Fayre making a hand-tied bouquet from Cappuccino and Peach Roses when hubby mentioned “those peach roses don’t look a million miles from the shade you need for next weekend wedding”, so I made a note of the rose name and thought nothing more of it.

    Monday evening came, and the bride to be came around after work, with a piece of material and a small bag of sequins and beads that were being used in her dress to incorporate into the design. I had got the bouquet ready from the wedding fayre the day before to match the peach rose, and the bride instantly changed her mind. “I want that bouquet – the design, the colour, everything”. The Cappuccino and peach roses were a perfect match to the dress material, so white and peach was no more.

    The results are shown above – I made small loops from the dress embellishments and attached them to the rose centres, and used the dress material in between the roses, and for the handles and buttonhole trim. I delivered this morning, and when the Bride to be held the bouquet against the dress, we both started crying – I’ll post further pics up of the bride and flowers at a later date!

  • Bridal Flower Mayhem

    What a few weeks itโ€™s been since my last update โ€“ things have been hectic, so this post is long overdue!
    The wedding I had on at the end of May went very well, with the weather taking a change for the better for once just in time for the Bride. It was an especially busy day for me, as we had to deliver the Bridal Party Flowers, then go and set up Church Flowers and Pew Bows, go over to the venue to set up there, and then back to the Church in time for the end of the wedding to collect the Church Flowers. As an extra surprise for the bride we then rushed the church flowers over to the venue and set them up there before the guests (and newly married couple) arrived โ€“ she was expecting us to collect them and take them home with us, but it seemed a shame for her not to get the full days benefit from them. She messaged me afterwards saying how nice, and unexpected, it was to arrive to see the large Pedestal Arrangements pride of place on the stage, just behind the Top Table and in front of the disco. The full wedding pics have been uploaded onto the relevant pages, but hereโ€™s a taster of the days theme.

    A few days later, I received a surprise of my own with a Bride whose Wedding and Venue Flowers I did last year e-mailed me to tell me her wedding (and my flowers!) had been featured in an online editorial. To say I was thrilled to have been part of this, with a mention at the end, would be the understatement of the year โ€“ I was beaming for days afterwards. You may have already seen the various Star Wars themed items on the site, all made completely from Gypsophilia (and Lego Figures!), but for the story behind the wedding and its theme, the feature can be seen in full at http://offbeatbride.com/2014/04/uk-star-wars-wedding#.U5V5UL6kDaE.facebook

    This week has been a little quieter and more down to Earth so have been busy with artificial flower orders, although I did make my first loose Nan sympathy frame, with matching loose heart for a customer that came to me after I was recommended to them by a regular client โ€“ itโ€™s always nice knowing that people like my designs enough to suggest their family and friends use me ๏Š

    Hope you all have a good weekend โ€“ Iโ€™m off to make 50 foam rose buttonholes that need to be posted tonight, get ready for the Summer Fayre at the local primary school in Clayhanger and then spend the rest of the weekend in the sun I think!
