Red rose and white freesia wedding flowers

This wedding was from a while ago but never blogged. Another lovely intimate wedding with a red and white colour scheme for the flowers.
The bride chose a teardrop bouquet and I feel these work especially well with roses and freesia.
These are gorgeous Gran Prix roses with white freesia, ruscus and fern foliage.


The maid of honour carried a posy of beautiful white roses with ruscus foliage


and the bridesmaid carried a posy filled with gorgeous white freesia and foliage.


The groomsmen each wore a red rose and the groom wore a rose and freesia buttonhole to match his bride.


The ladies all had a traditional corsage of white freesia to compliment their outfits.

These are all simple designs but the flowers used create the wow factor and set against beautiful dresses will create a stunning look for you and your maids.

Pink lily wedding

On sorting through my photos, it is a long job, I came across this wedding which has never appeared on the blog.
I have had interest in this bouquet at consultations so thought I would share with you all today.

A gorgeous teardrop bouquet totally in shades of pink. The centre star is a lovely asiatic lily with diamante detailing with a mix of sweet avalanche roses and pink eustoma and ivy trails.


A glorious bouquet for a bride who loves lilies.


The bridesmaids carried a small posy of a single lily flower surrounded with pink roses and cream eustoma.


The ladies corsages were a mass of cream eustoma one with black leaves


and one with green.


The grooms buttonhole was a pink rose with eustoma flowers, ivy leaves and diamante.



We also provided the long and low for the top table created with the same flowers as the bouquets, lilies, eustoma and roses. Add in some silver grass loops to blend in with the table centrepieces.





The gorgeous top table with thrones for the happy couple at Lucarlys at Grimsby.



If you love lilies and are wanting to include them in your wedding flowers please talk to us and we can show you many more options for styling your day.

Styles of bouquets - explained

Today we are looking at the different styles of bouquets available. This doesn't cover every type just the main ones we create and every style can morph into another with tighter or looser outlines, different foliage etc
We start with the largest style which is the traditional shower bouquet. These are generally made on a holder with foam (we can wire them if you prefer) and are long and full. These were originally made as the bride's dress would be quite plain so a lovely full bouquet made up for it.
The length is your choice but the whole bouquet will be made in proportion. The overall shape is wide and flat at the top with trails at the bottom with flowers 'showering' down.
Be aware these are heavy! Full of flowers and foliage.

A lighter version of the shower. More flowers in the top half with the 'shower' being mainly bear grass and a few eustoma. Same size bouquet but half the flowers.



Here we have the cascade bouquet. Similar to the shower but a looser style and smaller in length.


Then we have the teardrop. A true teardrop is a defined shape but they can be created with a more whispy outline if you prefer.
These are smaller than above styles and are much lighter to carry although still generally made on a holder with foam. Our most popular traditional style.



You can have a mixed variety of flowers as above, or keep to roses and freesia,


or all roses with gyp.


Or this beautiful bouquet of mixed coral and peach roses.


Spring time doesn't miss out with mixed narcissus and roses.



Lilies look lovely in this style but do bear in mind larger flowers will usually mean a slightly lager bouquet.


This one is an all wired bouquet which is much lighter to carry.


Or on a foam holder with lilies, roses and eustoma.


A phalaneopsis bouquet with wire detailing, beading and a single long stem to create the drop.


Another lovely design is the overarm, not as popular as once was but still looks stunning. Best flowers for these are calla lily (shown) or gerberas. Each flower has its own space to shine. They are easy to carry with one hand as it lays over the forearm up to the elbow.



Then there is the ever popular hand tied posy. Basically a bunch of flowers tied together. This can be all in one type of flower, such as gerberas,



Or calla lilies, or a mix of two or more varieties. Most flowers will work in this style but some will give a different outline.


They can be compact and flat or looser styled and domed.





The stems can be bound like this 3/4 with ribbon/organza/twine/hessian


just with a small tying point or with a bow or trailing ribbon.





With foliage or without


These next few are taller in height rather than domed or flat


with a focal flower as a stem of orchid


or a delphinium



Then we go on to trailing hand ties. These are the modern version of teardrops. You can add a trail with flowers 


or foliage



These are hand ties but could also be carried over the arm, long trailing bouquets full of movement when you walk down the aisle.




I hope these have given you a small insight into the different styles we offer. There is a lot of choice out there and it is helpful if you have some idea on which style you prefer.
There is a whole list of which styles go with which style dress and yes some do look better with a certain style than another, but if you have your heart set on one style then go for it. The flowers used and overall look of the whole set up will blend everything together. The day is about you two and your choices and personality not whether your style of bouquet is perfect for your dress.
For example, a full skirt ballgown dress will look fabulous with a large shower bouquet but equally I have seen brides rock this outfit with a single rose and ribbon trails.
The choice is yours.

We are here to help and advise so you make the right choices for you.

Blush and Ivory rose wedding

Alice had a really good idea of what she wanted for her bouquet and looking through my designs she saw something similar. A teardrop bouquet of roses. We adapted it slightly with Quicksand and Avalanche roses with added sprigs of gyp and ivy for foliage.


Quicksand roses are a gorgeous blush come Mother of Pearl type colour.


The bridesmaids both carried a simple bouquet of gyp.


Hessian was bound around the stems to go with the country wedding style.


Groomsmen wore a single ivory rose with sprigs of gyp and ivy leaves.


Alice had decorated most of the inside of her marquee reception with artificial flowers but her mum wanted to surprise her with a fresh flower archway for the entrance.


This was covered with locally sourced foliage including ivy and decorated with Quicksand and Ivory roses and gyp bunches.



The top had a lovely organza bow



The reception marquee was in the grounds of the wonderful Hackthorn Hall, a place I had not been to before but the village has family connections so it was lovely to see even on such a gray day.


I was also asked to provide a couple of thank you bouquets to give during the speeches in wedding colours.



If you are looking for a venue to hold your marquee reception then do have a look at Hackthorn Hall. They have just launched a new website and contact details.

If you like any of these designs and would like them to discuss how they would work for your wedding please contact us to book a consultation.

Are you looking for an archway? We have two styles the above metal arch or a rustic pole square frame. Both can be rented and covered in a variety of ways to suit your budget. Please ask us for more details.
