It was a real pleasure to be asked to provide this gorgeous summer mix of flowers for the weekend's wedding of K & J's.
The bride chose lovely nude and pale pink roses, pale green eustoma, white astrantia, pink spray roses and thalspi and eucalyptus foliage.
The beautiful bouquet of lushness.
The stems were bound lightly with lace over hessian to give a natural loose bunch feel to the bouquet.
The bridesmaids all carried bouquets of gyp.
(I'm real sorry for the photos, so many came out blurred, these are the best of the bunch!!)
Three adult bridesmaids and a small posy for the flower girl.
Bride bouquet together with a bridesmaid and flower girl.
The groom wore a natural style buttonhole of a selection of flowers from the bridal bouquet (as per tradition)
The groomsmen wore gyp buttonholes with a hessian wrap to match the bridesmaid flowers (another tradition)
The ladies of the wedding party wore corsages of a pink and nude rose with other blooms from the brides bouquet.
Groom and groomsmen buttonholes ready for delivery
and the ladies too.
If going to the same venue, ladies and gents buttonholes are usually separated so they can go to the respective main getting ready area without any fuss.
We were asked to provide a small top table long and low for the sweetheart table at the venue.
Again a lovely mix of flowers from the bride's bouquet.
The lovely sweetheart top table at Cleatham Hall.
These sweetheart tables are getting very popular with my couples. Be that for family logistic reasons (parents who are divorced, with new partners, lets be honest, don't always get on) or whether just so the newly weds can spend an hour or so enjoying the day together, chatting over the wedding breakfast. Don't be afraid to bin tradition to suit you and your family set up. The day is a celebration and if setting the seating up differently helps the enjoyment flow then go ahead.
These wedding flowers are just so suitable for a relaxed set up and afternoon tea.
If you are having a similar day then we can help you style your flowers whatever the colours.
