Yellow wedding bouquets

Yellow wedding bouquets

Comment   

Thursday means it is colour day and today we look at ways to have a yellow themed bouquet.

Yellow is getting more popular over the years as bride's are wanting 'something different' and going for more vibrant colours.

We start off with a spring favourite of mine, the humble daffodil. Some florists won't entertain this flower because of the sap, but treated right and prepared well it won't be a problem. These bride and bridesmaid posies looked fabulous against navy dresses.

Love narcissus? Go with a shower bouquet of scented spring loveliness with a few ivory roses to tone down the yellow.

Another spring bouquet, this is gorgeous yellow double tulips, white hyacinths and cream roses, another scented posy.

Love tulips? a long posy of mixed white and yellow blooms are perfect for a spring wedding .

For a bright May wedding what about this gorgeous posy? Yellow lily, tulips and chrysanthemums with fern.

Or maybe you are a gerbera fan? These cute posies of gerbera and white september daisies and fern

or just gerbera are perfect for your maids.

For a summer wedding you can't go wrong with bright yellow sunflowers!

Team either with a cloud of gyp

or go with dark green foliage to set off the blooms.

Sunflowers and daisies are another popular choice.

For your smaller maids how about a single sunflower bloom?

Love daisies?White chrysants, September daisy and Chamomile mixed in with yellow sol and spray roses makes a pretty summer bouquet.

Chamomile daisy with craspedia is perfect for a light posy for your maids

add in green succulents for a modern twist on your bouquet.

Cute craspedia posies for the little ones to carry.

For a glamorous bouquet try yellow calla lily and craspedia with ivory roses.

For a more formal day a teardrop bouquet of yellow roses, white freesia and if a hint of blue is required triteleia flowers with fern.

A classic posy of ivory and gold roses with Veronica, stephanotis and foliage.

Or a mass of yellow roses with a collar of deep glossy green foliage and wild bear grass

Roses and freesia an old but classic combination for a wedding.

Modern colour combinations, purple and yellow with lots of herbs for a scented posy for the maids

and bride

Same colours, no foliage, a cleaner style with roses, gerberas, eustoma, september daisy and trachelium.

add in blue to the mix also works, yellow roses, purple calla, blue hydrangea.

Are you having a wedding around the colour yellow? Having a secondary colour? Let us help you to decide on the flowers. Hopefully this post has given you lots of inspiration for this often overlooked colour. Be bright, be bold, perfect for a spring wedding (lots of spring flowers are yellow) or for a summer do there will be lots of summer sunshine (even if it does be a typical British summer day).

Book in for a consultation and let us walk you through the planning of your flowers.

Branston Hall Wedding flowers

Continuing our look at local venues, today we feature Branston Hall. We have set up here many times over the years, unfortunately photos have got lost in time, and we haven't been back as regularly as we would like. A fabulous venue with different set ups for the size of your day.

A few of the more recent set up we have styled.

The ceremony table placed in the centre of the back wall with the lovely mirror behind will be the focus of proceedings. A gorgeous long and low design in your style and wedding colours makes the perfect addition to your vows.

Fram that with our lovely bay trees, dressed to match your colours, whatever colour you choose.

The view on signing the register.

Bay trees make perfect additions to the entrance or start of the aisle

For you guest tables, the ceiling isn't particularly high and we have more often than not created low designs for these tables.

Beautiful striking fishbowls of blue flowers and a candle for lighting as the day turns to the after party.

Gorgeous country crates can be filled with all sorts of prettiness.

Keep it simple with gibers in a short lily vase

or add to an oversized fishbowl for a dramatic design.

Small flower balls on lily vases add height to the tables without being over powered in the room.

We have many more suggestions for your ceremony or reception set up and would love the chance to talk you through the options.

If you are getting married here or any similar venue please get in touch to discuss starting your flowery journey with us.

Autumn inspired wedding bouquets

Autumn inspired wedding bouquets

Comment   

As the weather has taken an autumnal turn, I thought we would continue our look at seasonal bouquets. You can see spring flowers here and summer bouquets here.

Lots of flowers are available all year but these ideas are to give you inspiration for each season.

This gorgeous teardrop bouquet would be perfect for an autumn wedding, beautiful lilies, mango calla lily, roses and seasonal berries. The colours were to go with a gold styled wedding, perfect for autumn.

If you love roses, this small posy of dusky lilac and ivory roses with gold carnations, gyp and foliage imperfect for the relaxed country bride or her maids.

A more vibrant wedding could have a mix of seasonal anemone, mostly available in jewel colours.

This bouquet I made for an autumn wedding fair and it received lots of attention. Coral and ivory roses with peach carnations, calla lily and dusky hydrangea.

Our most popular bouquet is perfect for autumn roses, brunia, seeded eucalyptus, senecio and this time with added thistle.

Maybe you want seasonal colours too. These bouquets were from a late autumn wedding and were stunning against the wine coloured dresses.

Large overarm bridal bouquet with dahlia, lily, orchids, roses and loads and lots of scented eucalyptus.

The bridesmaids carried posies of calla lily, roses, thistle, dahlia and eucalyptus.

Another vibrant wedding of cerise and orange gerbera with red spray roses

or roses and gerbera and lots of grasses, ting ting and corn for an autumn country wedding.

Callas come in many gorgeous colours and are stunning in autumn. From dark purple flowers teamed with white ostrich feathers and silver ting ting for a glitzy day

to dark purple, and two toned flowers with foliage for a more relaxed day.

Are you a foliage lover like me? These bouquets were for a styled shoot and the brief was foliage with a hint of colour.

I loved this day, the setting was stunning and the whole set up was my kind of day.

A bridal bouquet of lashing of eucalyptus, with a few amaranthus, and roses. Makes a lovely swishing sound when you walk and the movement means the scent really comes out of the foliage, win win!!

A rose lover? Roses come in hundreds of shades, these are some of the gorgeous autumnal ones. Bright coral, coral and cream all look stunning together, but there are so many more.

An autumn come winter style, roses, cyclamen (highly scented) and thistles for a blue themed day.

Or perhaps you love gerbera? Again lots of colour choice, and many two toned varieties now available.

Another favourite bouquet of mine, lots of foliage with seasonal coloured gerbera and berries.

Back to call lily, Mango callas with feathers and dark foliage loops perfect for your maids to carry

and perhaps you want a more traditional style bouquet?

A shower design using calla, roses, eustoma and agapanthus.

A beautiful bouquet for a gold themed wedding.

Or if you prefer your colours a little brighter

All white weddings can look stunning against the darker days. The gorgeous bloom incurved chrysants are surrounded by lots of small headed roses and then with a collar of feathers.

Too white? Roses with Rosemary, cones and teasels, keeping the colour white but adding in seasonal flavour.

Or for a late summer/autumn wedding go bright and bold with the lovely sunflower.

I hope these have inspired your flower choices and what you may like to carry down the aisle.

There are many many more choices and flowers so to talk through your options please get in touch with your wedding date and book a consultation today.
