Gyp and thistle wedding

Gyp and thistle wedding

Comment   

A lovely gyp based wedding from a while ago that got missed on the blog.

A slight twist on the usual gyp bouquet for the bride with added blue thistles and trails of ivy to add movement to the design as you walk down the aisle.

The bridesmaids each carried a posy of gyp with added shoestring ribbon trails.

The lovely flower girl carried a basket of gyp and thistles decorated with satin burgundy ribbon and cute bows.

The bride also wore gyp in her hair, and we provided 6 wired sprigs so the hair dresser could attach.

The groom wore a single thistle head with trig of gyp and and ivy leaf as his buttonhole.

While the rest of the groomsmen wore a single thistle hard and ivy leaf. All stems were bound with twine.

The ladies wore a corsage of gyp. The bride had asked for an elongated shape rather than the usual round bunch. We added white ribbon around the stems and a cute bow.

Buttonholes at the ready for delivery.

We also provided thank you flowers for the speeches

and a single table display for the wedding breakfast table. This included white lily, roses, gyp, and seasonal foliage.

Another intimate wedding party we created flowers for. Whatever size of your day we can style your flowers and deliver to your venue on the wedding morning.

If you love what we do, book a consultation to discuss your flowers soon, and let us take you on a flower adventure

Red rose and white freesia wedding flowers

Red rose and white freesia wedding flowers

Comment   

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.

Yellow wedding bouquets

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.

Today we are back on our series of colour for your bouquet and are featuring Red flowers.

Now red isn't just red, there are many shades from Rose red, ruby, cherry, wine, scarlet, crimson and burgundy.

The most common and romantic of them all is the red rose. Seen by many as the must have red flower, it comes in all shades from bright pillar box red to dark crimsons and burgundy.

Team with the ever popular gyp

or add in ivory roses and berries for a winter feel.

For a 50's inspired day add in lots of asparagus fern

or for a glamorous style red roses en masse with lots of lush dark green leaves and bear grass swirls.

Team dark crimson roses with blush roses if you don't like red and white/ivory together.

Freesia make excellent partners with red roses, although red freesia tend to be more on the red/orange spectrum.

Red roses with ivy and gyp and added sparkle diamante.

For a darker look in autumn we have beautiful dahlia (these come in many shades of red) team with lily, orchids and roses with lots of seasonal foliage.

For a posy style red dahlia, roses and calla lily styled with thistle and eucalyptus.

Roses and gyp are another favourite, these are a beautiful scarlet shade

Or scarlett roses with ivory calla.

Red can be added not just with flowers but berries too.

Dark red anthurium with dark red gerbera and white lily make a striking shower bouquet

Or red and blush roses with berries and amaranthus and lots and lots of eucalyptus in a beautifully full over arm design. 

Found on Pinterest, a guide to some other fabulous red flowers suitable for bouquets.

If you are having a red theme, let us help you choose the perfect blooms. We don't have many brides choose all red but we do have many more options through the seasons for you to choose from. Be different and be bold! Choose a fire colour to brighten your winter wedding or stand out amongst the pastel and whites of your peers summer weddings.
