Peach wedding bouquets

Peach wedding bouquets

Comment   

Another look at colour in bridal bouquets, focusing on peach, and all the hues from orange, coral, mango, apricot and salmon.

When talking through flower options do bare in mind the undertones to your peach colour, does it have pink tinges, yellow, orange, brown? This can vary widely and many peachy flowers will look a different shade next to a colour with opposing tones.

This gerbera wedding was a classic example. The bride wanted to match to her coral sashes and bridesmaid dresses. I chose many varieties and nothing seemed to work. In the end I gave a sample of fabric to my supplier who came up with a perfect match. Just talking colour tones is really difficult, seeing the colour really does help.

A more orange tone with these gorgeous roses, holly and berries for an autumnal look.

Or a pinky peach with another gorgeous rose, along with ivory roses and freesia, Rosemary, ferns and salal for a more elegant style.

For a Mary Poppins themed wedding lots of ruffles, lace and pearls, with Miss Piggy roses, a coral and ivory roses.

A structured teardrop design jam packed with roses from dark coral, lighter coral, peach and pale pink add in a few berries and heather and voila!

A different take on a rose packed bouquet, this time a hand tie. Softer brown/peach, cream/peach and a vibrant roses surrounded with fern.

Soft yellow peach roses amongst a cloud of gyp. 

A pastel bouquet showing peach and pink can work very well together

Or perhaps you are more vibrant? Orange and cerise pink gerberas with burgundy roses and foliage

A bridesmaid bouquet of peach lily, berries, stocks, darker alstroemeria, ivory veronica and phalaenopsis orchid to compliment

the bridal shower bouquet of similar flowers.

Calla lily have some lovely shades too.

These are mango calla teamed with ostrich feathers and dark foliage.

For a pretty style this bridal bouquet of peach calla, Miss Piggy rose, apricot carnation, eustoma and white hydrangea hits the spot.

The bridesmaid bouquet had alstroemeria instead of calla lily.

I hope this has given you inspiration for your peach coloured wedding bouquet. For more in-depth look at the weddings above search by colour under labels for the different shades. 

For more guidance please book a consultation where we can talk through the shades and tones you are using and come up with some flower varieties to suit.

Gyp wedding flowers

A lovely gyp wedding I had the honour of creating a couple of weeks ago. Another bride who I have never met! All consulting had been achieved over email, passing photos she liked and talking colours.

The bridal bouquet was gorgeous sweet avalanche roses interspersed through a cloud of gyp.

The two bridesmaids each carried a posy of cloud of gyp

the three lovely bouquets together.

The groomsmen buttonholes were also little posies of gyp.

The service was to be held at Buckminster church where alternate pews were decorated with more posies of gyp and long tailed organza bows.

Grooms eye view towards his brides entrance.

The lovely barn at Buckminster is a venue I hadn't visited before but is a gorgeous space for a wedding reception.

The bride had bought these vintage style jugs and asked me for gyp to fill them. Nothing regiment, just stems to fill.

The upstairs of the barn ready for the wedding breakfast

The stunning view from the barn from the large car park.

If you are looking for a small - medium sized venue to the south of our county then Buckminster Barn is worth looking at. Upstairs was set up for the reception but also has a downstairs room and plenty of space outside for fun and games which were also being set up whilst I was there.

If you want gyp for your wedding flowers and these have inspired you, please get in touch to book a consultation to get your flower planning journey started.

Look forward to hearing from you soon

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.

Today we look at colour. Most brides will pick a main colour and then one or two accent colours but you can go rainbow or no particular colour scheme, but it does help you to have a focused colour. This will usually be the colour your bridesmaids are wearing. This, along with your dress, will determine the colour and style (along with your venue) of your whole day.

We start this series of posts off with the colour Purple.

A very popular colour a few years ago, it is slightly out of favour at the minute but a favourite of mine and a lovely palette of colour to blend.

With your colouring, you don't have to stick rigid to one shade, indeed flowers always look better if a range of shades are included as long as the tones match. So with purple you have lilac, lavender, violet, mauve and plum.

So to the flowers;

Amnesia roses are a dusky/dirty lilac colour and these are with ivory roses and gyp

One of the true purple flowers eustoma. This bouquet has a mix of purple, violet, two tone and white eustoma with grasses.

The smaller version for the bridesmaid

Or you could have a tighter posy of just the flower heads. Same flowers as above, different look.
