Purple, Yellow and Ivory wedding flowers

Purple, Yellow and Ivory wedding flowers

Comment   

Last Saturday was the wedding of S & R. This was a last minute wedding after their original supplier pulled out. S rang me and talked through her immediate disappointment and asked if I could help her out. The date was available and we booked an appointment to go through all her options. She more or less booked then and there and was more than happy with the process and quote thereafter.

I absolutely loved the colours! I love the pales and pastels but just occasionally a brighter more unusual colour comes in and it really helps keeps flowers interesting. (And I love love purple!)

Purples with yellow and ivory, lots of lovely freesia, purple eustoma, yellow sol and ivory roses, with a few David Austin Patience for an added punch of scent.

Lots of foliage was required including herbs. Pistachio, Myrtle, Rosemary and ferns were used in the bouquets.

The scent from all these bouquets was sensational. (Even for someone working with them all day.)

with a fabulous half flower crown of sol and herbs

The four bridesmaids carried posies similar to the bride's bouquet but without the purple eustoma.

The groom wore a natural style buttonhole with yellow freesia, sol, purple eustoma and ivory spray roses, with myrtle and thyme and Rosemary.

His best man wore a similar design

while the other groomsmen wore a single eustoma bloom with sol and a mix of herb foliage.

The Mother of the Bride wore a gorgeous corsage of a mix of flowers from the bride's bouquet including a lush David Austin rose and ivy foliage.

The Mother of the Groom wore a slightly different design of the smaller flowers, herbs and fern.

The other special guests were presented with a single ivory rose with gyp and twine bound stems.

We always deliver the buttonholes and corsages on presentation boards and can, if requested, label them all so the right design goes ton the right person. Remember you won't be there, or are busy getting ready, make life easy for your guests and you won't be bothered with the small stuff.

Our bouquets for the bridal party are laid in boxes filled with stuffing, paper and a final layer of acid free tissue paper.

Do you love these bouquets? Want this colour combination or another unusual theme? We can help out. Your colours, your day. Don't let anyone say a combination can't/shouldn't be created. Your personality should shine out and if you are a bright person your colours shouldn't be pale and pastel!

I am happy to talk through any colour combos for your wedding. Get in touch today to start working towards your dream flowers.

Pink Wedding bouquets

Pink Wedding bouquets

Comment   

Our look at colour in wedding bouquets continues with Pink.

Pink is once again a very popular choice but there are so many tones and shades baby pink, rose, fuchsia, watermelon, strawberry, raspberry, cerise, hot pink and more.

A lot of pinks will tone together and in many ways a few shades of pink will make the overall look of your wedding blend together. Do bear in mind if you stick to one shade it will be difficult to match exactly with everything; even different fabric in the same colour may give a different shade when all set up. So a few tones/shades will make your life easier.

Through these photos there is a range of flowers, by no means exhaustive, but it will hopefully give you and idea on varieties and colours out there.

We start with the popular gerbera, it comes in many shades and tones but this cerise variety is stunning. You could go all oner colour with these (and add in some bling!)

and then go mixed with ivory for your maids.

Two shades of pink with ivory will look lovely if your maids are in different shades

or for the lighter pink lovers here the light pink and ivory gerbera are teamed with pink roses.

Pale pink gerbera with single peonies for a smaller bridal bouquet

and the bridesmaids were gerbera, freesia, sweet Williams and stallion flowers.

Calla lily also have a few shades in pink, this is one of the best, Garnet Glow. Differing shades through the flower adds texture as well as colour.

For a winter wedding the cute Cyclamen has many pink varieties and is highly scented as a welcome addition.

For a glamorous wedding team a pink garden rose with pink throated cymbidium flowers.

Or use Phalaenopsis orchids with raspberry middles for a modern style bouquet.

Lilies come in many shades but some of the larger flowers may be too big for a standard size bouquet, but you could use a flower or two if using in other designs. This is a small shower bouquet of asiatic lily, roses and eustoma all in pale/mid pink.

Pale garden roses on their own create an elegant posy

Or for a softer look pink and ivory roses with pink feathers mixed in.

Pale pink roses, ivory roses and spray roses

For a hint of darker pink these Sweetheart roses are perfect.

When in season Tulips have gorgeous shades from very pale to purples

A popular choice of flowers, gerbera, roses and hydrangea taking you through from bright to pale all in one bouquet.

For a more raspberry/coral pink these roses and peonies are lovely, always looking good teamed with blue.

A seasonal summer mix of different shades, stocks, roses, spray roses, astrantia, larkspur and sweet peas.

Peonies, roses, spray roses, sweet peas in a tighter posy style

Add in white for a lighter look

Ivory roses, freesia with pink roses and bridal gladioli

Or go all white with a hint of pink

If going with lots of the same flower add in a pop of colour to draw the eye through the design, roses, freesia and spray carnations

Or if having lots of texture lots of the same shade will look gorgeous. White freesia, ivory stocks, pink roses, sweet peas and eustoma

For even more examples and to see whole weddings in pink, search labels - Colour:Pink.....

There will be lots of options and inspiration for you.

If you would like to discuss your pink colour wedding (or any other colour for that matter) please book a consultation soon to start your wedding flower journey.
