Pale blue, peach and white wedding flowers

Pale blue, peach and white wedding flowers

Comment   

A couple of Saturday's ago I had the great pleasure of creating the flowers for G & J's wedding.

G was a customer of ours back in the old days of the shop and had been searching for me. A mutual acquaintance put is in touch, un be known to him that I was the florist she was looking for, fate does have a peculiar way of intervening. 

All of the planning took place via messenger and email, it is possible to do all of this remotely especially when the bride has a clear indication of what she wants.

The bridal bouquet was an amalgamation of two photos she sent me, the colours chosen by her. This beautiful bouquet has pale blue hydrangea, nigella, peach roses, and white scabious with senecio (silver) foliage.

The stems were bound in white lace

The bride also wore a lovely full flower crown to match her bouquet.

The 9, yes nine, bridesmaids each carried a single head of hydrangea surrounded by a cloud of gyp, the stems were bound in hessian.

All bouquets together

The bouquets boxed and ready for delivery.

The buttonholes were split. We had 4 peach and white, rose, hydrangea florets, gyp and silver leaf

and 11 white buttonholes of scabious, hydrangea florets and leaf.

All the buttonholes were made the natural style with stems bound with twine.

We also provided thank you bouquets, two large

and two smaller. In the same flowers/colours as the bridal party.

All of these were delivered to the bridal venue a few hours before the ceremony time. A relaxed day where the whole bridal party were in the venue grounds having hair and make up done as it was so warm and lovely outside.

If you love these designs, are having these colours or simply want to discuss your wedding flower style, please get in touch to book a consultation. Or if like this bride you are unable to meet in person, we can swap messenger or emails to plan your perfect flowers.

White gerbera wedding

White gerbera wedding

Comment   

A lovely gerbera wedding I was thrilled to be asked to provide flowers for from the weekend.

Julie knew what she wanted when she first met me at a wedding fair and fortunately I had a very similar bouquet on my stand. 

The bride's bouquet was gorgeous black centred gerberas with lilac roses, gyp, cuscus foliage and bear grass loops.

We added some sparkle with diamante pins in the roses

Julie had 5 bridesmaids in total, all different ages, so we went all gerberas for the older ladies, mimicking the bride with cuscus foliage and bear grass loops.

The younger maids had a smaller bouquet in the same style

and lastly the flower girl carried a single gerbera with bear grass loops and ribbon trails.

We also provided 6 groomsmen buttonholes, similar in style to this one (I forgot to take photos)

and also ladies buttonholes.

If you love gerberas and would like to include them in your wedding flowers, either as one of many blooms or on their own, please get in touch to discuss your options. We love gerberas here at The Studio and are always happy to provide them for your bouquets (unlike many florists!) and buttonholes. Many will tell you they won't withstand the day, but we have done many gerbera weddings over the years without problem. 

For more of our designs go to 'labels' on the right and scroll to 'gerbera'.

We look forward to hearing from you soon

Gorgeous summer wedding flowers in pink, nude and green

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.

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.

These gorgeous wedding flowers are from Laura's wedding who married in June. A lovely mix of summer blooms in blue, pink and white.

The bridal bouquet was a mix of delphiniums, nigella, pink roses, white eustoma, chrysants and a few stems of Lily of the Valley nestled in amongst the main blooms. The foliage is Thalaspi and tree fern. The outline was messy and style nothing too formed or placed.

Beautiful summer mix of flowers

The four bridesmaids carried a similar style bouquet with pink roses, nigella, eustoma and chrysants and foliage.

All stems had ivory satin ribbon bound around them.

The flower girl posy was a smaller  version of above. She was so cute on delivery wanting to show everyone her flowers.

All bouquets together.

The groom and best man wore matching buttonholes of eustoma, lily of the valley, chrysant flower and delphinium florets with thalaspi foliage.

Stems had ivory ribbon detail

The cute page boy wore a single eustoma flower with buds and sprig thalaspi. This is mounted on a small safety pin.

The rest of the groomsmen wore a buttonhole of white eustoma and thalspi.

The ladies all had a traditional corsage of a pale pink rose, eustoma, lily of the valley and gyp

All our buttonholes are presented to the bridal party of a board, all having pins.

The bouquets are delivered in a box with lots of cushioning and wrapping to protect the blooms.

These are packed last for delivery, kept in water right up to the last minute, ensuring freshness for their job ahead.
