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

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.)

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.

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

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.

If you love this style of bouquet, the colours or the flowers and would like to incorporate them into your wedding day then please get in touch to book a consultation today!

We can talk through your ideas, colours and style and come up with magical designs for your special day. Looking forward to speaking with you soon.
