Purple Calla lily wedding flowers

Purple Calla lily wedding flowers

Comment   

I loved this wedding, the purple calla lily are just stunning. 

Marianne brought in a photo of a bouquet she had seen online and asked if I could recreate as close as possible. The bouquet was full of calla's, large leaves behind and bear grass with pearls threaded through the flowers.

We agreed on the colour of the calla's and left the foliage to me.

These callas had a natural bend in the stem and they naturally trailed to give a shower type shape.

The one bridesmaid had a smaller overarm bouquet with a more rigid shape to the design.

The two flower girls carried a posy of 3 calla lily, loops of bear grass and a few small dark leaves.

All stems were bound with ivory satin ribbon.

The groomsmen wore a single calla lily with loops of aspidistra and beargrass

The other special guests wore a single ivory rose with bear grass loops and dark small leaves.

All buttonholes had matching ivory ribbon.

Buttonholes ready to be presented to the bridal party.

I was honoured to be asked to provide these wedding flowers and was very happy to be given a hug by the bride on delivery and her comment of 'They are much better than I had hoped for' really does make the stress of trying to recreate a design more than worthwhile.

If you love calla lily and would love these designs for your wedding or just love the different style please get in touch to book a consultation today.

Blush, pink and ivory wedding flower mix for summer

Blush, pink and ivory wedding flower mix for summer

Comment   

A fabulous wedding in blush, pink and ivory, such a glorious mix of flowers!

Congratulations to J & L it was a joy to be part of your day.

All the bridal flowers were a combination of roses, astrantia, eustoma, spray roses, wax flower and gyp with cineraria and eucalyptus foliage.

The bride's bouquet was filled with a scrumptious mix of these summer blooms and foliage.

The stems were bound with blush ribbon held with pearl headed pins.

There were 2 adult bridesmaids who carried a smaller version of the bridal bouquet

a smaller version for the teenager

and a cute small posy for the flower girl.

Using the same flower mix throughout really brings all the different elements of your ladies look together. 

The groomsmen all wore a simple single rose and gyp buttonhole, some had blush and some ivory, each had ivory shoelace ribbon part bound around the stems.

A tip for you lady's: If you want to split designs do let me know beforehand as that list won't be at hand on the day (however organised you are!) and others may not know (remember!!) your intentions.

The blush roses ready for the groomsmen,

and the ivory ones.

The bridal bouquets all together,

and packed for delivery and presentation to the bride.

This really was a beautiful colour scheme for a summer wedding, my photos don't do them justice.

If you love this style and would love to have similar for your own day then do get in touch to discuss how to progress and start the process.

Other colour combinations can also be achieved with similar flowers so don't despair if you don't have blush/pink as your colour scheme. Again get in touch and let us advise how we can best achieve your dream flowers in your colours.

I look forward to hearing from you soon

Gorgeous bridal bouquets with orchid, peony and anemone

Gorgeous bridal bouquets with orchid, peony and anemone

Comment   

These are the gorgeous flowers from Christina's wedding in early May.

On meeting Christina had a fairly good idea of the flowers and design she wanted to create but wanted confirmation on availability. We had to switch one variety but all others were in season.

The bouquets were to be lots of foliage, eucalyptus and senecio to give a silvery look and the flowers were to be neutral, creams and white with a pop of colour with the peony.

We used cymbidium orchids, peony, eustoma and anemone.

All the bouquets had the same flower and foliage content with the bridesmaids being smaller in size.

The flower girl carried a silver heart shaped wand with a single cymbidium orchid and foliage detail

The groom wore a double buttonhole of a single cymbidium flower and an anemone with eucalyptus and senecio foliage.

The mums wore a double orchid buttonhole with foliage

The groomsmen wore a single buttonhole of an anemone flower and eucalyptus foliage. All buttonholes had navy blue wire wrapped around the stems to compliment the suits.

If you love these designs or have a design in mind with similar flowers do book a consultation to discuss how we can help you achieve your flower creations.

Alternatively if you have no clue where to start we can help and advise you on a full array of designs to help you to narrow down the choice and colours for your special day.

We look forward to hearing from you soon
