Roses

Comment   

Long considered a symbol of beauty and love, roses figure into many myths and fairy tales. Romantic writers and poets have used the flower as a metaphor for emotion, beauty, passion and true love. An all-star in the world of weddings, the rose is far from boring, particularly when it comes to color—roses are available in solid hues and bicolor varieties—there are even striped and tipped roses as well. 

More than 3,000 varieties of roses are grown commercially, and many are available year-round and are surprisingly affordable. And though roses are associated with luxurious fragrance, not every rose is scented. Three main types of roses are most popular for wedding flowers: hybrid tea roses (the classic, uniformly shaped commercial roses generally seen at your local florist), spray roses (a rose with five to ten small heads on each stem and a "natural, garden-grown" look) and garden roses (expensive, old-fashioned varieties with bushy, open heads and delicious scents).

These are the gorgeous bouquets that Rebecca had for her wedding a few weeks ago. Very simple designs of roses and gyp but they complimented her dress and style wonderfully.

The bridal bouquet was a posy of ivory and dusky pink roses surrounded by a cloud of gyp.

No foliage was to be included at all!

These roses were gorgeous and scented.

The three bridesmaids each carried a posy of ivory roses and gyp to compliment their dusky pink dresses.

And with the bridal posy too.

The bride also wore flowers in her hair of ivory spray roses and gyp

The groom wore a gorgeous double buttonhole of both roses and some gyp

The groomsmen wore ivory rose and gyp buttonholes

While mum wore a wrist corsage of double rose, gyp and small amount of foliage.

The other ladies wore dusky pink rose and gyp buttonholes.

No foliage in any buttonholes on the brides request.

The buttonholes all ready for presentation to the wedding party

Roses will never go out of style, they are such a classic flower, that whatever your style, colour or theme roses will go.

If you love these designs and would like to recreate them for your wedding get in touch to book a consultation today.

I look forward to hearing from you soon

This wedding from November is very simple but very pretty bouquets of ivory roses and gyp.

The brides bouquet was small ivory roses with gyp and ruscus foliage mixed through and around the roses.

The stems were bound with white satin ribbon.

The two bridesmaids carried a smaller bouquet of 3 ivory roses with a cloud of gyp and foliage as a collar.

Stems bound as brides, with white satin ribbon

The flower girl carried a small bouquet of a single rose with a small cloud of gyp.

The stems were bound completely with satin ribbon for comfort for little hands.

The groomsmen wore a single ivory rose and leaf

The ladies wore a single ivory rose with sprigs of gyp and foliage surround.

The presentation box ready for hand over to the bride.
