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

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.

Purple and Lilac wedding flowers

Purple and Lilac wedding flowers

Comment   

A lovely intimate wedding which we supplied the bridal party flowers for a few weeks ago.

The colour scheme was purple an lilac in which eustoma, freesia, roses, carnations with senecio foliage was chosen.

These bouquets are a lovely summer mix in colour and variety. 

The brides bouquet was given a lace bow over a wrap of lace on the stems.

The bridesmaids wore purple gowns and as such their bouquets were kept to the lilac theme. These had beautiful roses, freesia and carnations and look scrumptious!

The stems were bound in lace to compliment the bridal bouquet.

Bridal bouquet with the maids

The groomsmen wore a double buttonhole of a lilac rose with purple eustoma flower and bud and silver senecio foliage.

All buttonholes are presented on a board all ready with a pin.

We also supplied 2 thank you bouquets for presentation at the speeches.

Unusually we delivered to the groom and what a handsome bunch the groomsmen were in their finery.

Are you having purple or a lilac themed wedding? Love the flowers but having different colours? Ask us how we could style these designs for you and your wedding party.

Whether a large or small wedding we are happy to talk to you about your flowery wishes, why not ring today and book a consultation to start the process?

I look forward to hearing from you

Wedding flowers at The Mount Pleasant Hotel Bawtry

Wedding flowers at The Mount Pleasant Hotel Bawtry

Comment   

This is the fabulous reception set up of A and O at The Mount Pleasant Hotel at Bawtry.

The displays alternated between high, candelabras, and low, pumpkin vases.

Our candelabras are 100cm tall and theses were displayed with long taper candles.

The display was a flower ball between the arms allowing for 5 candles and the gorgeous flowers used were roses and carnations in both pale pink and champagne with mixed foliage.

They were sat on large round mirrors.

The low displays were a couple of silver pumpkin vases with pink roses and carnations with champagne roses and wax flower.

These make really cute table centrepieces for your guests.

The top table had a long and low design

filled with scrumptious flowers as the bride's bouquet (here) such as roses, wax flower, spray roses and eustoma.

Unfortunately we arrived at the same time as the lovely ladies from the chair cover company and didn't get to see the room completely dressed.

Thank you hand ties were also provided for presentation during the speeches.

If anyone has any doubts about the way we transport flowers to the venues I took these shots on loading the van up for this wedding.

I may get odd looks from having such a large van BUT on occasions such as this wedding it is so easy to load, transport and unload with flowers in order of need.

Church flowers at the front, bridal designs next with buttonholes and reception flowers at the rear and plenty of room left for a larger set up.

On this occasion I had a helper and after the whole set up was complete we stopped off for a coffee and gingerbread man, a small treat after a busy morning.

If you are getting married at The Mount Pleasant Hotel or love any of the designs above do get in touch to see how we can transform your venue with flowers.

All the candelabras and vases were hired from us and part of our care and service is to collect all of these items the next day, working with the hotel, so you don't have to worry. All sorted, generally, before breakfast.

I look forward to hearing from you
