Ivory roses and gyp wedding flowers

Comment   

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.

We are always honoured to provide someone's wedding flowers whether a large part of the day or small. Ask us about availability for your day.

Roses and gyp are a timeless classic and ivory/white will always be in style. Here is another one based on gyp for your inspiration

G & J were married at St May's church in Broughton.

We provided a large pedestal for the altar of mainly sunflowers with sunny daisy santini chrysants, sol and gyp. Mixed seasonal foliage completed the design.

The pew ends were treated to bunches of gyp tied up with a yellow bow, these were hung on alternate rows full way down the aisle.

This is only a small set up in church but does it add to the occasion and sets the tone of the bridal flowers and of the reception decorations.

We set all flowers up (where absolute possible) on the wedding morning, so this was a bright early start at church. We arrange direct with the church warden again, where possible, and always ask for a key holders contact number for any difficulties on the day. We do not want to worry you if someone fails to open up for us, we can deal direct and it all appears seamless to you. That is one way we help you achieve stress free planning. We know when and where and what we need to do and can answer any questions your church warden may ask about the set up, again, making the whole process much easier for all.

If you are having a church ceremony and would like to discuss how we could style your flowers then please get in touch today to book a consultation.

Jemma's wedding was all sorted remotely, a brief conversation on the phone and emailed photos of bouquets and table designs she liked. The overriding component though was sunflowers and gyp.

To see other sunflower weddings click here and here

The bridal bouquet was large sunflowers surrounded by clouds of gyp with a little foliage as a supporting collar. 

The stems were wrapped in bright yellow satin ribbon

Slightly unusually the 5 adult bridesmaids each carried a large single sunflower with the stem completely wrapped in yellow ribbon with a bow and trails under the head.

These are usually carried by the smaller bridesmaids but looked fantastic against the dresses.

The 3 flower girls wore a single small sunflower on their wrists tied onto yellow satin ribbon.

The groomsmen all wore a small sunflower buttonhole with leaves, and ears of corn. The stems were wrapped in twine.

The ladies wore a similar buttonhole with added gyp.

This would be our first meeting on handing over, always a nervous time for me, especially when the bride has gone walkabout and no-one can get hold of her! Take your phone with you ladies if you pop out for some air.

Anyway, the flowers were greatly received and I got a hug so all was going well when I left. 

The bridal bouquets are always handed over to the bride personally. I want to see you are happy with them, usually in a hotel that means bringing them up to your room. If you are mid hair/make up I can talk to you while you are still being beautified. I show you each bouquet and who's is who's and check any buttonholes etc are where you want them. 

Some hotels will have a cooler room for storing them while you get ready other unfortunately don't. 

The bride usually receives the flowers first then the groom, then reception, so any changes to peoples whereabouts and buttonholes can be accommodated. 

If you like these designs or are wanting to discuss your wedding flower options please get in touch today to book a consultation.

All Saints at Ingham wedding flowers

On a cold and blustery November day we decorated this fabulous church in the next village to me, All Saint's at Ingham.

The wedding colour scheme was burgundy with hints of autumnal colours and white.

On the gate posts to welcome the guests were hung some seeded eucalyptus, cotinus, gyp and a few roses, tied on (tightly) with a pretty burgundy bow.

In the entrance is the font (a very small church) and on this we added a long and low type arrangement with roses, amaranths, gyp and carnations and mixed seasonal foliage.

The bride knew she wanted gyp on the pew ends but nothing too large as the aisle isn't very wide. We teamed this with seeded eucalyptus and tied on with burgundy satin ribbon.

At the altar stood a traditional style pedestal with burnt orange roses and gladioli, burgundy roses, amaranths, carnations and mixed seasonal foliage.

At the High altar stood another pedestal of the same flowers.

The view down the aisle towards the entrance.

The rest of the flowers were created by a family member, we are happy to take on all or some of your flowers to suit you. It is your day and we will not insist on being the only supplier, although do be careful if you want all displays to match as everyone creates items differently and some colours are described differently.

If you are having a church wedding ask us how we could style the space. This is a very small church as against this post last week which was huge. 

We can arrange a meeting to show you where best to put your displays and what needs and doesn't need decorating.

Please take a look on the right Churches: (A list of some of the churches we have decorated)

If you need more information, please get in touch.
