Lynda's bouquet was an absolute stunner - and thanks to my new photography skills I was actually able to capture all that beauty!

The bridesmaids had all gyp bouquets - they complimented the bridal bouquet perfectly. One of Lynda's bridesmaids was her daughter Claire, whose wedding I'm also flowering later this year. I can't wait for that one!

A few buttonholes completed the bridal party. 

I also created a large long and low arrangement for the ceremony/top tables - it was huge! I love making these arrangements, they make such an impact in the venue and look fab in photos of the couple signing the register and sitting at the top table. 

Finally a vase arrangement for the gift table finished off the flowers so nicely. 

Here's a sneak peek from the professional photographer - Purple Pear Tree Photography - absolutely gorgeous and looks like they had a fun filled day!

These bouquets are among my favourites of last year as well - I love the colour combination and there was so much texture in there. I used a painted table in the garden to shoot the flowers on and I think the blue colour really compliments the colours in the flowers.

Charlotte and Bill ordered a whole load of buttonholes and corsages, all slightly different according to who they were for - there was one design for the best men, one for the groomsmen etc... In order to keep them all organised I labelled each of the vases I kept them in overnight. It would have worked well if the post it notes didn't keep falling off! They all ended up correctly labelled and on the right person though.

Kate and Ian were married on 7 October 2017 at a church in Colchester, followed by a reception at Wivenhoe House. They chose an absolutely gorgeous, deep autumnal selection of aubergine, purple and cream flowers; including dahlias, carnations, calla lilies, astrantia, roses, tulips, waxflower, hypericum and clematis.

Kate's bouquet is right up there as one of my favourites from last year - I love the shape, the colours, the texture - everything! The bridesmaid bouquets complimented beautifully, as did the buttonholes and corsages. Ian had initially mentioned having a lily in his buttonhole because he liked them, however the lilies he was thinking of would have been a bit too big for a buttonhole. Whilst ordering the flowers I found a calla lily in the perfect colour to match the rest of the flowers so I just had to order them - Ian got his lily and the rest of them blended so beautifully with the other flowers.

That's one full van! I ran out of space in the back so the bride's bouquet rode shotgun in the passenger seat!
