Lynda and Martin's wedding

26/2/2018

0 Comments

 
Lynda and Martin were married on 2 February 2018 at Wivenhoe House. Their wedding had a gorgeous colour palette of ivory and plum, so I used a beautiful mix of anemones, roses, spray roses, dianthus, astrantia, ammi, waxflower, gypsophila and eucalyptus for their flowers. Just look at those anemones!!

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.

Charlotte and Bill's wedding

12/2/2018

Charlotte and Bill were married on 28 October 2017 and held their reception at The Compasses at Pattiswick. They went for a stunning mix of plums, deep reds and purples with a bit of navy for their flowers which included roses, astilbe, clematis, cosmos, viburnum, leucadendron, waxflower, daucus and homegrown sedum. I only made the bridal flowers for this lovely wedding, but that included a lot of buttonholes!
Picture
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.
Picture
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's wedding

5/2/2018

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!
The church featured two huge pedestal stands, pew ends and a large long and low arrangement, all of which were later moved over to be used at the venue.
The candelabra table centres were decorated with simple foliage garlands and a small grouping of flowers, but they didn't need anything more than this and they looked so impressive across the room. The pew ends were later put in Tiptree jam jars (I knew I was collecting them for a reason!) and displayed across a couple of elegant mantelpieces at the venue. And not forgetting the thank you bouquets!
