Selina's winter wedding flowers with vintage theme

For Selina's February wedding I was asked to create designs with a strong vintage look in dusky pinks-lilacs to compliment Selina's truly beautiful wedding dress of all over vintage lace and bridesmaids in purple. And here are the finished results, Selina's vintage style wedding flowers.

Buttonhole of Memory Lane rose with eucalyptus and asparagus fern.

Vintage style bouquet of Memory Lane roses, anemones, freesias and mixed foliages for Selina. The very beautiful Memory Lane rose and the anemones are perfect for creating this look and the variegated foliage and the asparagus fern add to the vintage feel.

Vintage style wedding flowers using the gorgeous mauve Memory Lane rose with freesias and anemones mixed with vintage toned foliages. 

Selina's bridesmaids carried smaller co-ordinating bouquets.

And here are the girls, looking fabulous.

I love the way colours blend with the purple dresses.

Top table flowers, actually the bouquets in vases because when you have flowers this beautiful it's a shame not too. The venue is Brasserie 68 in Fareham.

Finally the co-ordinating tied design for the cake.

That just leaves me to say thank you so much Selina for choosing me to design and create your wedding flowers for you and for sharing your photos with us. It was an absolute  pleasure and very many congratulations on your marriage.

Winter wedding flowers - vintage style

With the vintage theme staying ever strong and an increasing number of winter weddings I thought it might be interesting to create some designs that combined the two influences, I hope you like them.

Winter wedding bouquet of lilac roses, pine, mini cones, paperwhites for perfume, eucalyptus and some gently glittered twigs to catch the light. The gentle colours and mix of textures are perfect for brides looking to add a vintage element to a winter wedding.

These designs were shown at the New Place wedding fayre in February. Many thanks to all those brides that came and had a chat and I look forward to working with you on your own weddings over the coming year.

Pink peonies, mixed roses and trails of ivy make a lovely wedding bouquet and this hand tied style with trails of ivy is a lovely modern alternative to a full shower bouquet.

My shot of the bridesmaids' bouquets of roses, freesias and gypsophila topped off with a delicate feather butterfly. Lovely and fresh for mid summer.

A lovely natural photo of the bridesmaids entering the church, I loved the way the bouquets combined with their fresh mint dresses.

Gemma's wedding flowers, Park Gate Church & marquee

A huge thank you to Gemma who has just sent some stunning pictures of her very romantic wedding last July.

Groom's buttonhole of lisianthus, a lovely alternative to a rose and just perfect for echoing the gorgeous sweet peas used in the bouquets.

Gemma's wedding bouquet of sweet peas and roses in soft pinks and ivory.

The fantastic train on Gemma's dress provided the inspiration behind the look. The sweet peas and the ruffled train were a completely perfect combination.

And here she is, our bride arriving at the church looking amazing.

Bridesmaid's bouquet of mixed ivory,pink and lilac sweet peas.

Free standing pew ends, balls of pink roses, pale pink, lilac and ivory lisianthus and a trail of ivy for a beautifully romantic look. Used to line the aisle of this very modern church.

Low table centre of roses and sweet peas and a scattering of fresh rose petals.

Tall table centres of gladioli and sweet peas provide real impact in the marquee.

They were mixed with the low table centres to give flower and colour on every level.

The wedding breakfast in full swing, as you can see guests can easily see and talk to each other below the tall table centres and over the low ones - just as it should be.

It just leaves me to say thank you so much Gemma for choosing me to design and create your wedding flowers for you and for sharing your lovely photos. It was an absolute pleasure. Very many congratulations on your marriage.

Govya's Wedding Flowers, Lainston House

Bouquet of pink and red roses with white freesia for our bride. A diamante pin was added to the red roses for a touch of winter sparkle. The foliages included a touch of Myrtle, a foliage traditionally included in all british royal wedding bouquets since Queen Victoria included it in hers when she married Prince Albert.

The design featured 1 central larger design with 1 smaller design either side and the length of the table was then decorated with fresh scattered rose petals and clear table crystals for a touch of winter sparkle.
