Cery's Wedding Flowers- Purple and White

For lovers of purple and white - Cery's wedding flowers. 

Purple and white bouquet of roses and lisianthus, simple but stunning. The rose is a lovely scented variety called Norma Jean and the lisianthus is a bi coloured white variety with a deep purple edge.

Purple and white lisianthus were the perfect choice for the men's buttonholes

Wrist corsages of purple and white lisianthus with a touch of myrtle on a hand made silver wire mesh bangle. For the bridesmaids but just as lovely for a mum.

That just leaves me to say thank you Cerys for choosing me to design and create your wedding flowers for you. I hope you had a fabulous day. 

Jen's Wedding Flowers, Chilworth Manor

For her late October wedding, Jen chose a colour scheme of dusky pinks, deep greens and whites using a romantic mix of roses, freesias and lisianthus as her flowers. These gorgeous flowers are available all year round so no need to worry about seasonal availability with these. 

Classic bouquet of dusky pink and ivory roses with pink freesias, white lisianthus and a touch of rosemary and myrtle for our bride.

Ivory birdcages with dusky pink and ivory flowers, rosemary, myrtle and a twirl of ivy make a gorgeous table centre with a hint of the shabby chic.

Each table was named after - a table - love it. Here we have the coffee table with a bird cage design

The other half of the tables were decorated with these gorgeous painted flower pot designs. Each design had a slight variation in the flowers used but the look is kept consistent. Both the pots and the birdcages are ivory and used the same flowers and foliages so the mix works perfectly as a whole. Lovely and natural and just gorgeous for this room overlooking the gardens.

A huge thank you too to Kate for the photos - stunning as ever. 

Anna's Winter Wedding Flowers, Cream and Burgundy

It's early November and here is the first of this years winter bouquets. Anna chose a scheme of rich cream and pale burgundy for her wedding, a perfect time to use the lovely red skimmia that is about now then.

Hampshire Regency Dancers 10th Anniversary Ball Flowers, Old Alresford House

Congratulations To Hampshire Regency Dancers who celebrated their 10th anniversary with a ball at Old Alresford House. I was delighted to be asked to help with some floral designs in the style of the Regency period. The regency period - the age of elegance, of Jane Austin, of dancing cards and flowers were THE fashion. To recreate the look I used old english garden roses ( here we had to bend the rules and have them imported due to the time of year) mixed essentially with flowers and foliages cut from the gardens as they would have been at that time. The gardens I have to say were not mine but those of a rather famous and rather large garden with a huge selection of possible material. A big thank you to them for helping us with this rather special project.

That just leaves me to say thank you so much Hampshire Regency Dancers for asking me to design and create the flowers for your ball and wishing you a very happy anniversary.

Emma's Contemporary Purple Wedding Flowers, Langrish House

Bride's often say their wedding gowns are very different from the ideas they had on dresses when they first started looking. And so it is with flowers. It would be fair to say that the flowers Emma choose were pretty much the exact opposite of what she had in mind when she first came to see me. It is not that I tried to talk her out of her original ideas, it was more of a love at first sight thing ! 

Purple hydrangea and lisianthus with sprays of diamante make a stunning contemporary bouquet for Emma. A long way from the loose, unstructured mix she had in mind originally but it was perfect for her very lovely wedding dress with it's glamourous feel. 

Bouquet of purple hydrangea and lisianthus with a touch of sparkle. A perfect ball of purple flowers, simple and very striking. 

Buttonholes of purple double lisianthus flowers co-ordinate perfectly.

Purple hydrangea and lisianthus make a striking, modern table centre. Around the base are little silver pots of purple lisianthus and tea lights. Gorgeous for the purple and silver theme.

That just leaves me to say thank you so much Emma for choosing me to design and create your wedding flowers for you. I loved working on this striking and modern scheme. And very many congratulations on your marriage.

Ellie's Yellow and Blue Wedding Flowers, Marwell Hotel

Nothing like a touch of yellow to brighten up a grey autumn day. For Ellie's wedding it's combined with blue and a touch of white for a fresh, young and very pretty look in the country style. Ellie loved daisies, lots of them - being October, I've used Aster but in a way that has exactly the look she was after.

Yellow roses, blue hydrangea, freesias, "daisies" ( Aster) and gypsophila make a gorgeous bouquet for Ellie. Fresh, modern, pretty and slightly country style.

Yellow and blue flowers in ivory painted pots were used to decorate the ceremony table ready for Ellie's wedding at the Marwell hotel. The mini pots held tea lights and a touch of moss to carry through the country style look. Very cute and always a hit, it's the little details that bring it all together.
