Zoe's Wedding Flowers, Marriott Meon Valley Hotel

Another Spring wedding featuring iris, this time in bright contemporary designs which just goes to show how versatile this flower can be. Impossibly glamorous, classic, contemporary or country, the iris can do it all. Available all year round and brilliant value for money too.


Buttonholes of ivory rose finished with purple ribbon for the men.


Corsage for the mum's of hand made silver wire mesh leaves, ivory rose and purple diamante.


Our bride's rather stunning wedding bouquet of purple iris, nerine and gloriosa lily with a little ivory rose. 

 Zoe loved the ruffled look of sweet peas but we were just a little to early in the year for them, she also loved bright, vibrant colours and the groom particularly wanted white roses. So we used a wonderful mix of purple iris, pink nerine and cerise gloriosa lily with a touch of white rose to create her very unique wedding bouquet. The photos don't really do it justice. 


 White iris, pink nerine and gloriosa lily posies for the younger bridesmaids.


For the ceremony table we created a long and low design using the same vibrant purple and pink flowers and 3 church candles. This was later transferred to the long table used for the reception with a smaller co-ordinating design either side and a scattering of pink rose petals and loose iris. 


Thank you Zoe for choosing me to design and create your wedding flowers for you, I loved working with these wonderful flowers and all those gorgeous bright colours. And very many congratulations on your marriage.

Wedding Flowers Spring, Tove and Tim, Balmer Lawn

A lovely sunny spring wedding in the New Forest for which I was asked to create flowers in a natural country style and with a strong Spring in the Forest theme


Tulip buttonhole. This is a gorgeous frilled edge variety called "Honeymoon" and here we have combined it with a little evergreen jasmine to give it the natural country look Tove was looking for.



Tove's wedding bouquet of spring flowers in whites and yellows, a natural country look and a trailing style perfect for a spring wedding in the New Forest. To create it I combined  tulips, iris, lily of the valley, freesia, ornithogalum and trails of evergreen jasmine and it smelt absolutely gorgeous. I have to say I was sad to part with it !




I really love these close up pictures of Tove's wedding bouquet kindly sent by her New Forest based photographer, the lovely  Barry Whitcher of www.photosbybw.co.uk. Photographing flowers is a real art in itself and I thought these shots were absolutely stunning so thank you Barry.


My photo of Tove's wedding bouquet  all boxed and ready to go.


Our lovely bride with her bouquet.



For the ceremony table we created this long and low trailing design of tulips, iris and freesia with natural country style foliages. A design also very suitable for top tables and fireplaces/mantlepieces.

Basket of spring flowers in whites and yellows for the tables. The dark chocolate of the salim basket shows off the flowers perfectly and was just the thing to help give the table centres the natural, country style, Spring in the Forest look the bride and groom wanted for their wedding.I placed them on the tables used for the drinks reception and they were then moved to the tables for the sit down meal.
