Classic buttonholes of Vendela rose with double leaf for the men.

For the wedding ceremony, I created these two tall designs of red roses, white bouvardia and double lisianthus to decorate the ceremony table. The foliage was kept light and fresh to show those gorgeous roses off to their best and also so the designs looked great against the deep wood panelling of the Bristol Room at New Place.

Amy's Vintage Autumn Wedding Flowers

For her early autumn wedding Amy was looking for flowers with a strong vintage feel based around the very beautiful and ever popular Memory Lane rose and a slight early autumn feel. To get the look I combined the roses with seasonal foliages and berries in vintage tones and added in a few of Amy's other favourite flowers - freesias and stocks. 


Groom's buttonhole of Memory Lane rose with ivory hypericum berry and eucalyptus.


Bouquets of Memory Lane and Ocean Song roses, freesias, hypericum and mixed foliages for the bridesmaids


Amy's vintage bouquet of mauve and lilac roses with freesias, berries and jasmine trails.


For the Flowergirls, I made these little posies of Memory Lane rose, freesia and hypericum berry with vintage toned foliages. Very cute and very light weight so perfect for little girls.


For the church flowers, I created these pedestal designs following the vintage and autumnal theme in dusky pinks and mauves using roses, stocks, freesias with lots of seasonal berries, vintage toned trailing foliages and a centre of church candles. This one I placed in the vestibule for maximum impact and a lovely welcome as you enter the church. It was later moved to the reception.

The base of the design and the length of the top table is decorated with scattered green lisianthus flowers and white rose petals for a lovely decadent touch that's just a little different.

Hannah's Wedding Flowers, red roses-modern country style

For her wedding flowers, Hannah chose the stunningly beautiful Grand Prix rose and was anxious to give it a slight country look that would compliment her reception venue in the heart of the New Forest. And so here they are - Hannah's wedding flowers - red roses slightly country style


Buttonhole of Grand Prix rose and ivy leaves for the men.


Hannah's gorgeous wedding bouquet of Grand Prix roses, spray roses, ivy leaves with sprigs of myrtle

Corsages of double ivory rose with ivy leaves and myrtle for the mums.


The banqueting tables at the Bramble Hill Hotel, New Forest set out with mixed vases of red roses and foliage all ready for Hannah's wedding reception. The tables do not leave alot of room for flowers so the use of lots of small designs with a sprinkling of petals works really well


Table centre of Grand Prix roses, slight country style



Top table flowers - little vases of rose, berry and foliage, a sprinkling of fresh rose petals and a vase waiting for Hannah's bouquet.


Thank you bouquets for the mums, to carry on the country look I used these gorgeous oak leaves mixed with lilies, red roses, berries and deep red alstroemeria. 

That just leaves me to say, thank you so much Hannah for choosing me to design and create your wedding flowers for you, I hope you had a fabulous day and very many congratulations on your marriage.
