More Wedding Flowers

 I have got a little behind with my blog lately, very sorry ! Please do bear with me because I have some gorgeous schemes to share with you. More posts with lots of lovely photos follow soon. Which according to my Sat Nav is the turning after the next one - usually !!

Kelly's Modern Wedding Flowers, De Vere Grand Harbour, Southampton

Kelly chose red as the colour scheme for her wedding but for her bouquet was keen to use a blend of Cranberry reds, oranges with a dash of lime in a soft but very modern design. And so here they are Kelly's wedding flowers.


Modern trailing bouquet of red roses, orange orchids and freesias with pale green cymbidium orchids and trails of red rose petals and orange orchids. Very striking and very unusual, I loved making this wedding bouquet for Kelly.


Co-ordinating buttonhole of red rose and orange orchid for Luke.


Bouquet of roses, orchids and freesias in reds, oranges and pale green. This design would be suitable for a bridesmaid but in fact is Kelly's bouquet without the trails. It looked quite stunning at this stage and so I thought you might like to see it. In fact the bridesmaids wore trailing wrist corsages of orange rose petals, sadly not something that photographs well unless it is being worn but you can see the corsage design in my main web site in the bouquets section.


Table centre of red roses and petals with candle and tea lights, just stunning with all the candles lit.

That just leaves me to say thank you so much Luke and Kelly for choosing  me to design and create your wedding flowers for you, it was an absolute pleasure. I hope you both had a fabulous day and very many congratulations on your marriage.

Stacey's Contemporary Wedding Flowers, Forest Lodge Hotel

For her wedding at the Forest Lodge Hotel, Stacey choose modern designs centred on roses and calla lilies with grasses and lots of sparkle. The Forest Lodge has a very modern look so the contemporary designs were perfect for the setting.

Lisa's Vintage Cream Wedding Flowers, Spread Eagle Hotel,Midhurst

For her wedding, Lisa choose a gorgeous vintage look in rich creams and buttermilks mixed with ivory and pearls.  I loved the more unusual colours here. In fact they make a wonderful choice for low light venues as the colours appear rich, warm and almost luminous even in very low light. 


Vintage style bouquet in ivory and creams- buttermilks using roses and stocks with a little foliage and big pearls buried within the design. The bouquet is finished with a big ivory floppy bow to match the detail on the Lisa's dress. I loved it !


Groom buttonhole of rose with pearl centre, a little eucalyptus and an ivory ribbon stem.


Co-ordinating posy of roses, stocks, pearls and foliage for the bridesmaid.


Black and white corsage for the bride's mum. A stunning design of Akito rose, black diamante, black looped grass and hand made black wire mesh leaves. Finished with ivory ribbon stem. 


Vintage styled tall table centres in ivory, cream - buttermilk using roses, stocks and lisianthus with mixed vintage toned foliages. The design uses a trumpet vase containing lisianthus sitting in a pool of pearls for a gorgeous finishing touch.
