Gorgeous tied pew end of red roses, white bouvardiaa and mixed  foliage finished with tulle bow and trails. Just one thing, there were no pews at this church, just chairs so fixing them posed an interesting little question. Thank goodness for paper covered wire, the tiniest gap between the frame and the cushion and a wonderfully strategically placed bolt !

Lisa's Bright & Contemporary Wedding Flowers, Royal Maritime Club

Lisa chose a stunning shade of royal blue for the colour scheme for her wedding. The delphiniums were perfect . All blue schemes can look a little cold though if you are not careful and Lisa's bubbly personality called for something a little different. So here we have it, Lisa's wedding flowers a glorious, bright and cheerful mix of royal blue, bright green and bright pink.  

Royal blue, bright pink and green wedding bouquet using delphiniums, roses, orchids, hydrangea and a touch of purple lavender. Lisa loved it, I loved - a success then. The hydrangeas incidentally are a wonderful choice for brides at this time of year - at their best now and available in a glorious range of colours.
