 A very traditional Christmas wedding at Rhinefield House in the New Forest, here are Jenny's wedding flowers.



Jenny's bouquet, red roses, spray roses and mixed berries with white wax flower and pine, holly and mistletoe for the foliages. Absolutely gorgeous for a traditional Christmas wedding.


Bridesmaids carried bouquets of white roses, spray roses and wax flower with red berries and wintery pine, holly and mistletoe.Lovely for a christmas wedding.


Buttonholes of white rose and wax flower with burgundy skimmia and ivy leaves for the men.


Corsages of white double freesia with wax flower and ivy leaves for the ladies, Simple but very pretty.


The aisle chairs decorated with white sashes and a posy of red rose, pine, mistletoe and wax flower tucked into the bow.


The aisle at Rhinefield decorated ready for Jenny and Phil's wedding ceremony. The chairs are decorated with white sashes and seasonal posies of flowers and the start of the aisle is marked by a pair of tall lanterns with church candles and a pair of standard bay trees decorated with clear fairy lights. The lanterns continue to the top of the aisle in an alternating pattern.


The stunning mantle at Rhinefield House decorated with a traditional christmas design of red amaryllis, rose and berry with white freesia and wax flower and seasonal foliages to include pine, holly and mistletoe with ivy trails. Tall storm lanterns with church candles sit between each section and at each end.


Co-ordinating candelabra design at Rhinefield using red amaryllis and berries with white freesia and wax flower  and traditional wintery foliages to include pine, holly and ivy trails.


Candelabra flowers Rhinefield House, Christmas style in reds with a touch of white


Mixing high and low table centres is very popular as it gives colour and flower at different heights. This floral wreath sits around a storm lantern with church candle and uses red roses and berries with white freesias and wax flower and seasonal foliages to include pine, holly and mistletoe. Beautiful for a traditional Christmas wedding and combines very well with the tall candelabra designs.


Lastly, the top table, a beautiful long and low design with church candles using red amaryllis, roses and berries with white freesias and wax flower and seasonal foliages. Here it sits in front of the stunning Christmas tree at Rhinefield House and was also used on the ceremony table for Jenny and Phil's wedding ceremony.

And that just leaves me to say, thank you so much Jenny and Phil for asking me to design and create your wedding flowers for you, I absolutely loved working on this beautiful,traditional Christmas scheme for you.

Maxine's Champagne and Blush Winter Wedding Flowers, New Place, Shirrell Heath

A very pretty, classic late autumn/ winter wedding flower scheme at New Place, here are Maxine's wedding flowers.


Maxine's stunning winter bouquet, a mix of champagne roses, blush spray roses, white anemones, ranunculus, bouvardia and astilbe with a little green skimmia and a touch of feathery tree fern at the edges. 



 Groom's buttonhole of white rose, anemone and bouvardia with classic vintage style foliages and mum's corsage of white ranunculus with bouvardia.


Bridesmaids' bouquets used white gypsophila with bouvardia, simple but effective and very pretty.


A floral wreath around a storm lantern with church candle makes a gorgeous low centrepiece for an autumn / winter wedding. This one in champagne and blush with sage green uses mix of champagne roses, blush spray roses, white anemones, ranunculus and gypsophila with a little green skimmia and mixed vintage toned foliages that co-ordinate beautifully with the sage green chair sashes.


The top table was a linear version of the centrepieces, wedding themed long and low sections of flower and foliages with church candles in storm lanterns in between each section.


Floral arch at New Place uses mixed foliages with fairy lights and gypsophila running through it. In the low light of a late November wedding the fairy lights create a magical effect for arriving guests. The design is very simple but very effective for a winter wedding. Only a pity I had to put it up and photo it in daylight !

And that just leaves me to say thank you so much Maxine for asking me to design and create your wedding flowers for you. I absolutely love winter weddings and it was a real joy to work on yours for you.
