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.

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.

Naomi's Rustic Style, White and Silver Wedding Flowers, Fitzleroi Barm, West Sussex

For her Guy Fawkes night wedding in the Sussex Countryside Naomi chose a very natural, rustic look and a simple colour scheme of whites and silver. Here are Naomi's wedding flowers.


Naomi's bouquet of white hydrangea, white ranunculus, bouvardia and freesia with white gypsophila. The look is very natural, textured and very pretty.


 Bridesmaids carried simple bouquets of white hydrangeas and gypsophila and the flower girl carried a mini version.

Buttonholes were white rose with fine eucalyptus leaf and berry.

Fitzleroi barn in West Sussex set up for the wedding breakfast with tall rustic style floral centrepieces in whites and silvers on a cream metal stand. I've used white hydrangeas, lisianthus, astrantia, freesia and gypsophila mixed with textured eucalyptus leaf and berry with ivy trails to create the look. Fairy lights on the beams and massed tea lights at the base of the centrepieces help create a magical atmosphere for a winter wedding..


Tall centrepiece, rustic style using white hydrangeas, lisianthus,astrantia,freesia and gypsophila with mixed eucalyptus leaf and berry and ivy trails. Perfect for this country barn setting


Floral table plan, aluminium pots of flowers in whites and silvers on a wooden pallet style stand. Each table has it's own pot of flowers. An absolutely gorgeous alternative to the traditional table plan.

For the top table Naomi used the bridal and bridesmaids bouquets mixed with these pretty mini designs of white flowers in shot glasses and massed tea lights. Again, a lovely idea for bride's looking for an alternative idea to the more traditional long and low.

And that just leaves me to say thank you so much Naomi for asking me to design and create your wedding flowers for you. I absolutely loved working on this gorgeous rustic style scheme for you and I hope you had a magical day.

Buttonholes of Vuvuzela roses, skimmia, astilbe and mixed ferns for the men.


Pew ends, rustic style using white hydrangeas with ivy trails decorate the aisle at St Marks Church, Pennington. The photos don't do this justice sadly, this is a long aisle and the overall effect of all the pew flowers was beautiful.


Tall centrepiece, autumn in the forest style using coral roses, white dahlias, astrantia, pink astilbe,skimmia, eucalyptus berry and mixed ferns with ivy trails. The design sits on a tall trumpet vase filled with ivy that sits on a wooden log slice. Pine cones to take the guest place names were the perfect finishing touch.

The design sits on the log slice as before. Alex mixed high and low centrepieces to give colour and flower at all levels and the overall effect is very natural and very beautiful.


And last but not least, wedding cake flowers to follow the very natural autumn in the forest theme. Little sprays of wedding themed flowers sit on the ledges and around the base of this stacked wedding cake on it's huge log slice. Loving the pine cone bride and groom topper.

And that just leaves me to say thank you so much Alex for asking me to design and create your wedding flowers for you. It was an absolute pleasure working on this beautiful scheme for you.
