Kelly's Spring Green and White Wedding Flowers, New Place

A February wedding at New Place using the fresh Spring Colours of palest green with white and cream. People often worry that that January and February are difficult months for flowers but in fact nothing could be further from the truth. There is a huge selection available and here we have made the most of the very pretty Spring Flowers that have in fact been available since before Christmas. 

Spring bouquet in palest greens, whites and creams using Dolomiti roses, tulips, anemones, scented paperwhites and astilbe. The look is very soft and elegant, somewhere between classic and vintage, I was sorry to part with it !

Bridesmaids' bouquets of cream roses with white tulips, anemones, mini narcissus and a touch of fresh Spring green foliage. 

Small posy for the flower girls using a rose with tulips, anemones and paperwhites with a little fresh green foliage. Very pretty and perfect for little hands.

For the ceremony table, a long and low design with church candles using roses, tulips, anemones and paperwhites.

Wreath of spring flowers and foliages around a candle made a lovely low table centre, here I used Dolomiti roses with tulips, anemones and mini narcissus with fresh green foliages. Absolutely gorgeous for this February wedding. 

The low table centres were combined with these tall designs in cocktail vases. Dolomiti roses with tulips,anemones, paper whites and mixed fresh green foliages. An ivy trail wound down the stem of the vase adds a lovely finishing touch.

That just leaves me to say thank you so much Kelly for asking me to design and create your wedding flowers for you, I hope all you had a fabulous day.

January 2014 Showcase, New Place, Shirrell Heath

It was a great pleasure to be at New Place yesterday to support them with their fabulous showcase event. For anyone that missed it or who would like another look at the designs I did, here they are;

Gypsophila, given a Great Gatsby twist for this lovely low table centre. I have added crystal droplets to the gypsophila and lisianthus and decorated the vase with vintage style lace for that necessary touch of opulence. The glass tea light holders are decorated with the same lace and a scattering of table diamonds on a mirror plate complete the look. 

The vintage lace tea lights holders looked stunning. 

Gypsophila and lisianthus vintage glamour style in this tall lily vase at New Place. Crystal drops, scattered table diamonds and vintage lace covered tea light holders complete the vintage glamour look.

Top table, Great Gatsby style in silver and white. A glorious mix of lisianthus, gypsophila, lace, crystals and candles.

Glass of white lisianthus, gyp and crystal sprays, Great Gatsby style. Mixed vases of flowers make a wonderful alternative for bride's looking for something different for their top table.

Lisianthus and gyp in miniature bottles on vintage lace doilies looked great in the mix. Either side are tea lights in frosted glass holders.

Gypsophila is deservedly very popular for weddings, used on mass it looks great and it's a bit kinder on the pocket than a lot of alternatives. We usually see it though in more rustic or traditional designs. I thought it would be great to give it a different and much more glamourous look. I hope you liked it. 

Mantle piece design in buttermilk and pale green for the fireplace in the Bristol room at New Place. January heralds the start of the new year so it was great to use these gorgeous spring colours. People often think January is a difficult month for wedding flowers but I wanted to crush the myth. There are a fantastic selection of flowers available including all those  very pretty spring flowers. Here I have used David Austin roses, viburnum opulus and lisianthus for this trailing mantle design which can double as a top table piece.

Co-ordinating vintage style bouquet of Patience roses, freesias and pale green lisianthus with viburnum Opulus. I love the mix of buttermilk and fresh greens in this bouquet and the scent was just gorgeous. Perfect colours for a Spring wedding but just as lovely in January !
