Linda's Elegant Autumn Wedding Flowers, Skylarks

A beautiful wedding from last autumn that I wanted to share, I simply wasn't able to keep up with the blog as much as I would have liked as it was such an exceptionally busy year. There were some stunning schemes and I will do my best to post a few of my favourites. Autumn and winter brides, this one is for you.

Linda's stunning shower bouquet, red roses, white cymbidium orchids with raspberry markings and burgundy skimmia, very beautiful, very elegant and perfect for an autumn/winter wedding.

Buttonholes of red spray roses and buds for the men, a lovely alternative to the classic single rose. 

Corsage of white cymbidium orchid with skimmia, lovely for the mums. 

Bridesmaids' posy of burgundy roses and skimmia with white cymbidium orchids.The skimmia gives the bouquet a lovely autumnal/ wintery twist.

The barn at Skylarks set up for Linda's wedding ceremony. Lanterns and burgundy petals line the aisle, 2 candelabra designs sit either side of the ceremony table where we have a long and low design of burgundy roses, white cymbidium orchids and skimmia.

Tall lanterns with church candles and scattered burgundy rose petals make a stunning aisle at Skylarks.

Skylark's barn decorated for the wedding ceremony in burgundy, deep red and white flowers and lots of candlelight.

That just leaves me to say thank you so much Linda for asking me to design and create your wedding flowers, I really loved working on this gorgeous autumn/winter scheme - and so sorry I have taken so long to post the photos.

Gary and Marcus Civil Partnership, Southampton Art Gallery

Gary and Marcus chose a strong black and white theme for their day and were looking for strong modern flowers that were just a little bit different. A ceremony at the Southampton Art Gallery was followed by an evening do at the Winchester Guildhall via a stop at a local restaurant. This was my first civil partnership and it was an absolute joy to work with Gary and Marcus on these stunning flowers.

Buttonhole of deep aubergine calla lily with leucadendron and loops and spires of black grass. The look is masculine, detailed and about as black as nature gets. 

Wrist corsages of white lisianthus with black feathers for the female attendants.

Co-ordinating buttonholes of calla lily and grass for the men and corsages of white lisianthus with loops and spires of grass for the ladies.

Ceremony table flowers at the Southampton Art gallery. Loving the way those black seats work with the black and white theme to the day.

Contemporary ceremony table flowers using aubergine calla lilies, leucadendron, black bacarra roses, rolled black tie leaves

Table centre of aubergine calla lilies, Black Bacarra and Grand Prix roses, leucadendron  and rolled black tie leaves. The vase is lined with black tie leaves for a really strong and contemporary look. The deep burgundy is perfectly suited to the King Charles room at the Winchester guildhall.

Wild garden themed table centre using curly willow, ivy, roses, astilbe and lime chrysanthemums. These were used in softer Wintonian room. I loved these !

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

Jemma's Christmas Wedding Flowers, Solent Spa

For her mid December wedding Jemma was looking for a strong Christmas theme to her flowers, lots of red roses, seasonal foliages, berries and candle light . Just gorgeous. And so here they are, Jemma's wedding flowers, I hope you like them.

Winter wrist corsage and buttonholes. Jemma had her bridesmaid holding the hands of the 2 page boys whilst walking down the aisle a la Pippa Middleton. So a wrist corsage fitted perfectly, I used Viburnum tinus berries to compliment the midnight colour of the dress. For the page boys I made a buttonhole of tiny spray roses and pine, small, lightweight and more robust than they look !  

Winter wrist corsage in silver,midnight and white. I used lisianthus, pine and viburnum tinus berry on a hand made silver bangle.

Winter buttonhole of Rose, pine and mini pine cones for the men

For the top table, Jemma chose to have a little bud vase of wedding themed designs for each place setting with scattered petals and tea lights in between. A lovely, modern alternative to the more traditional spray.
