Becky's Wintery Wedding Flowers, Solent Spa

 Becky was keen to have a very natural wintery look for her flowers but avoiding anything Christmassy. The wedding was the week before Christmas and the wish to avoid the Christmas look is not uncommon. So if you are a winter bride looking for a seasonal look without the Christmas touches, this post is for you.

Becky's beautiful wintery bouquet in whites, creams and silvers using roses,spray roses, anemones, brunnia, wax flower and senecio. Very natural, very wintery but no traces of Christmas.

Co-ordinating bouquets of ivory roses, cream spray roses, brunnia, wax flower and the silvery senecio for the bridesmaids. 

Buttonhole of white rose, bruwnia and eucalyptus for the groom.

Stunning, wintery candelabra flowers in pale pinks, silver and whites, very loose and natural. I've used soft pink roses, cream spray roses, white anemones and berries, wax flower and mixed silver toned foliages to create the look. The ivy trails are the perfect finishing touch.

Co-ordinating wreaths of roses, berries, wax flower and silver foliages around a candle makes a lovely co-ordinating low design for a few of the tables. Mixing the heights like this helps give colour, flower and candlelight at different levels and the overall effect can be just stunning.

That just leaves me to say thank you so much Becky for asking me to design and create your wedding flowers for you. It was an absolute pleasure working on this beautiful, natural, and wintery scheme for you.

Abbey's Contemporary Red and Pink Wedding Flowers

A lovely bright scheme for a February wedding. The groom loved scarlet and the bride loved pink, they both wanted a bright, modern look - a bit funky if you like so we followed the catwalk trend and combined hot pink with scarlet using gerberas and roses for a lovely, bright, young and modern look. And so here they are Abbey's wedding flowers;

Bouquet of pink roses with red gerberas, bouvardia, looped grass and a foliage surround for Abbey.

Modern buttonhole of scarlet gerbera with grass and a band of hot pink ribbon for the groom. 

Bridesmaids' bouquets of ivory germini with spires of grass and finished with a hot pink ribbon bow and trails

Gerbera chair backs, alternating red and pink. A simple, fairly inexpensive touch that adds a real shot of colour.

Wedding flowers at the Solent Spa Hotel.

Tall, contemporary table centres of Gerberas and grass. I used bright red Gerberas with the smaller hot pink germini to create the look. The vase was placed on a mirror plate decorated with hot pink germinis and tea lights. 

Low table centre of red and pink gerberas on a mirror plate. The tall table centres were mixed with these low designs to give a splash of colour at every level. 

Modern, top table flowers, vases of red gerberas on red ribbon with hot pink gerberas and tea lights spaced in between.

That just leaves me to say thank you so much Abbey for choosing me to design and create your wedding flowers for you. I loved working on this gorgeous bright and sunny scheme. Nothing like the sight of Gerberas to make you smile !

Thank you too to Abbey's mum and dad for such a lovely thank you card, I am so glad the flowers were such a hit.

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
