Rustic Gypsophila was the look Jenna chose for her beautiful wedding breakfast at the East Horton Golf Club. Masses of soft and pretty gyp, with natural string, burlap and card. Just gorgeous.

Pippa's Bright and Beautiful Wedding Flowers, Trafalgar Park.

Sorry it's been a while since my last post. I haven't had my feet up  ! I have been kept exceptionally busy on the flower front and all else has got a little behind.  Just so you know I am still around and working, here are  a few shots from Pippa's lovely wedding at Trafalgar Park. I will write a bit about the designs soon and lots more lovely weddings  follow.

Pippa's bouquet of pale and strong pink roses, lilac freesia and purple lisianthus, the 4 colours her bridesmaids were wearing. The pink astilbe, asparagus fern and the touch of foliage give the bouquet that soft vintage feel Pippa loved. 

Bridesmaids' vintage style posies of pale pink rose, purple lisianthus, lilac freesia and strong pink spray rose. A smaller version of the bridal bouquet. Each bridesmaid was in a different colour but the same dress, they carried posies using all 4 colours to bring the look together.

Vintage style buttonholes of Sweet Avalanche rose, astilbe and purple lisianthus for teh men.

For the ladies, a co-ordinating design but using the strong pink spray rose.

Ceremony flowers at Trafalgar Park, a wedding themed long and low design of pale pink roses, purple lisianthus, lilac freesia and strong pink spray rose with astilbe and mixed vintage style foliages.

Table Centre with fan for the table name. Now there is a story behind this design, Pippa and her husband met through Hampshire Regency Dancing and this was the group's first wedding. Each table is named after a Regency Dance and the fan was a perfect way to display the table names. The fan is held by a small vase containing Pippa's flowers to give the table a splash of colour.

Fan, place name - perfect.

Last but not least, the tiered wedding cake made by the groom's mum with the space between each tier filled with pink, purple and lilac flowers. Very striking.

That just leaves me to say, thank you so much Pippa for asking me to design and create your wedding flowers for you. It was an absolute pleasure working on the mix of bright colour and soft vintage style.

Ali's Very Natural, Ivory, Purple and Teal Wedding Flowers with a touch of Wild

Ali described herself as "a bit of a hippy at heart", a tall willowy bride in a long flowing Jenny Packham Dress -  this called for something a bit different. I love something a bit different ! The colours are purple, teal, silver and ivory  and the style, very natural with a hint of wild. Nothing to formal or to structured. 

Trailing and very natural, tied bouquet in purples,ivory, silver and deep green using roses, lisianthus, passion flower and astilbe with silver eucalyptus and loops and trails of ivy. 

Purple, ivory, silver and deep green country style bouquet using Dolomiti roses, purple lisianthus, astilbe, eucalyptus and passion flower with loops of ivy. For Ali's bridesmaid.

Buttonhole of Dolomiti rose and deep green ivy leaf for the men.

And for the ladies, a corsage of ivory rose, spray rose, astilbe and ivy leaf. 

Lastly, a close up of Ali's bouquet, a gorgeous mix of  ivory roses,purple lisianthus and astilbe with long trails of eucalyptus, ivy and passion flower. 

I had a lovely note from Ali after our initial meeting thanking me for " achieving the impossible - making me excited about my flowers" And an equally gorgeous text after the wedding because she absolutely loved her flowers and her bouquet. That meant so much - to know that you can inspire people to love flowers even when they thought that was not possible.Like men, there is a bouquet for everyone, even those who had given up !

On that, I will just say thank you so much Ali for asking me to design and create your wedding flowers for you. I really did love working on these gorgeous and very natural designs for you and I am so glad they were loved so much.
