Caroline's Garden Look, Apricot and Green Wedding Flowers, Burley manor

Post are like buses, nothing for ages then 2 at once, sorry ! Truth is, I have been working my little socks off  lately with lots of gorgeous weddings and not sat at home with my feet up and as a result the photography has got all a bit behind to say the least. Do bear with me though because I do have some very fabulous weddings to show you and to start, here are Caroline's.

Natural,trailing bouquet in apricots, greens and whites using roses, spray roses, lisianthus, astrantia, freesia, lily of the valley and ivy trails. I have to say Caroline's bouquet smelt absolutely gorgeous and I was very sorry to part with it. 

Bridesmaid's bouquet of Pearl Avalanche roses, pale apricot spray roses, white freesia and astrantia, pale green lisianthus and a little foliage for that natural garden look. I love the blend of colours here and I have to say the Pearl Avalanche rose is proving to be a bit of a winner.

Groom's buttonhole of Pearl Avalanche rose, astrantia and foliage.

The conservatory at the Burley Manor Hotel full of flowers ready for the wedding breakfast. Tall designs of roses, spray roses, lisianthus and astrantia look right at home in this setting. The stems of the stands have been decorated with trails of ivy and tumbling flowers for added effect. Loving the avenue effect here. 

Tall elegant table centre of nude roses, spray roses, pistachio lisianthus and white astrantia with ivy trails. The colour blend looks amazing with the decor of the Burley Manor Hotel

Trailing, top table design with candles using Pearl Avalanche roses, pale apricot spray roses, white freesia and astrantia, pale green lisianthus, mixed foliages and ivy trails for that natural garden look

Top Table Flowers, the detail with Caroline's "Just Married " sign.

That just leaves me to say thank you so much Caroline for asking me to design and create your wedding flowers for you, I absolutely loved working on this gorgeous scheme for you and I am so glad you loved your flowers so much.

First off a huge thank you to the very lovely Mia of Mia Photography for sharing her stunning photographs of this wedding. Without MIa's help I would not have been able to share any images of this lovely village fete themed wedding thanks to a corrupted SD card. Note to self - carry a spare !

Vintage style buttonholes boxed and waiting for the men. One of 4 images my camera decided to save !

Emma's Striking Blue-Turquoise _ White Wedding Flowers, Gosport Submarine Museum

I am so sorry it's been so long, things had got so hectic and flower photos had got all behind. Then, last night I had the most lovely email from Judith thanking me for all the work I do on my blog as it had given her some wonderful ideas for her own wedding. It's so good to know that so newly inspired and feeling a little guilty, I am sharing a few photos from Emma's recent wedding

Tear drop bouquet of lilies and singapore orchids for Emma in blue-turquoise and white. Very striking.

For the bridesmaids, a modern bouquet of white oriental lilies with silver ting and ting and a surround of fatsia leaves. 

Striking tall table centre of white lilies and blue-turquiose singapore orchids with palm leaves and mixed exotic foliages. The centre of the vase is decorated with a stem of singapore orchid for added impact. The colours were just gorgeous with the turquoise- aquamarine chair sashes

That just leaves to say, thank you so much Emma for choosing me to design 

 and create your wedding flowers for you, it was an absolute pleasure and very many congratulations on your marriage.

Vintage Style Bouquet photographed by LucyLou Photography

Sunday I spent a very lovely day at the East Horton Wedding Fayre, as luck would have it next to the very lovely Lucy from Lucy Lou Photography in Hamble. This post is for lovers of all things vintage, my vintage styled bouquet photographed in Lucy's very own vintage style.

Vintage styled bouquet of Upper Secret roses, white bouvardia, rosemary and eucalyptus. I love the dusky vintage tones of the pink roses and green-grey foliages and photographed by Lucy vintage style it looks amazing. 

Same bouquet with the filters off for comparison

I love this shot of the lace wrap which is the perfect finishing touch to this vintage styled bouquet.

The buttonhole that matched, Dusky pink Upper Secret rose with bouvardia, rosemary and asparagus fern.

I will post more photos from the fayre later but meanwhile, a huge thank you to Lucy for these gorgeous bouquet images. If you are looking for a photographer for your wedding, I really would take a look at Lucy's web site

It takes a very special eye and a huge amount of skill to take beautiful photographs and if you are a lover of the vintage style you will absolutely love Lucy's gorgeous images. Having spent a day in her company I can vouch that she is a very lovely person too. 

Karen's Fun and Wild Wedding Flowers, Avington Park

I have to say I had a lot of fun working on these gorgeous designs for Ian and Karen's March Wedding at Avington Park. The colours were a gorgeous rich mix of burgundy, fresh spring green and silver and the look was very natural - almost wild. It was important to create a sense of fun for the wedding breakfast so we worked on some very different table ideas - each one different but all with same very natural look. 

Karen's bouquet, a very natural almost wild shower bouquet in burgundy, green and silver using calla lilies, ranunculus, singapore orchids, freesias, viburnum opulus and eucalyptus.

Bouquet in deep burgundy, spring green and silver for the bridesmaids, the same natural almost wild look using calla lilies, ranunculus, singapore orchid, viburnum opulus, ornithogalum, curly twig and eucalyptus.
