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.

Hannah's Rustic Christmas Wedding Flowers, White Lion, Soberton

A beautiful rustic winter wedding that took place in the week after Christmas. Think small village church and village pub reception with roaring log fires and lots of candlelight. Just gorgeous

Hannah's beautiful bouquet of white roses in a mass of gypsophila. Very soft and very pretty. I love gypsophila for a winter wedding -it's has the look of snow !

Rustic winter buttonhole of gypsophila with twig and a twine finish to the stem. 

Bridesmaids' bouquets of massed gypsophila with the stems finished with twine for the rustic look.

Church pews with jars of gypsophila and candles. It was not possible to hang anything from these pews so the jars line the aisle and look just as pretty.

Table Centre of massed gypsophila in a jar decorated with jute and lace, the log, candles and pine cones finish the look.

That just leaves me to say thank you so much Hannah for asking me to design and create your wedding flowers for you, it was an absolute pleasure putting this very pretty rustic look together for you.

Kimberley's Nude-Blush, Autumn-Winter Wedding Flowers, New Place

A late November wedding, again proving just how beautiful wedding flowers for this time of year can be. The scheme is very natural using a mix of nude and blush roses, berries, thistles and seasonal foliages.

KImberley's bouquet, mixed nude and blush roses with salmon berries, silvery thistles and a touch of astilbe for an extra wintery feel.

Nude and blush rose bouquet with berries and thistles for the bridesmaids. The roses are Sahara and Quicksand.

Bridesmaids' and flower girl's posies, all boxed and ready to go.

Stunning candelabra design using roses and spray roses in nude-blush shades, mixed berries and foliages with ivy trails for a very natural, autumn-winter feel.

Wreath of mixed roses, spray roses and berries around a chunky candle makes a gorgeous low table centre for an autumn-winter wedding. Here we have mixed them with the tall candelabra designs for flower, colour and candlelight at every level.

Mixed high and low candle designs, candelabra and wreath flowers.

A different idea for the top table, mixed grouped candles and glasses of flowers all at differing heights with loose flower and berry in between. The design combined beautifully with the candelabra and wreath designs on the guest tables.

That just leaves me to say thank you so much Kimberley for asking me to design and create your wedding flowers for you. I absolutely loved working on this beautiful wintery scheme for you.

Nicole's Winter Wedding Flowers, Roses and Thistles, Highcliffe Castle and the Lord Bute Hotel

A beautiful wintery scheme using the ever popular roses and thistles as a base but given an extra wintery feel for Nicole's late November wedding. Who says November can't be a beautiful month for wedding flowers. 

Nicole's shower bouquet of roses, thistles, astilbe, viburnum tinus berries and mixed eucalyptus. A beautiful bouquet given a wintery feel by the use of the mixed silver eucalyptus, the winter berries and the touches of astilbe.

Bridesmaid's carried smaller posy style versions but without the astilbe.

Tiny flower girl posy of rose, spray rose, thistle and eucalyptus. 

Gorgeous buttonholes of rose, thistle, heather and eucalyptus for the men.

Rose, spray rose, heather and eucalyptus corsages for the ladies.

Stunning royal blue and ivory table centre using roses, spray roses, delphinium, green skimmia and eucalyptus in an elegant low pedestal bowl.

That just leaves me to say thank you so much Nicole for asking me to design and create your wedding flowers for you. I loved working on this seasonal scheme with it's shots of royal blue.

Hannah's Classic Wedding Flowers - Cain manor

A late November wedding that shows there is no need to have winter style wedding flowers at this time of year if that is not what you want. There are still plenty of very  beautiful flower choices around.

Natural style shower bouquet using Memory Lane and Metallina roses, pink freesias, spray rose and white bouvardia with natural foliages and ivy trails. Very beautiful

Simple Memory Lane rose and mixed foliage buttonholes for the remaining men.

Beautiful, trailing top table and ceremony table design using Memory Lane and Metallina roses, spray roses, freesias and bouvardia with natural mixed foliages and ivy trails. Designed to take a church candle in a lantern in between each section and at each end. 

That just leaves me to say thank you so much Hannah for asking me to design and create your wedding flowers for you and very many congratulations on your marriage.

Natalie's Autumn Wedding Flowers, New Place

Well the catching up isn't going too well but I have managed to sort a few shots to share from Natalie's lovely autumn wedding at New Place. Some lovely ideas here for anyone looking for inspiration for an autumn wedding.

Natalie's beautiful, white and green bouquet using roses, bouvardia and lisianthus with a little gyp and mixed foliage. 

Lanterns, candles and scattered rose petals used to decorate the aisle.

The view as the bride enters the Bristol room at New Place. The stunning fireplace looks amazing decorated with a trailing mantle design with candles and a pedestal design either side.

Fireplace flowers in whites and greens, simple, natural but still elegant. I've used roses, lisianthus, gyp, green skimmia, oak leaf and ivy trails to create the effect.

Gorgeous idea for an autumn table centre. Tall vase of curly twigs and lisianthus flowers. The table below is decorated with massed tea lights and scattered oak leaves to create a wonderfully warm autumn look.

Green Oak leaves make beautiful and very natural place cards.

Storm lanterns, candles and scattered oak leaves on the window ledges make the perfect finishing touch.

That just leaves me to say thank you so much Natalie for asking me to design and create your wedding flowers for you. I absolutely loved working on this lovely scheme and seeing all the ideas come together on the day for you.

Nicola's Country Style Wedding Flowers, Rhinefield House

I really should have posted the images of Nicola's flowers much sooner because if I say so myself, they really were rather beautiful. House move has a lot to answer for ! But better late than never - here they are.

Nicola's country style bouquet in soft blue, pink, lilac and ivory. I have used a few roses mixed with agapanthus, scabious, larkspur, stocks, freesias and wax flower. Some real english country garden favourites in there. The overall effect is soft, natural and very pretty.

A small comb of lisianthus, spray rose and wax flower for the bride's hair

Lady's buttonhole of rose, freesia, wax flower and rosemary.

For the bride's mum, a small spray of lisianthus, spray rose and wax flower designed to go on a small clutch bag.

The entrance porch at Rhinefield House, the stone ledge is decorated with candles all surrounded by wedding themed flowers in blues, dusky pinks and ivory. 

Stunning, tumbling flowers for the fireplace at Rhinefield House in pinks and blues. The hydrangeas are great for this job and look spectacular mixed with delphiniums, spray roses and mixed trailing foliages. Each section is separated by a large lantern containing a church candle. This is a large design but can always be scaled down for smaller mantles

The table centres were a co-ordinating mix of country style flowers in soft blues and dusky pinks in a wreath around a church candle in a storm lantern. Rhinefield House was made for candlelight and this type of design is a great option for anyone looking for low table centre ideas at this venue.

The same mix of flowers scaled up into a beautiful trailing design for the somewhat large fireplace in the Great Hall at Rhinefield. The overall effect of the 2 co-ordinating designs at different levels and all that candlelight is quite stunning.

A smaller, trailing design for the mantle in the Kings Room where the drinks reception was held. 

That just leaves me to say thank you so much Nicola for asking me to design and create your wedding flowers for you. As you can probably tell, I absolutely loved working on this beautiful and very natural scheme for you.
