Wedding Flowers Spring, Tove and Tim, Balmer Lawn

A lovely sunny spring wedding in the New Forest for which I was asked to create flowers in a natural country style and with a strong Spring in the Forest theme

Tulip buttonhole. This is a gorgeous frilled edge variety called "Honeymoon" and here we have combined it with a little evergreen jasmine to give it the natural country look Tove was looking for.

Tove's wedding bouquet of spring flowers in whites and yellows, a natural country look and a trailing style perfect for a spring wedding in the New Forest. To create it I combined  tulips, iris, lily of the valley, freesia, ornithogalum and trails of evergreen jasmine and it smelt absolutely gorgeous. I have to say I was sad to part with it !

I really love these close up pictures of Tove's wedding bouquet kindly sent by her New Forest based photographer, the lovely  Barry Whitcher of www.photosbybw.co.uk. Photographing flowers is a real art in itself and I thought these shots were absolutely stunning so thank you Barry.

My photo of Tove's wedding bouquet  all boxed and ready to go.

Our lovely bride with her bouquet.

For the ceremony table we created this long and low trailing design of tulips, iris and freesia with natural country style foliages. A design also very suitable for top tables and fireplaces/mantlepieces.

Basket of spring flowers in whites and yellows for the tables. The dark chocolate of the salim basket shows off the flowers perfectly and was just the thing to help give the table centres the natural, country style, Spring in the Forest look the bride and groom wanted for their wedding.I placed them on the tables used for the drinks reception and they were then moved to the tables for the sit down meal.

 

For another wedding featuring spring wedding flowers have a look at these pages on my main web site.http://www.fioribylynne.co.uk/featured-wedding-flowers_spring01.html

That just leaves me to say thank you so much Tove and Tim for choosing me to design and create your wedding flowers for you, I loved this working with all those beautiful Spring flowers to create this naturally sunny Spring look and very many congratulations on your marriage.

Pink peonies, mixed roses and trails of ivy make a lovely wedding bouquet and this hand tied style with trails of ivy is a lovely modern alternative to a full shower bouquet.

My shot of the bridesmaids' bouquets of roses, freesias and gypsophila topped off with a delicate feather butterfly. Lovely and fresh for mid summer.

A lovely natural photo of the bridesmaids entering the church, I loved the way the bouquets combined with their fresh mint dresses.

Georgia's Wedding Flowers,Hayfever free

For Georgia's wedding, we were asked to recommend flowers that could be carried by a bride that suffers from hayfever -very badly. Georgia loves flowers and loved the natural, almost country look and having chosen bridesmaids' dresses in purple was keen on an ivory and lilac colour scheme. To get the look and to keep Georgia looking and feeling her best for her wedding, we recommended hydrangea, which being sterile is safe for hayfever sufferers, orchids, which being completely pollen free are also safe and a few roses. Commercially grown roses should be absolutely fine but not to take any chances we kept their use in Georgia's bouquet to a minimum. Here are the results.

The groom's buttonhole, a gorgeous lightly scented lilac rose called Pacific Blue with singapore orchids.

Buttonholes of rose with ruscus leaves for the remaining men.

The mums wore corsages of singapore orchids with grasses and ruscus leaves.

The bridesmaids' bouquets of hydrangea with loops of variegated ivy and sprays of delicate iridescent beads, boxed and ready to go.

Here we have a few shots of Helen's mid summer wedding bouquets and buttonholes incorporating all of her favourite things. We did the reception flowers too, these follow. Images of venue flowers are very difficult for us florists. Less than perfect lighting = very big problem for amateur photographer / florist and lead to horrible photos ! This time we were lucky enough to have someone infinately better at the task than me so now the problem is choice. So I will work my way through the wonderful images I have been given and I will upload my favourites for you to see shortly.

Meanwhile, we would like to say thank you Helen for choosing us to design and create these flowers for your wedding. It was a pleasure working with you and your chosen flowers. And very many congratulations on your marriage.
