Hollie's Classic green and white wedding flowers-Rhinefield House

For her  late summer wedding at Rhinefield House, Hollie choose a beautiful pale green and white colour scheme and a look that manages to be both modern and classic and absolutely full of flower, I loved it. To create it I used roses,hydrangeas, freesias, stocks, and double lisianthus with a little foliage and hypericum berry. And so here they are - Hollie's wedding flowers.


Classic buttonhole of Akito rose and double leaf for the men.


Bouquet of rose,freesia,lisianthus,hypericum berry and a touch of myrtle for Hollie. The lovely pale green lisianthus mixed with the white freesias and the Akito rose give it a gorgeous fresh look 


Pale green and white wedding bouquet with hypericum berries


Modern corsage of double white lisianthus and grass for the mums.


Ceremony and top table flowers in greens and whites using roses, hydrangeas,stocks and lisianthus. The design is long and low and I placed it on the ceremony table for Hollie's wedding and after the ceremony moved it so it could enjoy pride of place on the top table. 


Wedding flowers at Rhinefield House. Tall table centres of roses,hydrangeas,stocks and lisianthus in lovely fresh greens and whites with the top table behind. The base of the design and the length of the top table is decorated with scattered green lisianthus flowers and white rose petals for a lovely decadent touch that's just a little different.


Tall table centres at Rhinefield House, I kept all foliage pale and fresh green so they really stand out against the dark wood panelling. I also used 2 of these designs either side of the ceremony table on low tables for the wedding itself.



Top table flowers in greens and whites.


The remaining length of the top table was decorated with these little vases ( lined with leaf) of white hydrangea and looped grass ( which later doubled as gifts )and scattered lisianthus flowers in pale green  with ivory rose petals. 

That just leaves me to say thank you so much Hollie and Richard for choosing me to design and create your wedding flowers for you, I really loved putting this look together for you - And very many congratulations on your marriage.

Emma's green and white wedding flowers, Burley Manor

A very soft and pretty wedding in whites and greens, the look is both natural and modern too using gypsophila, roses and freesias with a touch of sparkle. 


Buttonhole of white rose, rosemary and gypsophila for the men.


Wedding bouquet of roses,freesias and gypsophila with rosemary, myrtle and diamante for our bride


Emma's wedding bouquet in whites and greens using avalanche roses, freesias, gypsophila,  a touch of fine foliage and diamante sprays to compliment the detail on her wedding gown.


Buttonholes of Akito rose with gypsophila and rosemary, boxed and ready to go.


Corsages of Akito rose with silver wire and crystal for the ladies and a buttonhole of lisianthus with rosemary and gypsophila for the children. Lisianthus are great flowers for this being smaller and lighter than your average rose but still blending in beautifully.


Chair backs of tied gypsophila for the wedding ceremony at the Burley Manor Hotel in the New Forest


The back row of the aisle decorated with tied designs of gypsophila with tulle on alternate chairs, all ready for Gary and Emma's wedding.



Modern tablecentres of gypsophila, rose and freesia with scattered leaves and table crystals for the wedding reception.



Fresh leaf place cards, a lovely finishing touch for Gary and Emma's natural wedding theme.


Fresh leaves and table crystals were also scattered along the length of the tables as a lovely and slightly more unusual finishing touch. Whilst this was a summer wedding the scattered leaves in autumnal colours look absolutely terrific for autumnal themed weddings.


For the top and ceremony table I created a beautiful long and low design of roses, freesias, lisianthus, gypsophila with rosemary and mixed foliages but unfortunately I could not get a photo, I finished the top table with these little mini designs which are proving extremely popular, scattered leaves and table crystals for a beautifully co-ordinated look. I have been promised some more photos and when they come in I will update this entry.

Meanwhile, that just leaves me to say thank you so much Gary and Emma for choosing me to design and create your wedding flowers for you, I loved working on this fresh and pretty scheme for you. Very many congratulations on your marriage and I hope you have a fabulous trip, it sounded amazing.

Alison's pale green and white wedding flowers, Potters Heron, Ampfield

I loved Alison's choice of colours, deep dark chocolate combined with fresh pale green and white, perfect for a warm summers day. The look was totally classic yet modern too and I really loved working on this gorgeous little wedding. So - here they are - Alison's wedding flowers.

For the ceremony room at the Potters Heron Hotel, I placed two standard bay trees decorated with fairy lights either side of the ceremony table.

All done.

Jo's Spring Wedding Flowers, Wardour Castle


You hear alot about "journeys" these days and seemingly we all need to go on one. So when I got the chance to prepare a floral scheme for Jo's wedding at the very beautiful Wardour Castle, I couldn't resist it. A little out of my normal area though it is, it took nearly three hours to get there !! Over the tank crossings of Salisbury plain I went, past Stonehenge ( don't mention the roadworks !!) through tiny villages, narrow roads, via Jo's mums and then seemingly into the middle of nowhere after a little "are you sure exchange" with the sat nav. Then, just like in the films the castle appeared. In no time we had it all set up for Jo's wedding and the "journey" was all so very worth it. 


Green and white spring bouquet of roses, paperwhites and ivy trails for Jo's Bridesmaid. Perfect for the natural, english spring time look we settled on in our discussions. The paerwhites are gorgeous little flowers and have a beautiful scent, winter brides might like to know they become available in December.


Jo's  Spring wedding bouquet. Roses, paperwhites, and a surround of mixed green foliages including asparagus fern for a really lovely natural look perfect for a wedding in the stunning setting that is Wardour Castle. It looked just beautiful with Jo's gorgeous lace dress.   


Buttonhole of scented paperwhites and ruscus leaves.


Wardour Castle, such a fabulous place for a wedding. The observant will notice it has no roof so there were many prayers and crossed fingers for a fine day. Thankfully, we were lucky.


The pavillion by the lake where the wedding ceremony takes place, decorated with 2 free standing designs of roses, paperwhites, double lisianthus and mixed green foliages. 



Wardour castle,well wedding flowers, a floral tree. 
The courtyard (open air) was used for the drinks reception. In the centre is a well which Jo was keen to make a feature of. In keeping with natural, english spring time theme and with the courtyard I suggested a floral tree. Large roses, paperwhites and double lisianthus with mixed green foliages and ivy trails were used to make it and around the rim of the well I placed co-ordinating designs in flower pots.

The floral tree, another view because at this venue there were so many beautiful shots I couldn't choose !


Jo's flower pot designs, used here to decorate the well and later moved and used as table centres for the reception. 



The flower pots, now table centres at the Langton Arms. 


Jo's wedding cake flowers, I used roses, paperwhites and lisianthus with fern to create the look. 

I hope you like the photos.

 It just leaves me to say thank you so much Jo for choosing me to design and create these flowers for you. I really loved working on this scheme for you and putting it all together at the Castle. And very many congratulations on your marriage, you looked completely gorgeous.

Charlotte's Wedding Flowers, Classic green and white



Charlotte's wedding bouquet of ivory and pale green roses, white freesia, pale green lisianthus and a touch of myrtle. A timeless, classic and scented design made with flowers that are available all year round and I love the colours, just gorgeous for an early Spring wedding. 

Mum's corsage of double lisianthus and myrtle. A perfect little flower for corsages being light and good out of water.



Classic wedding bouquet of pale green and ivory roses, freesias, lisianthus and a touch of myrtle for our gorgeous bride.


Bridesmaids' posies of roses, freesias and lisianthus. Here we used all ivory roses with the pale green provided by the lisianthus. so the bouquets co-ordinated beautifully but did not match Charlotte's exactly.


Charlotte's flower girl carried this lovely little silver wire petal basket with added pale green lisianthus. 



Silver candelabra surrounded by little silver pots of roses for the reception at New Place. These little pots of flowers are proving extremely popular, here they provide the flowers on the table for guests to enjoy while the candelabra provide the impact. With all the candles lit, the effect is magical and it's an absolutely lovely look for a February wedding. 


The Arden Suite at New Place with all the table centres complete. The top table was decorated with the Bride's and bridesmaids' bouquets, tea lights and little silver pots of roses.



I loved this shot, the party might be over and the tables cleared but how gorgeous does it look with all those candles lit ?

That just leaves me to say thank you so much Charlotte for choosing me to design and create your wedding flowers for you and for sharing your photos, it was an absolute pleasure working with you. And very many congratulations on your marriage.
