Beth's Contemporary Wedding Flowers, Rhinefield House

For her wedding at Rhinefield House Beth chose an orange and gold scheme. The flowers were to be  bright, bold and modern using orange lilies - and only orange lilies - mixed with lots of green foliages, a touch of gold and lots of candlelight. Wonderfully atmospheric.
 And so here they are - Beth's wedding flowers
  

Modern buttonhole of small orange lily with gold ting ting for the groom.

Beth's contemporary wedding bouquet of orange lilies with a touch of gold ting ting and a surround of fatsia leaves.  

Contemporary wedding bouquet of lilies. I also put a lily and some gold ting ting on a wire for Beth's hair, she looked completely amazing. 

Modern bouquets of ivory lilies and gold ting ting for the bridesmaids who were in orange tea length dresses with an ivory net underskirt. Gorgeous.

Modern buttonholes of alstromeria for the men

Corsage of alstromeria and ruscus leaves for the mums.

Orange lily and foliage wand style posy with a touch of gold ting ting for the flower girl.

The Wedding ceremony flowers at Rhinefield House. The table was decorated with a long and low design of orange lilies, church candles, mixed foliages and gold ting ting and either side I placed a co-ordinating pedestal design.

The ceremony flowers moved to the top table for the wedding breakfast.

Candelabra designs at Rhinefield House of orange lilies, gold ting ting and trails of ivy wound down to the table for the guest tables. 

Beth's wedding flowers at Rhinefield House, the bride's view from the top table, with all those candles lit it would have looked quite magical. Whilst Beth had a mid summer wedding, this is a gorgeous look for an autumn or winter wedding too. The lilies are available all year round and all pollen stamens are removed to avoid the risk of staining. Whilst some people find the oriental lilies a problem in view of the strong scent, here I have used an asiatic variety which have no perfume.  

That just leaves me to say, thank you so much much Beth for choosing me to design and create your wedding flowers for you, I loved working on these bright, bold and modern designs for you and very many congratulations on your marriage.

Jo's Autumn Wedding Flowers

Jo's natural styled autumn wedding flowers.

Groom's autumn buttonhole of creamy vendella rose with berry and red oak leaf detail.

Jo's stunning wedding bouquet of cream roses, autumnal berries, birch twig and a surround of red oak leaves.

Natural styled rose and red oak leaf buttonhole for the remaining groom's men.


Co-ordinating buttonholes of preserved rose hips, birch twig and magnolia leaves. All materials are dried or preserved so that they could be kept after the wedding.

These corsages are again made entirely of dried or preserved materials - rose, magnolia leaves, skeleton leaves and peppercorn berries.

These preserved buttonholes and corsages were ordered by the bride's mum whose family comes from Malta. We were asked to create designs that would co-ordinate with the other flowers but that were made wholly from preserved or dried materials so that they be taken back to Malta after the wedding and kept as mementoes of the day.

The reception was held in a Mongolian yurt. Now I have to confess to not having seen these before meeting Jo but I have to say I think they look terrific and I am sure they will catch on fast. The cream canvas with the deep dark wood frame was the inspiration behind Jo's rich autumnal colour scheme and strong natural look. A mongolian buffet where all the food is placed in the centre of the each table meant traditional table centres were not going to work. Each table was scattered with fresh red oak leaves as a gorgeous alternative that tied in perfectly with the bridal party flowers.

Bridesmaids' bouquet of cream roses, hypericum berry, twig and surround of red oak leaves.

To keep the strong natural look, the binding point of the bouquet is finished not with ribbon but with a red oak leaf. The same leaf finish was given to the buttonholes.

Co-ordinating design for the flower girl.

Many thanks Jo and Zane for choosing me to design and create your wedding flowers for you. I loved working with these gorgeous seasonal materials.

The two bridesmaids carried classic bouquets of rich creamy "Vendella" roses.

A mum's corsage of cream rose with mixed black feathers, co-ordinating perfectly with her black feather fascinator.

Our very lovely bride with the sunlight gently falling on those roses.

Tall, autumn themed tablecentres perfect for the Great Hall in Rhinefield House. Penelope had fallen in love with this lovely low,graceful spreading shaped design. We loved it too. To create the look we used mixed orange roses, hypericum berries, red tipped hydrangea, mixed foliages and trails of red amaranthus. The design was sat on a mirror plate decorated with scattered fresh rose petals and vanilla candles to gently scent the room.

Autumn wedding flowers at Rhinefield House, a mix of tall and low table centres looks lovely.

This photo by Amy Wass shows what a lovely atmosphere all the flowers and all that candlelight created for the wedding reception, the tall table centres are tall enough for guests to talk freely to each other across the table 

Penelope made all her own table place and menu cards, we loved them. 

That just leaves me to say very many congratulations Penelope and Daniel on your marriage and thank you so much for choosing me to design and create your wedding flowers for you. I loved working on your strongly autumnal themed and very elegant designs.

Wendy's bouquet of Roses Avalanche and Akito, freesia, pale green double lisianthus, green hypericum and the delicate berried myrtle.

Boxed and ready to go

For her reception Wendy had the tables arranged in an open square so we created coordinating designs in cylinder vases of differing sizes to alternate down the lengths. Each length had one medium vase and two mini designs. This is one of the mini designs tied and bound with a fresh leaf.

The medium vases, all boxed and ready to go to the Montague Arms in Bealieu.

Thank you Wendy for choosing us to design and create these lovely autumn flowers for your wedding and very many congratulations on your marraige.
