Wedding of Danielle & Peter 29th May

Today was the Wedding of Danielle & Peter, I loved Danielle's choice of flowers & was looking forward to putting them all together. Their Wedding took place at the Yew Lodge Hotel in Kegworth. The weather was awful, I think it was my first wet Wedding.

Buttonholes of cream 'Vendella' Roses with variegated Ivy leaves.

The Mother of the Bride & Auntie of the Groom had a Corsage of Freesia & Sweet Peas to compliment their outfits.

The Bridesmaid's Bouquet of green Hydrangea, white Freesia, white Sweet Peas, pink 'Sweet Akito' Roses & lime green Viburnum.

All the Bouquets were finished with pale blue ribbon.

Danielle's Bouquet was a bigger version of the Bridesmaid's Bouquets & included white Peonies also. The picture doesn't really do it justice!

The Ladies Corsages packed & ready to go!

The Bouquets 'tissued up' & waiting to go!

The tables were decorated with a Goldfish bowl with a hand-tied posy of Peonies, Sweet Peas, Freesia, Viburnum, Roses & Hydrangea tied with blue ribbon & placed on the top of the bowl.

Danielle was then able to take the flowers out & give them to guests as presents.

The Back Room

Out the back of the shop our little storage room is full of the weekends Wedding flowers. I love it when it's full of flowers, this week we have cream & pink Roses, white Freesia, white Sweet Peas, green Hydrangea, Viburnum, white Peonies & other lovely bits & bobs!

Look out for pictures of the finished items, hopefully the weather will turn a little bit warmer again for the weekend.

Angie carried a hand-tied Bouquet of white 'Akito' Roses, 'Pacific Blue' Roses, purple Freesia, silver Bear Grass & Eucalyptus.
The 'Pacific Blue' Rose is lilac but always looks pink on photographs that I take!

The stems were bound with silver ribbon to match the theme of the Wedding.

The Bridesmaid's all carried a Wand made with a 'Pacific Blue' Rose, purple Freesia & silver Bear Grass loops. The stem was bound with silver ribbon & finished with a long trailing bow.

All packed & waiting to be collected!

Wedding of Laura & Steve 17th April 2010

Today was the Wedding of Laura & Steve.
I have been emailing Laura for well over a year before I meet her, she originally wanted Tulips & Cherry Blossom but that then changed to Peonies.
The Wedding was being held at Sutton Bonington Hall - my favourite venue! It was a glorious day so they would be able to make use of their fantastic gardens.

Laura's & her Bridesmaid's Bouquets

Bridesmaid's Hand-tied Bouquet of Ivory Peonies with variegated Hosta Leaves, the stems were bound with Ivory ribbon to match.

Laura's Bouquet was a Hand-tied of Ivory Peonies with a few very pale pink ones mixed in. Laura wanted the Peonies to be at different stages of opening to give the Bouquet some interest.

The Table Centres were placed on a mirrored plate & then Tea lights were be added as we left.

This plate was 40cm in diameter.

The Table Centres were a round arrangement in Oasis with Ivory Peonies, very pale pink Peonies, white Sweet Peas, blue Hydrangea, variegated Hosta leaves & I used the foliage from the Peonies.

The mantelpiece in the Ceremony room was decorated with small Vases in different sizes, each one had a single Peony head placed in it. There was a couple of picture frames being placed on there also.

The cake was decorated with a sprig of Hydrangea on the top & a Peony on the side to tie in with the Wedding theme.
