Second Wedding - Vicki & Dean Saturday 30th May 2009

This Wedding caused a few stressful moments.
Vicki's colour theme was turquoise - not the most easiest colour to get a flower in & secondly the flower of choice was Gerbera. Defiantly not available in turquoise!
We decided after several trail runs that the best thing to do was to use a spray to get the colour that Vicki wanted.
I discovered that Gerbera's don't like to be sprayed turquoise when I really need them to! I tried to get organised & started to spray the Gerbera's two days before but they didn't quite make it so I lost rather alot of them.
Vicki was probably the most excited Bride I have meant so far & she knew exactly what she wanted so when she cane in the day before for a nosy I was quite nervous to see her reaction but the flowers were greeted with squeals & jumping. Phew!

The Bridesmaids wore turquoise dresses so they carried Hand-tied's of white Mini Gerberas with Diamantes placed in the centre. The stems were bound with turquoise ribbon to match their dresses.

Vicki only needed a small Bouquet as she was so dainty anything bigger would have drown her.

The Pew Ends were decorated with Gerbera, Rose & Hosta Leaf finished with white & turquoise bows.

The tables at the Reception were decorated with small Vases of Gerbera, Rose & Ting Ting sprayed turquoise. The Vase was filled with water beads.

Many congratulations to Vicki, Dean & their daughter Georgia.

Cheryl & Tom Friday 29th May 2009

This was the Weekend of scorchio weather, three Weddings & high blood pressure!

To start us off, we had the Wedding of Cheryl & Tom. the theme for their Wedding was white, green & a touch of red. The flowers were to be seasonal.

Cheryl wanted a wrist Corsage, so a wrist corsage is what she got!

I used a white Peony, Achemilla Mollis, bright red Hypericum berries with Salal Leaves on white ribbon.

This is what the Corsage looks like on the wrist.

Bridesmaid's Bouquet of 'Akito' Roses, white Peony, Achemilla Mollis & red Hypericum Berries.

I think the colours look great together.

The stems were bound with bright red ribbon.

From what I can remember the weather was fab, which is always a bonus when getting married in April!

The Wedding theme was red, purple & champagne.

David, the Groom, had a champagne coloured Rose, purple Lisianthus & purple Veronica Buttonhole.

The other male Buttonholes were champagne coloured Rose with purple Veronica & Greenery.

I bound the stems of the Bouquet with purple ribbon to match her dress.

Amy's Bouquet was a shower of 'passion' & champagne coloured Roses, purple Lisianthus, purple Veronica, small amount of white Lilies & the greenery was Asparagus Fern.
