Wedding Flowers for Vintage and Cake

A few weeks ago another one of my lovely friends got married. Some of you may already know Julie who runs her cake and china hire business Vintage and Cake ( she may even have provided you with your wedding cake!)... well it was Julies turn to be the bride and what an amazing wedding it was.
Every little detail had been thought of, and the whole day was so personal to them, at the vows we all were blubbering !
Anyway i thought i woud share with you all of the lovely little details that made this wedding special


The beautiful bride, carrying a lovely bouquet that we made ,a mixture of 'meadow' style flowers...


In Julies bouquet, we used lots of small pretty informal flowers, such as lily of the valley, lavender, stocks, scabiosa, and combining them with beautiful garden roses. As a finishing detail we bound it with string to maintain the more rustic and informal feel of the wedding theme

Pretty basket that we filled with flowers for the entrance doorway...


Lovely wristcorsages, with lace for the bridesmaids....

The mens buttonholes were an informal cluster of astrantia and lavender which we bound with string for a more rustic feel...


Pretty marquee....


Lots of lovely bottles that Julie and Ben had collected , that we then filled with a mixture of informal flowers for the centrepieces...





Lots of lovely jamjars, tied with string were the finishing touch around the venue, including using as chair ends for the cermony.









Thankyou to Julie and Ben for asking us to be part of your wedding, both as a guest and florist -it was a fantastic day xx

Vintage Pinks In Autumn

Muted pinks are still a really popular colourscheme , however once summer has passed ,i think it's really nice to give them seasonal feel mixing in some lovely textures that are abundant this time of year. Here we included some lovely dark foliages, which just moved the 'feel' of the flowers from pretty vintage to more autumnal.
