Pink and Red Combo

Firstly,  a huge sorry for the lack of blog posts in the last month ! It has been a very busy few months with weddings, we have quite literally been working day and night to provide our beautiful brides with their dream wedding flowers . However fear not , I have a whole file of beautiful images to share with you over the next few weeks to show you all just what we have been up to.

The first on the list are these lovelies which were for a wedding at Tissington Hall . These luscious colours were to complement a navy colour scheme - I really love brides who do something a little bit different ! The bluey undertones of the pinks and reds really suited a dark rich colour.
This was another long distance bride, I met with the lovely Laura who was based in New York, only once before the wedding , however from the regular email chats, I felt i had a clear idea of the style she was looking for . We used lots of summer seasonal flowers, from garden roses to peonies, to stocks to sweet peas in the bouquets . For centrepieces Laura was keen to have low unstructured centrepieces , but to keep in the context of an historical setting we made them appear more elegant than rustic by using a low footed glass vase. I also wanted to take inspiration from old renaissance paintings, so added a few black grapes in also - can you spot them ?  Hope you like the images, thankyou for reading xx

Black and White Wedding

So these pretties kick started this years long list of wedding flowers .

Black and white themed, very classic, roses , rannuculus, bouvardia and freesia for the bouquets. Bound with black satin ribbon.

Rannuculus and hyacinth corsages for the ladies, roses and hyacinth buttonholes for the men.

Very dainty and elegant at the same time.

Making these got us very much in the mood, for the lovely wedding flowers to come x

Flower Corsages

Corsages, the ladies version of a buttonhole. So whats the difference?

A mans buttonhole tends to be smaller, fewer flowers, and is worn upright on the lapel, a corsage however is usually larger, more of a cluster of flowers , and can be worn on the lapel , wrist, handbag or even hat. If worn as a spray corsage on the lapel, the corsage is usually worn with the flowers facing downwards. Just like mens buttonholes, a corsage can be simple, more intricate, contemporary, traditional, small, large, and if worn as a wrist corsage, even more choices - such as will it be secured on a bracelet, ribbon, lace - decisions, decisions....and thats even before we start on colour and flower choice!

Traditionally, the mother of the bride and groom wear a corsage, but obviously nowdays, bridemaids use them sometimes instead of a bridesmaid bouquet ( i opted for this, for my wedding 6 years ago), and some brides extend further to grandparents, female ushers , friends, etc insuring all the bridal party attendants are a part of the wedding flowers preparations.

Here are a few of our corsages to give you ideas and to help keep the ladies happy.
