Green Rustic Wedding

This lovely wedding was organised via email and telephone, as our bride Suzanne lives in Sydney . Infact the first time we met, was on the wedding day itself !

Suzanne wanted rustic, organic looking flowers, with lots of interesting green textures . We decorated these jamjars with garden twine, which were to be placed on the tables at one of our local venues Donington Park Farmhouse Hotel . The bridal bouquet completed the whole look with lots of lovely flowers and foliages including hydrangea, lotus seed heads, celosia and hypericum berries, again bound in string. I really like this theme, hope you enjoy looking at the images below .

( And remember just like Suzanne ,if you are a bride reading this, who currently lives abroad but are planning a Uk wedding dont worry we can still help you via the wonderful world of email, skype, FaceTime or a good old fashioned phonecall )

Pretty Shabby Chic Wedding

This lovely wedding was held in the late spring at St Marys in Rolleston on Dove, and Newton Park Hotel . Very pretty, shabby chic, country wedding flowers. 

The two things i love the most about this wedding, was the lovely little clusters of spray roses we attached along the top table, and secondly the length of Tashas dress. I love prom length dresses . 

Another pretty wedding for a very pretty bride. 

Peach Wedding Flowers - Packington Moor

This pretty wedding was held last month at St Marys church at Rolleston on Dove, and then at the lovely Packington Moor ( see our last blog post for another wedding at this venue) .
Our bride Kimberley asked us to use peaches and whites, which looked so soft and pretty complementing against the pale bluey/green duck egg coloured bridesmaid dresses. David Austin 'Juliet' was one of the key flowers in this wedding, in my opinion a girl can never go wrong with a David Austin rose. Tis a fact.

Thanks to Daniel Norton Photography for coming along and taking these images for us. 

Spring Wedding Flowers - Packington Moor

This lovely wedding took place back in April at the gorgeous Packington Moor , and happened to be for my sister in law Jo, and future brother in law Rich.

To coordinate with the blue bridesmaid dresses, and also to compliment the beautiful barn setting, Jo asked for rustic seasonal flowers, and heres what we came up with. I really love this colour scheme, perfect for a spring wedding. 

The bridal and bridesmaids bouquets were bound with natural raffia.

Cute little mens buttonholes of daisies and muscari.

To line the aisle , we made lovely little buckets of flowers.

Here they are before we delivered them to the venue, on the stairs in my shop . )  I definately think we should do this all the time in the shop :)

Milk churns with informal white and green flowers were placed at the entrance of the ceremony room. You will be seeing alot more of these milk churns in upcoming blog posts, we have hired them many times this year.

The happy couple and their bridesmaids ( yes sadly it did rain)...

And one last one, of me and my hair ! I dont normally post pictures of myself on the blog but thought this may give a little bit of inspiration for hair flowers. I love lily of the valley, so really wanted to wear it in my hair for the wedding.
