Dare to be different

Its always nice when Im asked to coordinate flowers with a more unusual dress or theme, and this was certainly one cool bride. Opting away from the norm, Jacqueline wore a 50's purple prom style wedding dress , which for me meant a nice full handtied bouquet to coordinate. We kept the bouquet nice and natural of course, but adding in abit of soft colour to highlight, and i think these great images show it worked perfectly!.
Thanks Jaqueline for the great pics ! x

Autumn Weddings

I love autumn . After spring , it is my favourite time of year. For florists, it means a burst of colours such as oranges, red, limes, browns that are not used that often, and lovely textured materials to work with like berries, twigs and beautiful colourful foliages.

We have a few autumn weddings coming up which i will do my best to take pics of, although with the duller light it is not easy for a novice photographer!

Here are pictures of some of the table centrepieces our first autumn wedding opted for.

Tall trumpet vases bursting with seasonal flowers and foliages, and coordinating fishbowls for the top table. Very dramatic against the white background of a marquee.

A quick turnaround.....

The story.... bride lives in australia, bride is not returning home until the week of the wedding, florist has one week to interpret theme & select dream wedding flowers.

The brief.... flowers to compliment bridesmaids dress colour of russett (a lovely but tricky colour pinky/coral/brown), flowers must appear rustic, yellow to be brought into centrepieces to tie in with places names and other table decoration.

Hope you liked what we came up with
