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

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.

Cute 'country' flowers

Pretty country flowers, perfect for a rural village wedding.
And the scent was heavenly, another happy bride x

Shabby chic wedding

A very pretty wedding in pinks and creams, shabby chic loveliness....

For the venue, the bride provided lots of lovely containers, which we then decorated with pretty flowers....

One of our favourite wedding bouquets

I was sorting through our wedding images and came across this beauty. This is one of our favourite bridal bouquets that we designed during the summer of last year. Love it.

A pink and black wedding

Something a little different to share with you, a pink and black themed wedding that we recently did. A big marquee, tall vases, fish bowls, pink chrysanthemum balls and black cala lilies. It looked fantastic.

The bridal bouquet..

And tied posies of dolce vita and amalia roses for the maids...

Vintage rose bouquets

Soft muted colours in my favourite flowers, peonies and roses . Perfect.

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
