The wedding took place at the Crockstead Farm Hotel, Hallam Nr Lewes on what turned out to be a fabulously sunny October day. Louisa rang me a couple of weeks previously following a referral from her local flower shop.
As a freelance workshop based florist, my busiest time for weddings is usually during Spring & Summer, so I can normally accommodate late comers during the 'off peak' months running up to and including Christmas!
Louisa didn't have a colour theme, as such, but mentioned that she liked the idea of using blue flowers and also mentioned that Casey's favourite colour was orange - a particular favourite of mine and a winning colour combination!
Louisa's dress was fitted and stunning, with some subtle diamante embellishment which I incorporated into the bouquet design by securing the hand-tied design with double satin ribbon and diamante pins.
The ceremony was taking place at the Crockstead Farm Hotel, a romantic venue nestled in the heart of the beautiful Sussex countryside, so the Bride chose a country-style, naturally hand-tied bouquet using a mixture of blue and orange flowers, with fragrant foliage including flowering mint and Eucalyptus. Louisa's two adult bridesmaids held a smaller bouquet using the same flowers.
Buttonholes were supplied for the Groom and Groomsmen, chosing flowers from the main bouquet with smaller accent flowers and matching foliage.
Flowers Used: Delphinium, Crocosmia, Freesia, Eustoma, Alstromeria, September Flowers, Veronica, Flowering Mint & Eucalyptus Parvifolia

Wedding Flowers for May
Charlotte had a bouquet of Avalanche Roses with a collar of looped beargrass and her SIX bridesmaids had a posy of Avalance and Hypnose roses with looped Beargrass - all tied off with cream satin ribbon and secured with diamante pins.
The groom wore a double rose buttonhole with jasmine and Senecio foliage; his groomsmen wore single Avalanche buttonholes.

| Holly and Ivy Door Wreath |
I get great pleasure making wreaths, whether it's for a wedding, funeral or Christmas, they all have the same sentiment - the circle of life.
A tradition thought to have started in ancient Rome, Christmas Door wreaths are formed in a circle to signify eternity and hung on the front door to represent happiness and luck for the New Year.
Each Christmas wreath is constructed by hand onto a wire frame, bound with fresh moss and decorated with fresh evergreens. Designed to be hung outside, they last well into the New Year as long as they're sprayed with a mist of water every couple of days.
I have a selection of traditional rustic designs to choose from, or if you have a specific colour/theme, I'm happy to create a bespoke design.
