Aisle Flowers using simple bunches of Gyp
Today's wedding at St. Philips Church, Hove
Aisle flowers with simple white Gypsophila bunches tied with Satin Ribbon
Simple Gypsophila and vintage roses for an Autumn wedding
Also, 150 stems of White Gypsophila.
Gyp has been out of fashion for many years, used abundantly for weddings back in the 70's, it is now making a comeback following the current trend of Vintage style weddings.
Simple bunches tied with ribbon and attached to the chairs, will line the Aisle at St Phillips Church in Hove.
Old fashioned roses, with Sweet Avalanche and fragrant Eucalyptus for the marquee flowers at the reception afterwards.
Simple.
Informal.
Stylish.
Flowers - Who? What? Where?
Unsure of what flowers to have, who should have them and which ones to choose? Gone are the days when the bride carried only white flowers up the aisle! You can get married wherever you like and have whatever you like in your bouquet, on your tables, at the venue or in the church. It's completely up to you.
A mood board is always a good starting point, to create an overall theme. I recently went to see a potential bride who presented me with a folding board dotted with magazine pulls showing blocks of colour and actual fabric swatches and images of all the elements she wanted to include in her wedding.
I was overwhelmed! And very pleased, as this made my life extremely easy.
If you're going to stick with tradition, here's a general guide as to who, what and where.
BRIDE
What you wear on your big day will influence what style of bouquet but there's 3 basic types:
Hand-tied, Trailing and Overarm
GROOM
Buttonhole - usually he'll have something a bit special, using the main themed flower and another which matches the brides bouquet
All worn on their left lapel
MOTHERS
Although it's traditional for Mums to wear a corsage - this can be too overpowering and to be honest, out of all the weddings I've done this year, I haven't been asked to provide one!
CEREMONY
Depending on where you are getting married, this is a blank canvas including garlands, pedestals, columns, walls, windowsills, chairs. . . . the list is endless

RECEPTION
I would normally recommend that any moveable flowers (those not fixed to columns or arches) to be moved on to the reception venue to save money. In addition to that, table designs which could be anything from extravagent candelabras to simple vases or pots with a mixture of all the themed flowers.
GIFTS
As a thank you for all their help and support in planning your wedding, I'm sometimes asked to provide a 'living' bouquet for presentation to the Mothers of the Bride and Groom. They then have something to take home as a reminder of your special day.
