Wedding Flowers for a Late Spring Wedding

Here's some ideas for a late Spring wedding, using a mix of seasonal flowers and foliage and some old favourites which are available all year round.

A popular request for this year, a romantic over the arm bouquet using strong contrasting colours and super fragrant Eucalyptus.  This style of bouquet suits a slender cut dress and great for taller brides.

 

A small hand tied bridesmaid posy suitable for flowergirls and younger bridesmaids, using white Avalanche roses and Hosta leaves bound with ivory organza ribbon, secured with diamante pins.

It's traditional for the groom's buttonhole to pick out one of the main flowers of the bride's bouquet.  Here's an old favourite using an orange mini Gerbera with a small Hosta leaf for foliage.

Moving onto the wedding venue, it seems that simple is the key word this season with Gypsophilia making a resurgence.  Here's some simple tied bunches which decorated the aisle chairs for a wedding I did in St Phillips Church in Hove.

And for the reception, simple square glass vases with a hint of Brighton beach using orange mini gerberas.

 

 

A tall vase filled with seasonal flowers is perfect for your cake table.  Here a simple vase filled with glass marbles, sets off an arrangement of beautiful blue Delphiniums, steel grass and heart shaped hosta leaves.

And, for a finishing touch you could add fresh flowers to your place settings.  Here I've used a white Avalance rose wired together with small Delphinium florets, to create this pretty napkin tie.

Flowers for a Brighton Wedding (Part 2)

Early start to prepare 8 large bubble bowls which are going to be the centrepiece on round tables at the restaurant for Victoria & Wayne's wedding on Friday.

Each bowl has pebbles placed in the base - aptly themed as the restaurant overlooks the sea and Brighton's famous pebble beach! A single stem of Mero Star Lilies is securely placed into a pin holder and carefully covered with water in the base.

Hindered slightly by the neighbour's friendly cat, who was very interested in the empty boxes in my workshop, I managed to finish all eight bowls by lunchtime!

All now ready and smelling divine, waiting to be packed back in their boxes and transported to the restuarant for setting up on Friday - minus the cat - who is still jumping in the boxes!

Next, after a quick sandwich and checking emails, I selected the flowers for the bridesmaids.  Victoria chose elegant white Avalanche roses, which are going to be made up into a long-stemmed 'wand' using bear grass to form the 'stem' part of the design - this I'll have to do at the last minute and tie off with Burgundy Organza ribbon secured with pearl headed pins.

The Bridal bouquet is a full hand-tied long-stemmed design using a selection of roses to complement the bridesmaids burgundy organza dresses, with pink Veronicas and small Fatsia leaves.  Again the design is using bear grass to create movement on the stem and tied off with burgundy organza ribbon secured with pearl headed pins.
