April Fools Day Wedding

1st April & it was my first Wedding of the year.
I never asked Sandra if she really was getting married today or if it was an April Fools! The weather was typical for April - rainy but I think it managed to stay dry for them to walk from the Town Hall to the Tennis Club.
I did the flowers for Sandra's Son last year so it was a great pleasure to be able to do hers now.

Male Buttonholes of Thistles, Rosemary & Eucalyptus.

Spring Corsage of lilac Anemone, Sol'Dor Daffodils, orange Tulips, Pussy Willow, Rosemary & Eucalyptus finished with a Tartan bow as Sandra's Mum is from Scotland.

Lilac Freesia Corsage with Rosemary & Eucalyptus finished with an Ivory bow.

Corsage of Lily of the Valley, Rosemay & Eucaulyptus finished with an Ivory bow.

Bridesmaid's Bouquets of white Anemones, Thistles, Rosemary & Eucalyptus finished with Ivory ribbon.

Sandra's Hand-tied Bouquet of white Anemones, Thistles, lime Viburnum, Rosemary, Fountain Grass & Eucalyptus finished with Ivory ribbon.

All three Bouquets boxed & waiting to go.

Wedding of Helen Cross 6th December 2009

Today was the Wedding of Helen, I had been looking forward to doing her Wedding for a long time as the coloured combination & the choice of flowers were fab!
The Church ceremony was at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Thorpe Hill, I didn't even know this Church was there, just tucked away behind some trees.
The Reception was then at Quorn Country Hotel so we had the job of moving Pedestals from the Church to the Hotel after the Ceremony.

The Groom's Buttonhole of a champagne coloured Rose with a Scabious Seed Head, Rosemary, Sprue & varigated Ivy leaves.

The Bridesmaid's Bouquets of champagne coloured Roses with Spruce & Rosemary running through the Roses. The stems were bound with silver coloured ribbon.

Helen's Bouquet of Champagne & Lilac coloured Roses, white Hellebores, Anemones, Scaboius Seed Heads & herbs. I also used Spruce for the Greenery as it was December.

Pedestals of white Amaryllis, Anemones, Hellebores, Roses, Mollucella & Greenery.

The lady at the Church who arranges the flowers had put an Amaryllis at the top of the steps & it matched perfectly with the flowers in the Pedestals - good guess there!

Here they come!

The Bride & Groom looking fab! Can't really see the flowers very clearly but I couldn't get any closer.
