Wedding of Lisa & Ricky 12th December 2009

Today was my last Wedding of the year :( but it was very seasonal! The theme was dark reds & creams using seasonal foliage like Spruce & Holly so it marked the beginning of Christmas for us!
Lisa & Ricky were married in St. Marys Catholic Church which is very beautiful inside.

Ricky wore a cream Rose, Spruce & Ivy Buttonhole whilst the other Men had a dark red one.

The Bridesmaid's Bouquets of cream 'Vendella' Roses. The stems were bound with burgundy coloured ribbon to match their dresses.

Wedding of Penelope 7th August 2009

Today was the Wedding of Penelope, she was wearing a lilac dress so wanted the flowers to compliment it. We chose cream, lilac & purple, I think the colours work really well together.

The Groom's Buttonhole was a 'Vendella' Rose with purple Lisianthus.

Penelope's Bouquet was Hand-tied using purple Lisianthus, Veronica, 'Pacific Blue' & 'Vendella' Roses finished with lilac ribbon.

The Bridesmaid's carried Hand-tieds of lilac Freesia finished with lilac ribbon to match.

Wedding of Sarah & Simon 1st August 2009

Today was the Wedding of Sarah & Simon. Their colour theme was cream, lilac & purple. Sarah's Bridesmaid was wearing a dark purple so she carried a hand-tied Bouquet of more cream Roses than lilac & purple whereas Sarah had a shower Bouquet with more lilac & purple than cream in.
The Church ceremony was at Emmanuel Church on Forest Road in Loughborough & the reception was at Beaumanor Hall, Woodhouse.

Sarah had two Pedestals of cream Roses & Stocks, purple Delphinium & Lisianthus & lilac Freesia with Aralia Leaves & Eucalyptus.

My two Pedestals at the ends (I didn't do the lovely one in the middle!).

Pew Ends of purple Lisianthus, rolled Aspidistra leaves with an Aralia Leaf behind were tied to the chairs using purple & lilac ribbon. The wedding theme of purple & cream matched the church decor perfect!

We had a few minutes to get some photographs while the guests were leaving the Church as we had to dash in & grab the Pedestals & Pew Ends & take them to Beaumanor Hall before the Bride & Groom arrived!

Wedding of Michelle & Mark 25th July 2009

Today was the Wedding of Michelle & Mark.
Michelle & her Mum, Dianne came into the Shop & booked the date quite along time ago. Michelle knew what she wanted & it was pink! Throughout the run up to the Wedding her Bouquet colour kept changing from pink to cream & back again but she finally decided on cream. The Church was a lovely quaint one in the village of Normanton - On - soar & it sat on the bank of the River Soar. The reception was at The Hilton East Midlands Airport Hotel.
We moved all the Church flowers onto the reception after the ceremony to get full use out of them, this was quite interesting on a very hot day in July!

Michelle's hand-tied Bouquet of cream 'Vendella' Roses finished with Ivory ribbon.

Michelle wanted asked for small pink flower detail to be placed randomly between the Roses to match with the pink & cream theme.

The Bridesmaids (all 6 of them!) carried hand-tieds of cream 'Vendella' Roses with Diamantes placed in a few of the Roses.

The Flower Girls held silver Wands with a cerise pink Gerbera attached & pale pink trailing ribbon.

The room was transformed into pink & cream heaven with chair ties, table runners & balloons!

The Tables had small Vases of Roses - cream 'Vendella', 'Barbie' & 'Sweet Avalanche' which all looked very pretty together with the pink table runner & chair ties.
