Beautiful 50s

I had the nicest time working with Dani and Luke on there Wedding Flowers they both have a very 40s/50s vibe in there everyday life so I just knew how amazing they would both look... Luke was so excited about his suit he had made... And dani wanted a good splash of color with the flowers... And we used succulents for the buttonholes.... See what you think x x

We had some fun.... The theme for the Summer Ball is 1920s glamour.... So with elegant tall calla Lily's ..feathers and beads it was glamour all the way....

Carrie did a short demonstration then everyone was hands on.... Really great fun thank you ladies ....

Carnations used with style in thus wedding

Amy was very nervous about her choice of wedding flowers, she had wanted purple as her colour and a modern look, but she really wanted part of her grandmother in the flowers and Carnations had been her very favorite flowers and evoked such memories of her grandmother....

Carnations have taken an awful lot of flack due to super markets and garage forecourts using hem as a filler flower.... When you look at the carnation it is such a beautiful flower and now comes in some lovely new colours..... Here we used the purple haze to contrast beautifully with the other purple flowers chosen, Amy was so delighted with the result as were we.....

Brides bouquet

And when we talked about the bridesmaids we decided a cluster of the carnations with the folded aspidistra would be the perfect compliment to Amy's bouquet......
