Anyone For Tea? - Rowhill Grange 12th May 2012

On Saturday I provided the flowers for Georgina and Sean's wedding at Rowhill Grange.


Georgina had lots of ideas for her wedding flowers and finally decided on large domed arrangements in tea pots for the guest tables along with tea cups and cake stand arrangements for the head table.  The colour palette was soft pinks with ivory and a touch of taupe.  We decided to use Avalanche, Sweet Avalanche and Amnesia roses along with Bombastic and Snowflake spray roses as the main flowers along with white stocks, white hydrangeas, white waxflower, white veronica, pink astilbe and white peonies.


Georgina's large hand tied bouquet contained Amnesia, Avalanche, Sweet Avalanche, Bombastic and Snowflake roses along with white peonies, white veronica and white waxflower bound with lace ribbon and pearl pins...




The bridesmaids carried hand tied bouquets of Avalanche roses with white peonies and Snowflake spray roses bound with ivory satin ribbon and pearl pins...


Sean wore a buttonhole of Amnesia and Snowflake roses while the rest of the bridal party wore Amnesia with a little foliage. 


Wrist corsages of Snowflake spray roses were provided for the ladies.


Georgina was hoping to have her ceremony outside. After a weeks of rain the sun shone and the ceremony went ahead outside.  I provided two arrangements for the gazebo of white hydrangea, Avalanche, Sweet Avalanche, Amnesia, Snowflake and Bombastic roses along with white veronica and white stocks.  Two cups and the cake stand arrangement from the head table were placed on the ceremony table...




The fireplace in the reception room was dressed with jam jars which Georgina had provided and these were filled with a selection of the wedding flowers.  Window sills and the guest book table were also dressed with wedding flowers along with Georgina's bird cage which was used as a card box....








The gorgeous cake by The Yummy Cake Company was dressed with roses...





The guest tables were dressed with a domed flower arranged placed on top of some of my beautiful vintage tea pots.  The arrangements were all in their own self-contained dish and so could be given away at the end of the evening to Georgina and Sean's guests.  Pearl strands supplied  by Georgina were draped over the arrangements and rose petals sprinkled on the tables finished the look.  The arrangements were made from Amnesia, Sweet Avalanche, Avalanche, Snowflake and Bombastic roses, pink astilbe, white stocks and white waxflower with no foliage...





The head table was dressed with an arrangement on one of my two tier vintage cake stands. Flowers used were Amnesia, Avalanche, Sweet Avalanche, Snowflake and Bombastic roses, white peonies, white stocks and white waxflower.  This was placed in the centre of the table with a row of my vintage tea cups filled with  a selection of the wedding flowers...





The wall behind the head table was dressed with wire hearts covered in moss and ivy with roses and the beams were dressed with fairy lights and eucalyptus foliage...





A lovely themed wedding with amazing selection of flowers - just my cup of tea! xx

Nicola & John - Bickley Manor 5th May 2012

Nicola & John's theme for their flowers was simple and elegant.  


Choosing only ivory/white flowers with green accents along with champagne coloured sashes on the chair covers.


Nicola chose a hand tied bouquet using ivory Akito roses with diamante accents with smaller versions for her bridesmaid and flower girls, all bound with ivory satin ribbon.






Simple Akito rose buttonholes with foliage for John and the Groomsmen and Akito rose and white freesia corsages for the ladies...



For the tables Nicola decided upon low arrangements displayed in square mirror cube vases.  I used ivory Akito roses, white double lisianthus, white freesia and achemilla mollis to create a fresh neutral look. Photos below taken by Nikki Waterlow
