Pink and Purple Flowers

Kate wanted lively flowers to go with her bubbly personality… so this is what we come up with.  I think she liked them, do you?  I even got to have a cheeky glass of bucks fizz with these girls x




Lots of Lilac Freesia and hot Pink Freesia made up this handtied bouquet.



The Ultimate Vintage Wedding

Now, judging by the big hug Andrea gave me on the playground on the Monday after her wedding, I kinda know she liked these flowers… She had vintage in mind as soon as she booked… so here is what we come up with for her bridal flowers.
The first few photos are taken from Andrea Ellison Photograhy (links on my site).  I think you can tell where i take hold of my camera haha… enjoy…





Old Dutch Roses, Amnesia Roses, Sweet Avalanche Roses and Ivory Spray Roses.  Complimented with lace detail.




A handbag... made from various foliage and spray roses. 


A pomander with various foliages, lace detail and spray roses.


Red Wedding Flowers


Well, I have to say the Red Wedding Dress steals the show on this one, but the flowers sure do compliment.  Have a little look at Sam and Michael and see what you think.  Such a gorgeous couple….  thanks for the pics guys xx

Green and Purple Flowers

When I met Adele and Chris I could just tell they were just best mates… and really happy together!!  This shows on their wedding day and dont they look beautiful???  Thanks for choosing us to do your flowers you two, we really do appreciate it!!!






Three cubes stacked on a square mirror with Delistar, Hydrangea, and Cymbidium Orchid.





Pink Gerbera and Purple Freesia


Well Eve chose some really bright and outgoing colours to go together and they really suited her personality as she is such a bubbly person.  I think it is important that a wedding scheme should reflect a bride’s personality, dont you??  Actually, I always remember every time Eve came in for her consults, she wore these colours… I just love that!!







Green Roses

Nicola was one of the first brides to be tempted with the green theme and was really ahead of her time…. this was years ago!!  She also gave us carte blanche with the venue flowers and we had a great time doing them too!!
Check out the pics kindly donated by her very kind and proud Mum, Sandra… I think we can all agree that she looked absolutely stunning and definately a good catch for Ste, her groom..  Check out Grace and Luke too, how cute and although they all still as cute now, they have grown up a bit more!!  Grace inparticular modelled the flowers so well….
Enjoy…..









Blue Roses and Yellow Roses


The Warrington Rugby League Team’s Fan!!
Yep, they wanted the team colours and didn’t they look fab?  The royal blue Rose against the bright Yellow Rose just gave massive impact and I am so pleased for them.  Such a lovely bride, I am sure her groom was thrilled at how beautiful she looked and felt very lucky.  Thanks Linsay for letting us do your wedding flowers, we feel very priviliged that you chose us..
Oh…. and Congratulations, we hope you have a long and happy and healthy life together!!










Cerise Gerbera and White Roses

These pictures just tell a tale of how absolutely thrilled the bride is on her day, she looks radiant and models the flowers so beautifully!!  I would like to take full credit but the flowers the bride chose were just fitting for the floaty pale pink dresses the bridesmaids wore so well..
  Congratulations to the happy couple and thanks for choosing us to be part of your day!!

White and Orange Wedding Flowers

Carolyn had a clear idea of what she had in mind for her wedding flowers…  White for the bridal flowers and a splash of orange for the venue!!
I think judging by the email she sent us, we kind of got it right.  Read, look and enjoy.   
Congratulations to the happy couple… thanks for letting About Flowers do your flowers
“Hi Paula,

White Rose Wedding

Helena and Mark just look gorgeous in these pictures don’t you think? 
We really want to say a big thanks to Helena as she has been so public about thanking us that it really makes us feel proud.  Our business is reliant on people telling others about us so from the whole team Helena, thanks…. love ya!!
Helena had a handtied bouquet of White Avalanche Roses edged with Ivy.


Helena's bridesmaids had a design that we created, the adult wand.  These particular wands are made with Avalanche Roses and are a great match to the bridal bouquet.




White Wedding Flowers


Laura had some fab ideas about how she wanted her bouquet and with a bit of discussion this is what we come up with.  Hope you like it…  We mixed in lace and pearl, diamantes and a brooch that we advised Laura to choose herself to make sure her bouquet was completely individual.



Sphere of Elegance Table Centre

Uplighted Sphere of Flowers…
Once again we have a new design to show.  Those of you who went to the Bridal Fayre at the Hillcrest Hotel in Widnes will have seen this room but for those that didn’t, here is what we did.
We chose gold to compliment the room and we think there is something quite elegant about the colours gold and ivory.  Anyway, don’t just take our word for it, check it out for yourself.  We would love your feedback so please leave a comment if you have any thoughts about it… 
Oh, and this is available in a range of colours…




Orange Wedding Flowers


This bride wanted a wilder look in a shower bouquet so we used ivy and grasses to give that feel.  We then made some complimentary bridesmaids bouquets.  A matching combslide really finished off the look…
