Delicate yet Stunning

Natalie and her mum came to see me some time ago and from the minute we chatted, both her mum and I joked about Natalie's champagne taste in all things floral....  Hey, but I tell you, the girl had a vision and after a long day of preperation yesterday and a day of logistics and set up today, her vision became a reality and boy am I glad that girl had taste. 

Natalie knew what she wanted, (in a completely lovely way).  I just hope that we managed to capture that vision in the designs we created below.  We got pictures of the civil room in the great hall in Peckforton Castle and pictures of the bridal flowers but because of the dual use of floral displays, we were unable to get pictures of the actual reception room.... hint hint Natalie and family!!!

So, without further ado, lets look at the pictures.  As usual, any feedback is gratefully received and Natalie, thanks for letting us be part of your big day.  Ps, your Mum's hat/fascinator looked fab today.. I bet you looked gorgeous too.

Lots of love Paula xxx

Natalies bouquet had Sweet Avalanche Roses, Spray Roses and Avalanche Roses

Heaven Roses in simple dome were designed for the bridesmaids.

And for the groom, a mixture of blooms from the bridal bouquet.

And, the groomsmen matched the bridesmaids, as they should.

The Mum chose to be in pinks too just like Natalie and this is her corsage.

The great hall, fabric swagging, archway and chair covers gave the basis for this room and with the addition of the candleabra designs, and some foliage swagging and fairy lights, the room was complete.  The devil is in the detail, don't you think?



The archway was fresh with roses, spray roses, hyrdrangea, gypsophelia and other filler flowers.  Truly stunning, espeically in "real life".



That's all for now folks, until Natalie and family send me some pics of the reception room at which point we will gladly share those too... xx

Alison and Tony at Statham Lodge, Lymm

Well what can I say.  Alison made some fabulous choices and it took us a while to decide on the final designs but I think they were well worth the wait. 

I seen Alison the day before her wedding when she called into the shop and I have to say I have never seen a bride SO SO excited.  It was lovely and it really put us all in a really nice mood in the shop.  I think this was felt in the designs as we felt so relaxed....  We were that confident she would like the stuff, we banned her from seeing it before it was all set out!!    (Well, I gave in at one point and said she could have a sneaky peak but I think she was that excited she wanted to wait.)

Alison and Tony, from the bottom of my heart I am so glad we did your wedding flowers and that you chose us.  You are one of the most bubbliest people I have ever met and Alison,  you are definately a woman after my own heart ;)... 

Huge Congratulations, I wish you a long and happy life together.

Have a wonderful honeymoon and hope you are both feeling refreshed and ready to take on the world when you get back!!

Anyway, here is some of the designs we did for Alison and Tony..

A collection of the flowers chosen include Sweet Avalanche Roses, Aqua Roses, Stock, Chameloceum, Mimi Eden Spray Roses.

The Bridal Bouquet

We decided as always that the bridesmaids bouquet should compliment the bouquet but not be totally like it.  We used similar flowers but in slightly different colours.  The cerise rose we chosen was a great colour.

And, a little wand to give to the flowergirl...

And for Tony, a buttonhole with an Aqua Rose.

And for his groomsmen, a Cerise Rose.

Alison chose our mirrored cubes, with a mixed design of roses, lisianthus and pink gypsophelia.

A top table design of roses. lisianthus, waxflower and mixed flowers.

And below, a few of the room in Statham Lodge, Lymm, Warrington.

Alison's table plan... sorry about the lack of detail in the picture but in "real life" it looked really cool we think.



The matching menu.



With love, exhaustion, and lots and lots of best wishes..... Paula xx

The Pinks are back again....

So, you girls are just loving the pink at the moment.  Sweet Avalanche Roses, Dolce Vita Roses,  Mimi Eden Spray Roses, Dendrobian Orchids and Lisianthus all feature in this wedding for Helen.

I have to say, I do have a soft spot for Pink weddings but then, I do for White weddings, and Red weddings.. Oh, you get the picture!!

Enjoy....

A close up of the shower bouquet to illustrate the impact this particular mixture of flowers gave.

Helen's shower bouquet, we thinked she liked it!!

A close up of the delicate colour the Sweet Avalanche Rose has and how this complimented the colours in Helen's bouquet.

And, how it looked in the overall shape of the handtied bouquet that her bridesmaids carried.

The grooms buttonhole was designed with a Dolce Vita Rose, Dendrobian Orchid and Lisianthus... all of which were in Helen's bouquet.



And, we didnt manage to get pictures of the venue in Wigan but here are the flowers lined up like soliders waiting to go and do their job for Helen's big day....  Hint Hint Helen... come on, I know you have only been married for a day or two but send us the pics wont you??  ;)

With Love.. Paula xx

Just a splash of Pink....

This was a very last minute wedding for us, Sarah's previous florist had said she could not do the job so she looked to the Holiday Inn, Runcorn for a referral and found us in their brochure.  Sarah, thanks for putting your trust in us, we hope you enjoyed your day!!!

Oh, and we didnt even let the fourty minute delay of the fire alarm put us off.  In fact, the girls said the firemen were "very nice"....  What can I say to that????

Shower Bouquet with Dolce Vita Roses, Lisianthus, Lily Grass and Ruscus foliage. 

Sarah brought in the baskets, and we designed the flowers inside.

Matching corsages for the Mums..

Lily Delight with Stargazer Lillies and modern foliage.

The Holiday Inn, Runcorn..

Sarah also made a brilliant choice to dress the room further with our sparkling light curtain.  This room in the Holiday Inn Runcorn can be a big room to fill and the curtain really helps with that.

And, of course, with the light curtain, comes the free archway with its own fairy lights.

Congratulations to the happy couple.

Tropical and Fun.....

This is a wedding we did a few years ago, but I stumbled accross these pictures and thought I would share for those of you that like bold colour and want to inject a tropical feel to your wedding day.

Have a look at these and see what you think.

Meet Jane, a Widnes bride.

Jane made some great choices and I think they complimented her dress and her bridesmaids beautifully.

Jane passed on these pictures, I think they wanted to remain anonymous ;)

What a lovely bride, thanks for choosing us Jane, we enjoyed doing your flowers and we are thrilled you liked them.
