The Belle of Irelands Wedding at Wasing Park

The 'Belle of Ireland' was Laura her Charming Groom was Chris. This Wedding is one of my favourites this year (I shouldn't have favourites, I truly love them all, but this one stands out as a Classic!) We adorned the Boys with Avalanche roses, the white chocolate cake looks amazing and we submerged Mollecello also known as Bells of Ireland into Sundae glasses, which looked amazing both on our clear perspex pedestal stands and as table centrepieces. A martini glass for the top table, and that bridal bouquet of peonies, lisianthus, chincherinchees and pistachio carnations looked gorgeous with the Dress.

Wasing Park is a spectacular wedding venue complete with its own gorgeous little church... click on the link for more information.

Sunflowers in September

So the weather this week has been a little on the miserable side, however these practically perfect Sunflowers are simply gorgeous....

. 

Here we've used Sunflowers, Cherry Brandy Roses, Veronica and Dracena leaves in this candle arrangement with some rustic fabric and knotted rope... these made great table centres for a rustic Summer wedding... 

Avalanche roses, Rosemary and freesia hand tied bouquet for a bridesmaid, stems bound in raffia to complete the rustic look...

and finally,  To go with the wedding a thank you bouquet for the Brides mum, a small gesture of the huge thanks she deserved for setting the Bride and Groom up in the first place! x x

Here we have a bridal bouquet of Akito Roses and Crystal Blush Calla Lilies teamed with Eucylptus and hard ruscus. We also have Sweet Akito Buttonholes and a Bridal bouquet of Artemis roses with Black pearls a'la Captain Jack. Today is the first saturday this year we have not had a Wedding hence, why I have the time to blog...

see you soon, fantastic weekend to you all! x x x
