Jennifer and Nik, St James, Stockbridge

Jennifer and Nik got married at St James church in Stockbridge. The church is decorated with murals by William Hole (who is the artist responsible for the murals in the Scottish Portrait Gallery).

The colour scheme was blue and the bride's bouquet was made with hydrangea, thistle, delphiniums, eucalyptus and asparagus fern.

 

 

 

 

  

The three bridesmaids' bouquets were made with hydrangea, white spray roses and thistle.

 

One large pedestal adorned the church. I used white delphiniums, blue delphiniums, pussy willow, hydrangea , wax flower and some white spray roses.

The groom's buttonhole included some white spray roses to differentiate it from the others. 

Morag and Julie - Dynamic Earth, Edinburgh

This is my penultimate wedding before I take a few months maternity leave. Luckily my friend Lesley helped out with this large wedding at Dynamic Earth (thanks, Lesley!).

Morag and Julie each carried a bouquet - Julie's was made with Germini and Delphiniums, Morag's was Calla and Thistle. The three bridesmaids carried bouquets of Delphinium and Thistle, so something from each of the bride's bouquet.

Winter wedding at Craighouse, Edinburgh

 



Snowy winter wedding

Eileen and Craig got married on 10 December when Edinburgh had been hit by heavy snowfall. Delivering their flowers was a little dicey but luckily it all went to plan. Eileen wanted an over the arm calla lily bouquet. It's quite a long design and I didn't quite manage to photograph it all in one shot, but hopefully the snaps below give an indication of what the bouquet was like. The bouquet incorporated steel grass with beads, and was backed by a medium sized monstera leaf.

The bridesmaids carried calla lily 'crystal blush' hand-tied bouquets. I kept the stems quite long as it looked elegant and it complemented the bride's bouquet.

The corsages were made with thistle, calla, beads and variegated leaves.

Autumnal flowers

Michelle, who got married at the end of October, wanted a more unconventional wedding bouquet to match her unconventional wedding dress! She didn't want a balanced, round design but something that looked a bit more wild and thrown together. Her dress was brown with green and orange stitching so the bouquet worked well.

The bouquet utilised anigozanthos, leucospermum, gerbera, calla lilies, fern and oak leaves.

I also made two flower girl bouquets using orange roses, purple freesia and lily grass.

A gerbera and oak leaf wrist corsage for the mother of the bride.

And calla lily buttonholes for the men.
