Pale pink rose bouquet, wedding at Edinburgh Castle.

"Thank you for my beautiful flowers, they were perfect".

This couple married at Edinburgh Castle on a really hot July day. The bride sent me photos of her beautiful family and with her permission I will hopefully be able to share the photos on here. In the meantime, here are some photos of the flowers. I used Sweet Avalanche, a spray rose called Jana (a beautiful, pale peachy pink) and a white spray rose. For the little girl's wrist corsage I wired some roses and ivy leaves together and stitched the arrangement onto ribbon.

Pale pink Germini buttonhole and wrist corsage

I gave birth to my son, Euan, in October and took a break from doing floristry. However, July harks my return to floristry and it feels great to be creative with flowers again!

At the start of the month I created a pale pink Germini buttonhole and wrist corsage:

British grown flower bouquet

"Thank you. The flowers were perfect."
Therese, June 2013  

Therese and Stephen wanted British grown flowers where possible. Therese didn't mind what colour the flowers were. I chose the focal flowers first, the cerise pink peonies, and the colour scheme followed suit. 

Peonies, sweet williams, nigella, white thistle, saxifrage, alchemilla and spirea.

 

 White thistle, alstroemeria, white lavender

Corsage and buttonhole

Corsage: orchid, thistle, senecio, sedum, rosemary, ivy and heather

Buttonhole: thistle and ivy leaves

Rose and ivy garlands to adorn a font

I was asked to add some fresh pink roses to two ivy garlands purchased from Hobbycraft. The garlands were going to adorn a font for the Christening of baby twin girls. I selected a medium sized rose called La Poeme.

I wired 40 individual flower heads and taped them to the garland using florist tape.
