Spring weddings 2013

Recent Spring weddings

It's been a busy few weeks with some wonderful wedding flowers being created.

Locations have included a gorgeous country garden setting near Bosham, West Sussex and the prestigious Newick Park Hotel, Newick, East Sussex and Buxted Park Hotel, nr Uckfield, East Sussex.

It's so inviting as a florist when you get to create from the wonderful seasonal flowers that Spring and early summer bring. Scented peonies blush with antique roses and fragrant sweet peas combine stunningly with vibrant hydrangeas.

Vintage and lace!

It's so uplifting when stunning flowers such as peonies start coming into season and combining them in such a way to create vintage, natural bouquets.

The bride and groom chose a mixture of tall lily vases and rustic birdcages for the table arrangements. Both complimented each other with the choice of flowers.

Christmas decorations

A stunning parallel arrangement with majestic amaryllis and silver sprayed thistles created a wintry effect. I wound silver twine and fabric around the stems to add further interest.
