Calla Lily Sheath Bouquet

This is the beautiful dark purple
'Schwarzwalder' Calla Lily.

Here you can see how it looks when arranged into a sheath or over the arm bouquet.

This is a very traditional way to hold a wedding bouquet. However when it's made with a modern looking flower like this variety of Calla Lily it can look very contemporary. It's been teamed up with an aspidistra leaf and wispy bear grass.

Flowers For A Beach Theme

Beach wedding themes have become increasingly popular with brides for several reasons.

It's the obvious choice if you are getting married abroad as you want to celebrate your wonderful choice of destination.

It may be because the bride and groom met travelling or simply love traveling.

It is also because it's such a fun and happy wedding theme to use and lets face it everyone likes to be reminded of that holiday feeling.

Beach Centrepieces

I really like these candle sail boats. The frosted glass sails give them a very elegant look.

I can see them working really well surrounding the main table centrepiece or sailing in a line along the top table.

If you took a large circular vase filled it with a couple of inches of sand and put lots of beautiful shells on top. By placing an interesting impact flower such as an anthurium inside the vase it would make a simple yet stunning table centre. You could then finish it of by surrounding it with these beautiful boat tea light holders.

This Seasons Wedding Colour Theme

I've noticed that a lot of Brides have chosen a rich plum colour this summer.

This choice of colour theme is being reflected in the bridesmaids dresses.

In the photo you can see the flowers a recent bride chose to compliment this colour. I've used a beautiful dusky pinky purple rose and teamed it with soft pink and lilac.

You can see the colour of the dresses on the ribbon handle.

Low Wedding Centrepieces with Pearls

Using pearls is very popular this season.

Here's a photo of the beautiful large goldfish bowl. You can see from the photo that there are large and small pearl beads in the water.

Some of the large pearls have sunk to the bottom and others are floating in between the rose heads.

Pearls fit really well with the vintage theme this year.

The circular mirror really helps as the reflection focuses on the pearls.

Don't laugh but wedding decorations are not only about the ceremony and reception rooms.

Fresh flowers, nice soaps and perfume's are a really nice touch in the bathrooms, and these bride and groom toilet rolls are a fun light hearted touch.

Don't forget all your guests will be in the toilet at some time so don't forget to add some fun finishing touches.

Rose Petals

It's become really popular now to throw rose petals instead of paper confetti. I made cones of real rose petals at my wedding for guests to throw, it's such good fun.

Choosing rose petals are great for several reasons:
You can colour coordinate the petals to your wedding colour theme. Boy do this company have plenty to choose from, I would be surprised if they didn't have your colour theme.

They show up really well on your photographs. Because they are larger than the traditional tiny paper confetti pieces they can be captured on film.

Finally if you choose petals that are real or freeze dried (as apposed to silk) then most venues will let your guest throw them. Many people are now concerned about the environment and not leaving a mess behind, so what better way to celebrate than will real petals.

Throwing confetti at the bride and groom goes back in time, long a go guests would traditional throw rice grains. I'm not sure many brides would be too happy to be showered in rice nowadays!

Any types of these rose petals add colour and a finishing touch to your table decorations as well. This is a great place to use the silk ones as they will look great all day long.

Christmas Wedding Theme

Now I know many of you are going to say I can't talk about Christmas when we are in the middle of summer, but I'm going to! The main reason being I'm talking to a lot of brides that are busy planning their December weddings.

Now if you want a touch of Christmas reflected on your tables but not in an overly obvious way then I think these place setting card holders are perfect. They look similar to the classic Christmas tree decoration but could go with any colour theme.

One of my December brides is planning a silver, snowflake theme and these would be just perfect on her reception tables.
