Winter Weddding Flowers

Winter weddings are becoming increasingly popular and if you are planning a winter wedding you might be interested in these tall wedding centerpieces.

I created these recently for a winter bride of mine, she had a theme of a winter woodland.

We chose to use natural materials such as moss, twigs, bark, fir cones and seedpods teamed up with stunning white phalaenopsis orchids.

The effect was amazing, these stunning tall centrepieces were really effective in the wedding reception room. I also scattered fir cones around the base of the arrangements to add to the woodland theme.

I love phalaenopsis orchids and if we get to work on a wedding that features them I get really excited. This wedding used lots of them, which was great. Click here to see more of the winter wedding flowers from this wedding.

Autumn Wedding Flowers Theme

This year we have had the most beautiful autumn here in the U.K. The colours of the leaves have been truly breathtaking. So it’s not that surprising that many of our October and Septembers bides have used these colours for their autumn wedding flowers theme.

Here you can see a civil ceremony room set up for a September wedding. This room at Walton Hall is a really stunning backdrop for any wedding. You can see that I placed two pedestal arrangements either side of the registrars table to compliment the brides flower colour theme.

This ceremony room is so large with its stunning tall ceilings, pedestal arrangements help to focus attention on the ceremony area. I also placed the top table arrangement on the registrar’s table so that the room was filled with the beautiful autumn wedding flower theme.

Dressing the civil ceremony area also ensures that your wedding photos will feature your stunning flowers and give you a perfect backdrop.

Fall Wedding Bouquets

In the photo here you can see how I have arranged orange calla lilies, roses, freesias with lime green hypericum berries for a fall wedding bouquet. I also added delicate twigs and fall foliage to encapsulate the wedding theme.

This bridal bouquet was for an October wedding. The colours were so rich and vibrant they really gave a beautiful warm look to the whole wedding. Here are some more photos of fall wedding bouquets designs.

Hydrangea Wedding Decorations

This summer I had a wonderful time working with the most amazing large white hydrangea flowers. My bride wanted hydrangea wedding decorations in the church and reception and it was the only flower we used. So I think you can imagine how wonderful my workshop looked full of these stunning large blooms.

In this photo (on the left) you can see how I used these large blooms in the base of our large goldfish bowls. I just decorated the inside of the bowls with steelgrass and placed silver stones in the base to fit in with her colour theme. Goldfish bowls are always very popular low wedding centerpieces.

Three of these hydrangea goldfish bowls were placed along the length of the top table. They fitted really well with the brides theme for stunning elegant flowers.

See more of her and others hydrangea wedding decorations in one of our short videos.

Soft Pastel Wedding Flowers

In this photo you can see a handtied posy bouquet I made for a bride this summer. The bride, Lucy loved the cream ‘Vendela’ roses that are one of our favourites. But she just wanted to add a little warmth to the colour palette and she decided on this peachy coloured rose called ‘Kiwi’. Not only did she like the colour of this rose she also fell for its name as the Groom was from New Zealand, it was meant to be!

I loved this combination of cream and peach in her bridal bouquet.

See how we took this theme through to all the arrangements for her wedding reception. We decorated our beautiful silver candelabras with the same roses, ivory freesias and Singapore orchids. Hanging from the arms of the candelabras were beautiful jewel droplets.

Her colour palette added warmth to the wedding marquee and gave her just the finish and style she was looking for.

Calla Lily Wedding Flowers

Calla lilies wedding themes are very popular and the great news is there are many favours, invitations and cake accessories for the calla lily wedding theme.

Any Calla lily wedding theme is obviously going to feature calla lily wedding bouquets. Shower, sheaf and handtied posy bouquets can all be made in calla lilies. You can make them solely out of a mass of lilies or mix them with other flowers, both options provide stunning results. In the photo here you can see one I made for an Autumn bride featuring the beautiful 'Mango' calla lily.

The great news is calla lilies are available all the year round and come in a big range of colours. Here are the different colours available for calla lilies; white, pale pink, cerise pink, lilac, yellow, orange, burgundy red, deep purple and lime green. So whatever your colour theme there is bound to be a calla lily to match.

You can also think about featuring them in your wedding centrepieces for the reception. Both tall and low table centrepieces look simply elegant and effective when made out of calla lilies.

Pink Wedding Flowers

I love the way one of our recent brides themed all her table stationary around her pink wedding flowers. Jenny’s bridal bouquet featured the wonderful ‘aqua’ pink rose. She then featured this rose on all of her table stationary that you can see here in the photo.

The line of roses as used in her bridal bouquet were printed along the bottom of the table numbers, place setting cards and menu’s. The same company also printed the seating plan and had the roses featured in the corners. I loved the way all the stationary coordinated and match her pink wedding flowers.

I also scattered a generous amount of the aqua pink rose petals underneath her tall centrepieces to give a touch of colour to the tables.

The aqua rose is a great rose for a vibrant pink wedding theme. Find out more about different shades of pink wedding flowers.

Purple Freesia Wedding Flowers

We get so many requests for purple wedding flowers and freesias are one of our favourites. You can see here in this photo the beautiful lilac ‘Blue Moon’ freesia in a bridal bouquet that I recently made.

This stunning lilac colour works really well in bridesmaid’s bouquets when the dresses are a deep shade of purple. The lilac colour stands out against the dark colour of the dress.

Freesia wedding flowers are wonderful for so many reasons; they smell fantastic, their strong delicate fragrance that is not overpowering. Freesias are very popular choice to go with the recent trend of vintage wedding flowers as they are old-fashioned blooms.

My favourite reason for using freesias is they have pretty delicate petals but really strong robust stems. This means they can be used in handtied posy bouquets, shower bouquets and table arrangements.

Other popular purple wedding flowers are lissianthus, veronica, anemones, hyacinths, aster and alliums.

Floor Standing Candle Stands

These beautiful silver floor standing candle stands make a great alternative to pedestal arrangements for a civil ceremony.

You can see here how I have placed them either side of the registrar's table during the wedding ceremony.

In this photo they have been decorated with red 'Passion' roses and lime green chrysanthemums.

Cherry Blossom Wedding

It’s not surprising that cherry blossom has become a great theme for wedding decorations, it’s just so beautiful and really sums up springtime.

I’ve just got back from delivering wedding flowers, and couldn’t resist taking this quick photo of the beautiful cherry blossom trees at the wedding venue.

Right now the trees are weighed down with these heavy, delightfully scented blooms.

My van was also covered in pink blossom petals, which looked just like confetti as I drove off.

If you are planning a springtime wedding then cherry blossom may be a great theme for you. The good news is there are so many delightful wedding accessories for this wedding theme.

You can find everything from invitations, place setting cards (like these ones seen in the photo below), favors and centerpieces all based around this beautiful blossom.



Here is a link to one of my favourite sites that sells lots of wonderful cherry blossom themed wedding accessories.

Candelabras As Wedding Centrepiece Decorations

Candelabra stands look stunning as wedding centrepiece decorations but sometimes they can work out quite expensive. But don’t worry as you now have more options of hiring candelabras with more affordable decorations.

Wedding centrepiece decorations that feature lots of flower or foliage content can cost quite a lot of money and eat into your budget. Candelabras can be really quite expensive when they are decorated in ornate full displays of fresh flowers. This is because they take so long to make and of course use a lot of material.

However at Pure Botanics they have come up with a couple of designs that still look really effective as wedding centrepiece decorations but don’t use as many flowers. This means they don’t take so long to prepare and work out far more affordable.

Here you can see one decorated in the cute feathered pink gerbera mini. They are hanging in small ornate glass bottles and look really effective.

Find out more about how you could use candelabras as your wedding centrepieces.

Anemone Bridal Bouquet

I just love anemones and they make the most beautiful wedding flowers.

I can’t decide whether I like them so much because of their deep rich vibrant colours or because of their stunning black centres. Maybe it’s both elements, which makes these flowers so unique and stunning.

Here you can see a bridal bouquet of anemones in mixed colours.

If you would like to create this bouquet for your own wedding, then follow the very simple step-by-step instructions on i wedding decorations.

Anemones are in season from the autumn until late spring so make a great choice for winter weddings.

Yellow Wedding Colour Theme

As spring has finally sprung and we are celebrating Easter I couldn’t resist showing you this beautiful bright yellow mimosa flower.

It really is quite unusually and reminds me of tiny delicate yellow pompoms! I’ve simply arranged it in small bunches placed in glass vases decorated with coordinating ribbons.

Small arrangements like this are great for decorating side or occasional tables, buffet tables or bar areas. As the vintage theme is really popular at the moment with brides, small arrangements in vases work well for this wedding theme. Grouping together small vases in the centre of the reception tables can look really effective. You don’t even have to use the same vases or flowers as long as you stick to a colour theme.

If you are planning a spring wedding theme you might want to think about incorporating mimosa into your wedding flowers. As well as it’s stunning yellow colour mimosa also has a really unique fragrance.
