Christmas Wedding Ideas

I recently saw these wonderful Christmas place settings. I just love this idea because you not only get a personalised place setting but it also doubles up as a favor.

This was a wedding I was working on in early December the couple had the tags printed to match their invitations and had even had personalised ribbon with their names and wedding dated printed onto it.

This is a perfect wedding favor for this time of year as guests can take them home and hang them straight on their tree.

Autumn Themed Wedding - Bridal Bouquet

As we are getting close to the end of Autumn, I thought you might like to see this autumn themed wedding bouquet that I made for one of our October brides.

The beautiful mango calla lilies, Orange freesias and yellow roses provided the perfect Autumn colour range.

Calla lilies work really well when arranged into a handtied posy.

Visit our Pure Botanics website for more photographs of bridal bouquets.

Purple Themed Wedding Colours

Purple has become a very popular choice for this years weddings. I'm also seeing a lot of brides that are choosing it for 2009.

It is a beautiful colour to choose and there are a variety of very popular shades of purple. It's being predominately chosen for bridesmaids dresses. This is then taken through to invites, chair covers, favors and flower choices.

You can see from this photograph that it look particularly nice when teamed with lilac and white flowers and the silver eucalyptus foliage.

Fall and Autumn Table Centrepieces

Autumn is a really beautiful season to get married in and fall themed weddings are becoming increasingly popular.

One of the reason it's a popular choice for brides is the beautiful autumnal colours of reds and oranges.

You can see these stunning table centrepieces we created for one of our October brides.

It's also popular because of the weather, last October was full of beautiful sunshine and this year was also very similar. I wonder if that was one of the reasons we were fully booked for weddings this October.

Diamante Wedding Accessories

Diamantes have become a really popular choice for brides.

They work really well when placed in the bridal bouquet as seen here. You have two choices of how to use diamantes in your bouquet. You can have clusters as seen here. Or you can place diamante headed pins into the centre of the roses.

Many brides choose to use diamantes because they also have them on their dress and often in their tiara.

They have also become increasingly popular to tie in with the current vintage theme.

Blue Wedding Flowers

If you are planning to use blue flowers as part of your wedding colour scheme then this flower may be a possibility.

The photo here is a close up of an agapanthus flower, it is a beautiful blue colour and the individual flower heads are a lovely trumpet shape.

The flower heads work really well when individually wired and used in bridal bouquets, buttonholes and corsages.
