Burgandy bridesmaids

What flowers to go with burgandy? People think they have to go for ivory and cream when they have burgandy in their wedding theme. I love to use lilacs and dusty purples with aubergine and burgandys, eucaliptus is a great greenery to mix with these colours. These memory lane roses cream and burgandy callas mixed with eucaliptus looks divine.

Back in with the blogging watch this space for news about new floristry workshops held in leicester.

Brides peonie and ranucula bouquet

decorating Arnesby chapel.



We followed the theme of pink peonies through to the church. we also had huge swags of ivy and white voile to decorate the poles and pews in the church

Here it is after.

We got Mark to build up the side with hay bails, this made it far sheltered from the wind, a lot cosier and a bit of privacy for the cows! We tied lots of cream and metal and wicker hearts from the beams this gave the barn a pretty wedding look, brought the ceiling down a bit and seperated the dancing and eating areas. We broke up the massive breeze blocked walls with swags of fresh ivy tied with pink voile then we ran along the tops of the walls with more ivy. The tops of the posts had arrangments of mixed greenery collected from the farm and small white and pink flowers attached to the tops. We covered the bench tables with different floral fabrics, added mixed match teacups and plates with battery operated tea lights which looked really pretty when it was the evening.

The big farm wedding continues the before picture!

Here is the barn, an airy dusty cow shed, before we got in a decorated it.
