Pleased to say that things ran more smoothly this time, and we were working with some lovely flowers again; sea holly, pale pink roses, double white lizianthus, Million Stars gypsophila and small leaf eucalyptus. All the bouquets and buttonholes were tied with garden string and decorated with a string bow.
The bride wanted a loose handtied bouquet, with lots of long ends. I'm sure there's a technical term for that effect in the floristry world, but blowed if I know what it is! Here's the bridal bouquet...please excuse the toe of my shoe in the pic. Thought I'd kept it out of the way!
Five bridesmaids bouquets...
Groom's buttonhole...
Ushers' buttonholes...
And everything boxed up, ready to deliver...
The bride didn't want too many flowers in church, and to go with the handtied look, asked that we used vases for the flowers instead of formal arrangements. There were only three - two in the altar window and one in the porch.
Strange, but 'arranging' flowers in a vase takes just as much time as using oasis! The vases were wrapped in white tissue paper and tied with string, though the collar of tissue hides the string somewhat!
Just got to wait and see if they fitted the bill now...
