Purple and orange bar mitzvah flowers at LCCC

Over the bank holiday weekend we've been busy bees!

We were asked to do the flowers for Justin's Bar Mitzvah at The Point, Lancashire County Cricket Club.




For the low designs we used a dome of flowers placed on a LSA goldfish bowl with threaded orchids heads within the vase. For the flowers we used purple mokara orchids, orange 'Naranja' roses, orange gerbera and lots of lovely foliage's.


For the tall designs we used tall orange psittacorum with a dome of purple mokara orchids with lots of rolled leaves and exotic foliage's. We used tall slim vases filled with purple water and underwater lights for added effect.

Thornton manor Wedding Venue Flowers

Thornton Manor is a gorgeous wedding venue set out on the Wirral.
Louise and Chris got married last year and whilst sorting out some photos on my computer I realised I hadn't blogged this wedding which is a shame as it was a lovely wedding and a real pleasure to do their flowers.


Louise said that she wanted the flowers to look 'scruffy' and 'wild'.
For her bouquet we used ivory peonies, 'Patience' David Austin roses, long, flowing sweet peas, Veronica and lots of lovely foliages.


In the entrance we used tall white larkspur to create height and then a loose, flowing design in a rustic style urn to complement the venue's styling.



We did a large floor standing candleabra on either side of the registrars table and each chair had a flower design on to line the aisle.


Candleabra were used on each table with each design being a little different to the next.


The top table had a selection of hurricane vases and tealights with draped hanging amaranthus, long trailing sweet peas and clusters of flower heads.



I hope you've enjoyed looking at the photos of the wedding as much as we enjoyed doing the flowers.
