‘The Best Day to Marry’
(Traditional Rhyme UK)
‘Monday for wealth,
Tuesday for health,
Wednesday best day of all,
Thursday for losses,
Friday for crosses,
And Saturday no luck at all.’
Congrats to Jennifer Clarke who got married today in Kilbride Church, Co. Meath – Tuesday for Health according to the old rhyme (although as a 4 years married Saturday Bride I do wonder how accurate the rhyme is!). A first for RosieDays with a Tuesday wedding (and fun trying to arrange childcare for 2 working mummies who’s boys go to creche on Thursdays and Fridays – Jnr. came along for the spin to the wholesalers yesterday to collect our flowers and today my inlaws stepped in this morning while I delivered the bouquets and arrangements!)
We are seeing a real trend in pink bouquets this Spring, from pale pink and ivories to a bouquet like Jennifer’s today with mixed pink tones. A really lovely choice and so vibrant and cheerful. Here we used the gorgeous deep pink two-toned Amalia Rose, lighter pink Aqua rose and beautiful creamy vendella roses. With pearl pin detail and a ruscus collar, the stems were wrapped with ivory satin and finished with a bow detail.
The 3 bridesmaids carried posies to complement the bride’s using vendella and aqua roses and the stems were wrapped with smokey grey satin ribbon to complement their charcoal grey dresses. We also made a cute gypsophilia pomander with pale pink rose detail for the flowergirl.
Mums were given corsages of pink and white lisianthus with a deep pink rose and all the boys wore double vendella rose buttonholes.
Our final orders were 2 Large arrangements for the rear of the alter in Kilbride church.
Another Beautiful Wedding… if I ever get him up the aisle, you are booked.
Beautiful arrangement. Interesting insight into how much juggling you had to do as a mother to make the whole thing come off, thank God for family. Interestingly, I was at a wedding in Kibride Church 20 years ago and I wore a pink flowery dress. I was clearly ahead of my time.
