Lots of Lizzies in Tinakilly!

Lisianthus was the feature flower for Sandra’s wedding celebration in Tinakilly House on 16th July! She opted for purple lisianthus posies for her 5 bridesmaids and an elegant teardrop bouquet for herself.

The bridesmaids bouquets were made using a bridal holder and individual blooms of lisianthus positioned in each to create a full, vibrant and unusual posy! We also added a cute butterfly detail to each – butterflies being the theme of the day and featured on Sandra’s Table Name Cards and decoration.

Sandra’s own bouquet was an elegant teardrop creation using white Akito Roses, Crystal Blush miniature white calla lillies and white bouvardia, the foliage used was french soft ruscus and hard ruscus, to create a nice contrast of the dark green framing the white flowers. As is usual with my teardrop bouquets, it is hand-tied and finished with ivory satin surrounding the stems, and a sparkling Butterfly!

We were also asked to decorate the ballroom in Tinakilly. We provided our 90cm Silver Candelabra, with mirror bases and tealights for each table, and silver organza sashes for each chair (chair covers provided by the hotel, RosieDays do also provide Chair covers!)

We finished each candelabra centrepiece with tealights and lisianthus blooms. The weather was gorgeous and the surroundings at Tinakilly are fabulous with a seaview which really adds to the old-world charm of this country house Hotel

Lady in the Chapel..

A beautiful sunny day and a fabulous setting for AnnMarie and John’s wedding on the 16th April in LadyChapel just outside Maynooth. There is just something about LadyChapel, it’s so quaint and set in such beautiful surroundings – right in the middle of fields and country side with little traffic passing and the sounds of nature, it has almost a calming effect!

AnnMarie had fallen in love with the style of a bouquet we had provided for one of our Christmas Bride’s and picked it for her wedding. We arranged it slightly differently, using the hand tied method as apposed to a bridal holder. Her bridesmaids wore deep cerise pink dresses which were perfectly complemented by the deep pink tones in the cymbidium orchids we used in the bouquets.

The bridal bouquet was hand tied in a teardrop fashion, using avalanche roses and cymbidium orchids and the bridesmaids carried sweet avalanche roses tied in a posy with orchids. The flowergirl carried a pomander ball of gypsophilia with orchid details.

In the Church we provided a unity candle arrangement using roses and orchids, a pedestal arrangement for the rear alter, pew ends of ivory tulled with a stem of orchids on each and at the entrance, a dramatic arch framed the doorway, using lots of fresh greenery including ivy and ruscus, with some rose and orchid detail.

SpringField Hotel Showcase

On 20th and 21st February we took part in the Wedding Showcase at the Springfield Hotel, Leixlip. As we are the florists taking part in their “Elite Package” offer we were there to talk to brides and their grooms who had booked or were thinking of booking their wedding with the Springfield – and further afield!!

Over the weekend, we displayed our 90cm Vintage Silver Candelabra in the dining room which had been set up with full dressing for weddings – complete with chair covers and organza sashes – a nice extra to have included in your wedding package! We also displayed our Ivory “Chandelier” candelabra.

Pictured below are the sample bouquets that we created for display at the showcase. An elegant white calla lily and ruscus hand-tied teardrop bouquet, posies of mixed pink roses, a cute flowergirl wand and pomander, white and red rose posies and my favourite of the day- the pale yellow and ivory rose bouquet!
