On 10th July, Suzanne married Richard in Clontibret, Co. Monaghan. As with most weekends this summer, it rained, heavily, all day!! Lorraine and I loaded up the trusty van and headed on a road trip via Blanchardstown for Bouquet Delivery!
Suzanne chose to have something a little different for her bouquet, though we used one of our most popular combinations of flowers this season, calla lillies, avalanche roses and freesia. Suzanne opted for a structured, modern appearance, finished with variagated pittosporum foliage.
Suzanne’s 3 bridesmaids wore beautiful teal blue satin dresses (a very popular choice this year!) and carried posies of akito and avalanche roses mixed through with freesia and collared with pittosporum foliage. The two gorgeous flowergirls carried traditional baskets of flowers.
We made elegant corsages for the ladies of delicate dendrodium orchids and the lads wore akito rose buttonholes, the groom sported a calla lily!
In the Church, we provided our “Candlelight Package” – 10 Wrought Iron Aisle Stands dressed with natural Ivy, 2 Grand Candelabra - dramatic 7ft tall wrought iron candelabra that stand either side of Alter, with 5 pillar candles and dressed with natural ivy, pew ends decorated on this occasion with a single avalance rose bloom and trailing ivy. Finally Bay Trees guarded the front entrance!
Lorraine and I took the “scenic route” to Monaghan, via the N3, not the M1 as we were supposed to!! It took us 2 hours from Blanchardstown to get there, and 1 hour to get home!! Luckily as we always allow plenty of time we arrived with time to spare! This was the day that we decided we needed official RosieDays Raincoats!! We were drenched through several times that day – including our run from the carpark in Monaghan town to the hotel where we had lunch!!
On 1st July Tara and Eric were married in Laytown Church, Co. Meath. I’ve blogged about the view behind the alter in this particular church before, on this day the sun was shining and the sea was just amazing!!
Tara chose Gerbera’s in mixed pink tones for both her own bouquet and the Bridesmaids and Flowergirl. Tara’s own bouquet had deeper shades of pink while the girls carried paler pink tones which complimented the turquoise dresses perfectly!!
In the Church, we provided 2 Large Pedestal Arrangements either side of the alter and decorated the pew ends with ivory shimmering organza and 2 gerberas with a folded aspidistra leaf.
Dear Readers..I must apologise for the lack of posts lately! I was without my right arm (aka Laptop) for two weeks while it was being repaired and upgraded, and I got it back wiped clean!!! So, thankfully photos had all been backed up and I now have the lovely task of re-sorting 1000’s of photos and emails – joy!
So, bear with us and we will get back up and running asap with our blog posts – we have a lot to catch up on as we have been very busy this wedding season, with 6 weddings last week and 3 this week! Enjoying every minute of it!
Sinead & Lorraine
A traditional bouquet choice for Ciara Lynch on 4th June when she was married in St. Kevins in Kinsealy. Ciara organised all the wedding details from Galway and chose classic Red Roses (we used Red Naomi) for her own bouquet with bear grass and pearl detail and white roses for her 2 bridesmaids which we finished with a gysophilia collar.
We also provided 2 Grand Candelabra dressed with Ivy for the alter and pew end decoration of a red rose, ivy and ivory tulle. The weather on the 4th June was absolutely stunning, Lorraine and myself enjoyed a lovely lunch in the sunshine in Siam Thai in Malahide before returning to collect the Candelabra and Bay Trees.
