One of my favourite flowers – the Calla Lily was the star of the show yesterday as I prepared for a wedding. Just the bridal flowers were required as wedding was to be a civil service followed by reception in Fallon & Byrne.
It was kind of an emotional preparation as it will be the last time we prepare for a wedding in my kitchen! We secured a premises in Dublin 12 and it is currently being decorated ready for us to move into.
I used minature white calla lillies for the bridal bouquet, finished simply with ivory satin ribbon and for the bridesmaids, a mix of blush pink and ivory miniature calla lillies finished with purple ribbon to match the dresses.
The Groom’s Buttonhole was a double lily finished with some mini ivy leaves, and the rest of the bridal party received a single lily finished with ivy.
