Bouquet of the Season!

Our mixed pink bouquet really has proved to have been one of the most popular bouquets this year with many of our brides opting for the gorgeous mixed pink and cream tones which compliments many different Bridesmaid dress colour choices!

On the 14th May 2010, Ruth and Mark tied the knot in Co. Carlow and the very helpful Best Man met me to collect the bouquets to bring down to the ceremony venue (phew, no risk of my getting lost as usual!!). Judging by Ruth’s photos, a great day was had and Ruth was a beautiful bride!

The bouquets were handtied posies of Amalia, Barbie and Aqua pink roses and creamy vendella roses. Finished with a Fatsia leaf collar and ivory satin on the bridal bouquet, with deep pink satin on the bridesmaids. We finished the buttonholes with folded fatsia leaves and the corsages were made using an aqua rose surrounded by pink and white lisianthus.

Kilbride – Bride

‘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.

Wedded in Wexford..

Catriona’s wedding was one of 2 weddings by RosieDays on the 12th March 2010 and was held in Crossabeg Church in Wexford, followed by a reception in the Ferrycarrig. Lorraine opted for the delivery and drive to Wexford while I made up and delivered 6 candelabra with centrepieces to a Dublin Hotel (giving me a rare Friday afternoon off so I took myself off for lunch in town and to the pictures to see Alice in Wonderland in 3D!).

I think that Catriona’s bouquet is one of my favourites to date. A gorgeous mix of crystal blush calla lillies, pale pink barbie roses, crisp white avalanche roses and white bouvardia. Finished with a ruscus collar and ivory satin bow.

The 3 Bridesmaids carried posies of bright pink aqua roses, pale pink barbie roses and white avalanche roses with dusky pink lisianthus to add an extra texture. The stems were wrapped in luxurious satin ribbon to complement the colour of the bridesmaid’s dresses.

Caitriona supplied the cute flowergirl basket which we filled with ruscus, white roses and lisianthus and pink lisianthus For the mothers of the Bride and Groom, we created wrist corsages of white lisianthus with pale pink detail and supplied on velvet ribbon.

We also provided 2 large Traditional Pedestal arrangements for the church, a unity candle arrangement and pew end decoration of ivory organza with deep pink satin ribbon detail and bunches of white chrysanthemums.

Trinity College Wedding, 19th December 2009

Congrats to Claire and Eoin who tied the knot on 19th December in Trinity Chapel.

A gorgeous bright, sunny and freezing cold day! The perfect day for my jeep to break down right in front of the chapel of Trinity College! Helped by the kindly Groom, his Best Man and 2 tourists we managed to get my poor motor pushed around to the side of the Church and out of the line of the cameras!! I’m sure they’l make great shots for the album and luckily no dust or dirt transferred itself to the suits of the boys!!

Claire picked a beautiful bouquet for her big day, crisp white calla lillies, with avalanche roses and touches of bouvardia. Finished with soft ruscus and ivory satin ribbon with diamonte detailing. The 3 bridesmaids carried posies of avalanche roses with deep red hypericum berries to compliment the tone of their dresses.

The 2 mother’s corsages were made with a single avalanche rose and white lisianthus to keep them light and delicate and the boys all wore avalanche roses with hypericum berries.
