Did I tell you, that we finally got our worktops organised in the workshop? A chance mention by a visiting Groom-to-be and 1 week later we are happily working at waist-height counters – so much better for our poor ould backs!
Olive’s Wedding, in Ardagh, Longford on the 27th February was the first wedding we got to test run the new benches on! Such a pleasure to have SO Much space to work with, sure beats the days of getting 3 weddings in a weekend prepared in my not very sizeable kitchen – not to mention the toddler “helping”!
Olives’ bridesmaids wore deep red and she had requested one of our most popular bouquets – the fabulous Grand Prix Rose Posy Bouquet – timelessly elegant and velvety rich textured roses. The Bridesmaids carried white avalanche roses, interspersed with large round hypericum berries and all of the bouquets were wrapped in luxurious red velvet embossed satin ribbon.
We also arranged a Unity Candle piece for the Alter and 2 Large Traditional Style pedestal arrangement for the rear of the Alter and Lorraine delivered the bouquets to another happy RosieDays Bride!
Christmas songs playing on my mind with these last posts – and so we have Christmas time, mistletoe and wine……..ok ok so it’s actually Hypericum berries, roses and wine satin ribbon but hey! I blame www.christmasfm.ie for all my song themed titles and hope they are back doing their fantastic fundraising work next year!
AnnMaries’ wedding on the 29th December and a berry theme! Her beautiful dress (that I was shown while in the bridal suite) had fabulous deep red/wine detailing – a gorgeous dress for a gorgeous bride!
The bridal bouquet was made using large white avalanche roses and deep red hypericum berries, finished with wine satin taken from the bridal gown and ivory satin. The 3 bridesmaids bouquets were smaller versions of the bridal, and the stems were wrapped in the gorgeous wine/red satin from the bridal gown, supplied to us by AnnMarie.
For the 2 cute as buttons Flowergirls, we made pomander balls, and again used the sash from the bridal gown for the handles – don’t worry, the wine sash was replaced by the dress makers with an ivory one 
I thought it was a lovely way to incorporate the dress material into the bridal bouquets.
I delivered the bouquets to the Clontarf Castle and now i’m trying to come up with an occasion that merits my husband bringing me there for a night – its’ amazing!!
