On 4th February we created bridal bouquets for Emma Hughes who was married in Rathfarnham Church.
When I first met with Emma, she explained that the bridesmaids would be wearing deep pink dresses and that she would like pink bouquets, but would also like a splash of purple in her own! So, I suggested mixed pink tones and I think they turned out very well – Emma was very happy with them!
We used stunning two-toned deep pink “Amalia” Roses, Bright Pink “Aqua” rose and the pretty pale pink, aptly named “Barbie” Rose. Hand-tied together with gorgeous creamy vendella roses and a small amount of deep purple lisianthus in the brides’ bouquet. We finished the bridesmaid’s bouquets with luxurious deep-pink velvet to match their dresses and the bridal bouquet stems were wrapped in ivory satin and finished with pearl pins.
We also provided our Bay Trees at the front of Rathfarnham Church, dressed with Organza and deep pink satin ribbon.
31st January – New Year’s Eve, brought us to the wedding of Gail and her fiance – the venue – The Tinakilly House Hotel in Rathnew, Co. Wicklow.
Tí na Coille – House of the Wood – a Victorian mansion steeped in history, for more information click here.
Gail had requested a tear drop bouquet, with lots of natural green foliage, white roses and deep pink orchids. A beautiful combination and something a little different! Bouquets made using individual orchid blooms involve a lot of work! Each bloom is wired individually and taped, to hide the wire and seal the stem of the orchid. The roses, and greenery that we used – tree fern and soft ruscus were arranged in a bridal bouquet holder in a soft, loose teardrop shape.
We used some of the fabulous orchids again in the 2 bridesmaids bouquets and tied them together in a posy along with sweet avalanche roses, finished with a soft ruscus collar and deep fuschia satin ribbon handles.
Gail also commisioned us to provide our Vintage Style Silver Candelabra to complete the look at the reception venue at Tinakilly House. The vintage style of the candelabra perfectly were the perfect compliment to the period house backdrop at Tinakilly. We provided our square mirrored bases and dressed the candelabra with delicate strands of natural ivy.
