Lots of Lizzies in Tinakilly!

Lisianthus was the feature flower for Sandra’s wedding celebration in Tinakilly House on 16th July! She opted for purple lisianthus posies for her 5 bridesmaids and an elegant teardrop bouquet for herself.

The bridesmaids bouquets were made using a bridal holder and individual blooms of lisianthus positioned in each to create a full, vibrant and unusual posy! We also added a cute butterfly detail to each – butterflies being the theme of the day and featured on Sandra’s Table Name Cards and decoration.

Sandra’s own bouquet was an elegant teardrop creation using white Akito Roses, Crystal Blush miniature white calla lillies and white bouvardia, the foliage used was french soft ruscus and hard ruscus, to create a nice contrast of the dark green framing the white flowers. As is usual with my teardrop bouquets, it is hand-tied and finished with ivory satin surrounding the stems, and a sparkling Butterfly!

We were also asked to decorate the ballroom in Tinakilly. We provided our 90cm Silver Candelabra, with mirror bases and tealights for each table, and silver organza sashes for each chair (chair covers provided by the hotel, RosieDays do also provide Chair covers!)

We finished each candelabra centrepiece with tealights and lisianthus blooms. The weather was gorgeous and the surroundings at Tinakilly are fabulous with a seaview which really adds to the old-world charm of this country house Hotel

Lady in the Chapel..

A beautiful sunny day and a fabulous setting for AnnMarie and John’s wedding on the 16th April in LadyChapel just outside Maynooth. There is just something about LadyChapel, it’s so quaint and set in such beautiful surroundings – right in the middle of fields and country side with little traffic passing and the sounds of nature, it has almost a calming effect!

AnnMarie had fallen in love with the style of a bouquet we had provided for one of our Christmas Bride’s and picked it for her wedding. We arranged it slightly differently, using the hand tied method as apposed to a bridal holder. Her bridesmaids wore deep cerise pink dresses which were perfectly complemented by the deep pink tones in the cymbidium orchids we used in the bouquets.

The bridal bouquet was hand tied in a teardrop fashion, using avalanche roses and cymbidium orchids and the bridesmaids carried sweet avalanche roses tied in a posy with orchids. The flowergirl carried a pomander ball of gypsophilia with orchid details.

In the Church we provided a unity candle arrangement using roses and orchids, a pedestal arrangement for the rear alter, pew ends of ivory tulled with a stem of orchids on each and at the entrance, a dramatic arch framed the doorway, using lots of fresh greenery including ivy and ruscus, with some rose and orchid detail.

Vintage Elegance, Rosie Style

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.

Silver Bells

One of my favourite Christmas songs is “Silver Bells” so I thought that title was particularly apt. for the bouquets we did for Martina on 29th December.

Martina requested specifically that we use silver details in the bridesmaids’ bouquets and unity arrangement – to compliment the deep aubergine colour of the dresses. Her own bouquet was a more modern style arrangement in a teardrop shape.

For the Bridesmaids, we used gorgeous avalanche roses that opened beautifully, to add the silver elements, we used gypsophilia that we sprayed silver to keep the appearance light. The bouquets were finished with a small collar of soft ruscus greenery and silver satin ribbon. We added Diamonte pins for a final flourish – to match the sparkle of snow that covered the country over Christmas!

Martina’s bouquet was created on a bridal posy holder, using avalanche roses, white miniature calla lillies and white lisianthus. Deep green camelia leaves framed the bouquet and we folded variagated formium throught the bouquets to create contrast. The teardrop shape was finished with calla lillies and bear grass.

The unity arrangement was made using various foliage including camelia, berried ivy, ruscus and phoneix palm. We also used some ruscus that had been sprayed with silver to create the silver highlights and finished the arrangement with large white avalanche roses.
