Did you know, Tulips are not only one of the most popular Spring flowers, they are the Third most popular flower in the world, after roses and chrysanthemums! While we were working on Caroline’s Wedding on the 19th March, Lorraine was humming the lyrics of this song, here’s a link to it Tulips from Amsterdam i’m humming it now myself!!

Having a Spring wedding meant that Tulips were an appropriate choice (and not one that we see very often). Such simply beautiful flowers need no embellishment or fuss, though the simplicity of the arrangements belies temperamental delicate stalks that can be frustrating to arrange!

Caroline’s own bouquet was composed entirely of white tulips and hand-tied in a teardrop shape. The stems were wrapped in purple satin ribbon to complement the bridesmaids’ dresses. The bridesmaids’ bouquets were hand tied in a posy style and we used white and purple toned tulips, the stems were wrapped with ivory satin ribbon with pearl pin detail.

The ceremony took place in St. Mary’s Church in Lucan Village and we provided the Unity Candle Arrangement, our large wrought iron candelabra and we provided central floral arrangements in the candelabra of tulips, roses and lisianthus, the same flowers were used in the unity candle arrangement.

We also provided 10 wrought iron aisle stands, dressed with natural ivy and using LED candles as naked flame was not permitted in the church.

Congratulations to Caroline & John!
