Suzie’s Wedding – Regal in Monaghan, despite the rain!

On 10th July, Suzanne married Richard in Clontibret, Co. Monaghan. As with most weekends this summer, it rained, heavily, all day!! Lorraine and I loaded up the trusty van and headed on a road trip via Blanchardstown for Bouquet Delivery!

Suzanne chose to have something a little different for her bouquet, though we used one of our most popular combinations of flowers this season, calla lillies, avalanche roses and freesia. Suzanne opted for a structured, modern appearance, finished with variagated pittosporum foliage.

Suzanne’s 3 bridesmaids wore beautiful teal blue satin dresses (a very popular choice this year!) and carried posies of akito and avalanche roses mixed through with freesia and collared with pittosporum foliage. The two gorgeous flowergirls carried traditional baskets of flowers.

We made elegant corsages for the ladies of delicate dendrodium orchids and the lads wore akito rose buttonholes, the groom sported a calla lily!

In the Church, we provided our “Candlelight Package” – 10 Wrought Iron Aisle Stands dressed with natural Ivy, 2 Grand Candelabra - dramatic 7ft tall wrought iron candelabra that stand either side of Alter, with 5 pillar candles and dressed with natural ivy, pew ends decorated on this occasion with a single avalance rose bloom and trailing ivy. Finally Bay Trees guarded the front entrance!

Lorraine and I took the “scenic route” to Monaghan, via the N3, not the M1 as we were supposed to!! It took us 2 hours from Blanchardstown to get there, and 1 hour to get home!! Luckily as we always allow plenty of time we arrived with time to spare! This was the day that we decided we needed official RosieDays Raincoats!! We were drenched through several times that day – including our run from the carpark in Monaghan town to the hotel where we had lunch!!

Eimear & Derek, 7th November 2009

A Scottish Groom and a Sligo Bride, who both arranged this wedding from Chicago U.S.A.! A pleasure to work with, Eimear was stunning on the day (and the groom scrubbed up well too)

The Church was St. Patricks in Curtlestown, Enniskerry, a quaint stone building set against the backdrop of the Wicklow mountains. We began by installing the Grand Wrought Iron Candelabra that were dressed with beautiful full central arrangement of Ruscus, Avalanche Roses, Thistles and lucious trailing greenery.

The Alter Unity Candle arrangement carried through the theme of thistle and roses, and also had deep purple lisanthus to add an extra depth of colour. We trimmed the Pew Ends with Organza Tulla wrapped around Avalanche Roses and Thistles, our luxurious Satin Covers for the Bride and Groom’s Chair completed the indoor decoration, and with a finishing touch, a pair of Bay Trees Dressed with Ivory Tulled graced the church doors.

The bridal bouquet was created in the hand-tied style, using avalanche roses, deep purple lisianthus, gorgeous delicate singapore orchids and of course, a hint of thistle as a nod to the Scottish element of the day! The Bridesmaid, who wore a gorgeous, handmade purple dress carried a complementary bouquet of roses, thistle and lisianthus. For the gorgeous flowergirl, we created a pomander ball of white chrysanthemums and deep purple lisianthus buds.

Of course, while we were in Enniskerry, a business lunch had to be had in Avoca cafe in Powercourt

Confetti Magazine Winter Edition 2009

A proud morning on Friday when the post arrived with our copy of this season’s edition of Confetti Magazine!

Our fab new add is on page 42 right beside the fashion shoot “Renaissance and Romance”.

Lorraine and I headed down to the fab Borris House in Co. Carlow in the early hours of a crisp Monday morning with a car full of flowers and candelabra. We were greated by Amy Furlong – Advertising Exec., Roxanne Parker – Stylist and Kip Carroll – Photographer.

We had a wonderful day and were extremely well looked after by the lovely owners of Borris House with homemade soup and sandwiches for lunch following a decadent mid-morning breakfast of fresh scones in front of a roaring fire in the ballroom.

It was a great experience, seeing how a fashion shoot was organised and being a part of it, and feeling ever so slightly jealous of the gorgeous (and so nice!) model – Isabella.

Mount Argus Wedding

We were busy yesterday setting up for a wedding in the awesome Mount Argus in Terenure.

Featured here are our Spectacular Grand Wrought Iron Candelabra, standing at over 8ft tall with candles, these really do add something special to the alter display! Shown here with a floral centrepiece (and without the central candle, my mistake!!) these can also be provided simply with candles and dressed with trailing natural ivy.

Also shown are the matching wrought iron aisle stands, shown in here with artificial ivy but generally provided dressed with natural ivy and again, with or without floral arrangement beneath the candle.

Leading the way when it comes to innovative new ideas – we have come up with a solution to a problem we are encountering lately – sometimes churches will not allow open flame, however we have available LED Pillar Candles with flickering LED flame – looks just like the real thing and 100% safe!
