A family piece of jewellery from a loved one that is no longer with them can be attached to the handle of the bridal bouquet.
When first making contact with a couple i would arrange a free consultation usually in the comfort of my design studio, or at a couple home. Sometimes a bride likes to bring along her Mother, other relatives and friends. All are welcome as i like a relaxed atmosphere where the bride feels at home. I request that a bride brings along any pictures and samples of ideas that she has seen and liked. I have a form that i will complete as we go along, discussing bouquets, bridesmaids, buttonholes, venue flowers, church flowers, containers, etc. I have a large selection of books and magazines to look through as well as samples of decorative accessories that can be added to the designs. I am there to guide a couple with season flower choices and will point out any issues i can foresee with any designs that they have chosen. I will then provide a couple with a itemised quotation along with hire charges if required and a colour board for each bridal arrangement. A 20% deposit secures the order and their day. The balance is due one month prior to the wedding date. I will keep in contact from the time of ordering through to the wedding date and happy to make alterations if required.
Feathers, Pampas grasses, dried elements, sparkle, ribbons!!
Table arrangements can be gifted to guests so they can continued to be enjoyed for that little bit longer.
Bridal flowers can be preserved in resin to keep as a memento of the day. Resin items such as paperweights, resin letters and pictures can be a lovely memory of the day.
