Bouquets, bridesmaids and boutonierres

All bouquets, posies and boutonnieres are bespoke and designed by me working closely with the bride. Each flower is handmade using a variety of rich fabrics to a pattern which I have created.

Andy and Lucy’s winter wedding in the City of London. A bouquet of handmade velvet flowers, velvet covered buttons with detailing in gold wire and seed beads. The design was based on the cloisonné brooch used to decorate the velvet and gold wrapped handle. Buttonholes for the groom and groomsmen used handcrafted velvet leaves and velvet covered buttons, corsages for the ladies included a cloisonné brooch with velvet covered buttons and leaves and the bridesmaids each had a headpiece of handcrafted velvet flowers and buttons.

Michelle and Gareth got married in North Wales. A bouquet of peonies and wild flowers including yellow welsh poppies, delphinium, roses, fern, daisies and white tulips. With pearl and glass beads, silver wire, opal and a collection of vintage brooches. Including the pearlized and glass brooch used on the bridal lace handle which picked out the colours of the flowers. Flowers were made with a mixture of satin, silk and silk georgette,
