Nikki and Dave - The tale of the two Naomi roses


I step into the Spring Wedding season with Nikki and Dave's Wedding at Cubley Hall a even though the weather wasn't looking promising it was still a stunning day.


Nikki knew exactly what she wanted which was Red roses so I recommended Red Naomi roses which smell amazing and is the best quality rose.



Nikki said she didn't want anything formal like just a domed bouquet so I suggested some foliage that was trailing and grasses. It was still an Hand tied bouquet but I gave it the Paeony touch of jasmine trails, lily grass and tree ivy with gorgeous black Berry's to give a different texture and look of the bouquet.

It was also finished with Black satin ribbon and thin red ribbon to give a corset like effect as this was the style of the back her dress.


The bridesmaids was different too with 2 of them being in red and the other in black. Nikki wanted the bridesmaids in red to have White Naomi roses with black ribbon and then red ribbon finish like the brides bouquet and then the bridesmaid in black to have a smaller version to brides bouquet.




The ladies corsages of white freesia and brides mum to have small spray roses.



The grooms buttonhole to theme with the brides bouquet of a red Naomi rose, jasmine and tree ivy.



The venue was at Cubley Hall in Penistone set in their spacious gardens with views over the open countryside, the Victorian Pavilion is a beautiful location for Summer weddings. The old stone floors, high ceilings and massive oak beams create a warm welcoming atmosphere in The Barn which sets the scene for the perfect wedding reception.



These photo's was kindly received by Townend Photography a local photographer based in Barnsley South Yorkshire who has a very relaxed and calming attitude towards his photography. Mark mentioned he was very excited to see the flowers himself as Nikki had mentioned them in their meetings.



Between these two images are the Naomi roses above is Red Naomi and below is White Naomi.

Ideas for a Woodland Wedding



Good morning and I hope you all had a lovely Easter break?

I start this morning with this lovely little feature for those of you who are looking at ideas of getting married in the woods or just like the rustic charm of woodland flowers and foliages.


This gorgeous quirky idea of wearing a flower necklace of Rosa Ranuncula, Kangaroo Paw and Lysmachia finished with blackberries and tree Ivy foliage on a contorted willow frame.
The matching Floral Crown was made with a real feel of a woodland crown with contorted willow.


This other theme was a more subtle colour of Vendella roses, Alstromeria, Tree Ivy with berries and Blackberries, also with a matching bouquet for a wild and natural style.
