Competition Winners

Mandi & Eric - ISIS FLOWERS Competition Winners

Back in March this year we ran a competition in conjunction with Limited Edition Magazine. The Prize was £300.00 towards Bridal Flowers and we were really happy to meet our winners Mandi & Eric who were getting married on the 25th June.

Mandi came to see us and chose a Hand Tied Compact Dome Shaped Bouquet of Open Blousey Avalanche Roses with tiny bits of ruscus around the edge. The Roses were decorated with Diamond pins and the stems finished with Ivory Satin Ribbon.

Her young Bridesmaids had a Long Stem Avalanche Rose dressed with Organza and a Diamond pin and both mum went for an Avalanche Rose Buttonhole.

We also did a top table arrangement of two rows of Avalanche Rose Heads in tiny vases.

After the Big Day Mandi & Eric sent us this wonderful picture of them both along with a lovely thank you

'Eric and I would like to say a big thank you for the lovely arrangement of flowers that you supplied for our wedding, they looked absolutely and it is only now that my bouquet has started to die (shame). Also thank you for the photo album that will come in handy for the wedding photo's. Thanks again. Eric & Mandi Douglin

Tatiana & Matt's Wedding

Tatiana & Matt's Wedding

We had the pleasure of both planning and doing the flowers for Tatiana & Matt's Wedding Day at Hartsfield Manor in Surrey and it was a gorgeous day

Tatiana made her entrance down the Grand Wooden Staircase which we had dressed with Pink Star Gazer Lily's - it made for a fabulous frame for her and her very proud father.

Tatiana's bouquet was very unusual - a loose Dome Bouquet of Pink Star Gazer Lily, Black Barraca Roses and Pale Pink Cymbidium Orchids (which we also used for a Garland for their lovely wedding cake) - with diamond pins in the Roses for that finishing touch.

Her Bridesmaids carried Posy's of Avalanche Roses with the Groom wearing a Black Barraca Rose.

The Ceremony Room was dressed

with floor standing 5 Arm Silver Candelabra dressed with foliage and Avalanche Roses, draped with Ivory Pearls.

For the Ceremony Table we created a contemporary arrangement of Avalanche Roses with Pitta foliage and Steel Grass decorated with Pearls

After the Ceremony we moved this arrangement to the centre of the Top Table were it fitted in perfectly.

Each Guest Table was dress with a 5 Arm Silver Candelabra each sitting in a base of Avalanche Roses, Cream Double Lisianthus, Pitta foliage and Steel Grass dressed with Ivory Pearls.

Each Candelabra was draped in Ivory Pearls with Pearls scattered on the Burgundy table cloths to complete the look

Mel & James Wedding 31st December 2010

Mel & James Wedding - 31st December 2010

Mel & James got Married at The Selsdon Park Hotel & Golf Club on New Year's Eve. They chosen a classically elegant style for her Bridal Flowers which really suited the venue and the most importantly the couple themselves.

Mel had a hand tied dome shaped bouquet of Avalanche Roses with folded Aspidistra leaves to frame the bouquet.

The Stems were tied with dark green ribbon and finished with pearl pins. It was beautiful.

Her Bridesmaid had a smaller version of the bouquet but with Ivory ribbon around the stems.

We also made a 'thow away' bouquet for the Bride as Mel wanted to keep her Bouquet and have it preserved.

The Groom and the rest of the male Bridal Party had a single Avalanche Rose with Ruscus.

The couples two Mum's had lapel corsages of Ivory Singapore Orchids on magnets

The couple chose two styles of Table Centre Arrangements with some of the tables having 5 arm Silver Candleabra dressed with Ruscus & Avalanche Roses.

The rest of the tables were dressed with Clear Glass Fish Bowls with Avalanche Roses floating in water with steel grass around the inside.

The Top Table was dressed with 2 Candleabra's and a collection of various sizes of Clear Glass Fish Bowls filled with Avalanche Roses

"To Toni & Claire,

Thank you so much for doing our flowers for our Wedding at Selsdon Park Hotel on New Year's Eve they were beautiful and everyone commented on them.

My bouquet was espeically lovely and I am having it preserved to keep forever

Thank You again Mel & James Hixson"

Natalie & Danny Wedding

We first met Natalie at St Dunstan's Wedding Fair last February and we were thrilled when she booked us to do her Wedding Flowers and Venue Dressing for her wedding to Danny.

Natalie's bouquet was a dome of Red Majestic Lily's & the Groom had a buttonhole made from a Red Majestic Lily & an Ivory Calla Lily

All the Bridesmaids & Groomsmen ( and there was few of them ) had Ivory Arum's & Ivory Calla Lily's.

There Reception Guest Tables had Lily Vases filled with Red

Majestic & Ivory Arums all 33 of them and the room looked stunning with the white chair covers and back drop.

The Top Table had a selection of various size gold fish bowls with Red Majestic & Ivory Arums Lily's wrapped around inside and all the tables were scattered with green crystals

Natalie & Danny sent us a lovely thank you card with these kind words.

"We'd just like to say a huge Thank You to you & the team for helping to make our wedding day the most perfect day for us. Your attention to detail, time management & overall professionalism is impeccable.

So many people commented on the how beautiful the halls was and how lovely the day ran. Without your help this would not have been possible. You and your team have been highly recommended."

Natalie & Danny Monteith - 14th August 2010

Michelle & Ice Wedding

Michelle & Ice Wedding

We loved working with Michelle & Ice on the planning of their Big Day!

They are such a happy and relaxed couple and this was very much the style and theme of their Wedding Day.

Michelle had a smile on her face from the moment the make up artist arrived to do every ones hair and makeup and with a little bit of help from everyone she was in her dress and ready to go............

...............after a few special moments were captured on film




The Ceremony which was being held at St Mark's Church Tonbridge Wells and Ice and his best men were there all ready

After the Ceremony it was smiles & confetti all round & Ice managed a much needed smoke!

The Wedding Breakfast was held at the Spa Hotel in Tonbridge Wells and the couples cream and burgundy theme was carried through not only in their bridal flowers

but also in their accessories and venue dressing

Which included their fabulous wedding cake by Joanna @ The Yummy Cake Company which was personalised with their names

It was a shame to cut the cake but traditional has to be the order of the day, it was then time for some very funny speeches which had Michelle holding her head in her hands

All in all a very beautiful day for a very special couple


A big thank you to Helen England for her stunning photographs
