One of last week's weddings was at London Golf Club, which we haven't done for a little while. Victoria and Aaron were married in Borough Green and then moved to the London Golf Club for their reception. Their bridesmaids were in magenta pink and hence we wanted to bring the colour into the flowers without it being too overpowering. We mixed magenta with paler lilies to give a more toned down feel. 
Overall they wanted a sophisticated feel and loved the phalaenopsis orchids and lilies. I haven't mixed the two flowers in a bridal bouquet before but it worked out pretty well I think....I was worried that the lilies would overpower the orchids, but as we recessed them a little it seemed to work. The bridesmaids carried elegant overarm bouquets which complemented the bridal bouquet perfectly.
Victoria and her family were pleased to see us, and all tried out their bouquets for size whilst we were there.....her Dad had always joked about carnation buttonholes, despite the fact that orchid buttonholes were chosen for the big day, so we delivered a "spoof" carnation buttonhole just for him (with an orchid in reserve!!) He was evidently planning to take it to the church with him!
I'm looking forward to seeing some photos as the dress was gorgeous and the petticoat to go under it absolutely huge! They had to make a few changes to the church so that Victoria would comfortably be able to take her vows, so I can't wait to see her wearing the beautiful gown.
..it's funny how you sometimes don't notice the details when setting up for a wedding, e.g. the ceiling of the reception room is painted blue with fluffy clouds....you'll see it on the photos and I hadn't noticed it before. I guess I need to keep my eyes open and not be quite so focussed on our flowers all the time!
