Nikki is a photographer, and knows exactly what works in wedding photographs with regards to flowers and hence we needed to get the flowers just right for her. She wanted a soft, romantic, open and rustic English Country floral theme. This normally leads to a more loose and random arrangement of flowers, but Nikki knew that whilst she wanted this look, she also wanted symmetry.
For Nikki's bouquet, we wanted an ivory and pale pink combination and used Esperance and Avalanche roses along with spray roses and the beautifully scented stephanotis. We still managed to get the slightly vintage, rustic feel to the bouquet whilst giving the symmetry Nikki wanted in her photos (and it smelt gorgeous!)
For the bridesmaids, we scaled the rose bouquets according to age and size and kept them largely pale pink in colour ending up with an Esperance rose wand for the flower girl.
Buttonholes followed the overall theme with John having the Esperance rose, and all other male guests having Avalanche, all backed with a lovely sprig of rosemary. At the venue we simply floated gerbera heads in palest pink in fishbowls provided by Nikki. Hopefully all the photos turned out beautifully and I don't think we will have problems getting copies when Nikki is back!
