For Anne-Marie's bouquet, we chose a simple but effective mix of Tenga Venga and Sweet Avalanche roses, some with additional sparkles in the centre of the roses, and wrapped the stems in diamond white ribbon to match the dress, again with additional sparkles used to finish the stems.
For the bridesmaids, we used the Sweet Avalanche paler rose used in Anne-Marie's bouquets and teamed them with Dolce Vita. We also added some pink bouvardia to tie in with the detailing used on the invitations and place settings. For the gorgeous Grace, Gavin decided she had to have a Dolce Vita "wand" which despite her young age she evidently carried beautifully, almose stealing the show!
We decided to use the rose from Anne-Marie's bouquets that the others hadn't used (Tenga Venga) for Gavin and as it is a slightly smaller headed rose, we went for a double buttonhole. For the remaining groomsmen, we went for the Dolce Vita roses used in the bridesmaids' bouquets. Mums had small and delicate corsages with loops of ribbon used to tone them to their outfits.
For the tables, we used a half-mirrored vase as a centrepiece, with a hand-tied bouquet of roses, bouvardia and carnations along with soft foliage. These were tied with fuschia ribbon and each was labelled with the name of the lucky person who could take them home at the end of the day. Empty vases were added to the top table to take the bridal bouquets when the wedding party arrived....they're better kept in water anyway, so why not show them off.
Whilst we didn't get a chance to photograph the cake complete, we provided a small cake topper to sit on the square three tiered cake, matching all the wedding flowers. The photo doesn't look great, but you can see what we decided to do.
