Before: Louise's wedding

This weekend we also have Louise's wedding. Louise is originally from the Coast but doesn't live close anymore. Luckily she had her Mother - who definitely knows a thing or two about flowers - to help organise things.

I went to visit Louise's Mum for an initial consult to get some ideas together for Louise, only to find that she lived in the same street as the childhood home I had grown up in for 20 years. And not only that, but she was only 2 houses away! It's such a small world.

Louise is having a small wedding so there is only one bouquet to make as well as a couple of buttonholes, a small cake posy and spray, and some flowers for the reception tables.

This is what we are starting with:

From the front left hand side - anticlockwise: ivory david austin roses, whhite freesias, white singapore orchids, white dahlias and up the back are some white lisianthus

I'll show you what we do with them after the weekend!
