New wedding consultation room!

Have a look at the picture below, it's greenwheat flowers wedding consultation room, this was previously a little used attic room that was damp (from a leaky roof) and had a pink carpet and wood chip wallpaper walls, we've been very busy since autumn mending the roof, taking a wall out, adding built in cupboards and finally the best bit decorating it!

Sarah's Bouquets and buttonholes

Here are some more photos of Sarahs flowers in the bouquets there was Black Baccara and Nadia roses with birch twigs and rosemary, with a collar of trailing ivy, and the twiggy tree is a birch which I sprayed with Oasis flat white spray and added raffia bows and ivy, whilst I was preparing for this wedding it was the week between Christmas and New Year, and Great Expectations was on the tele which inspired me. Florist Zita Elze created the very gothic flowers for the programme and there was alot of gloomyness with white cobwebs, so this convinced me to spray the twigs white to make them stand out against the dark of the church (we were hoping it would have snowed and the twigs would have stood out as dark against it!),

To finish the year of I had the lovely new years wedding of Carl and Sarah at kirkoswald ( what a lovely church with an amazing walk to it!) here's a few photos of the bouquets and I'll add some more when I've worked out how to move them about on the computer!
