Wedding Civil Ceremony & Church Flower Decoration

As a Bride getting married it is nice to see the options available to you in flowers to decorate your reception, church, marquee or indeed maybe your home too.  

Our Advanced Bridal Course for our Flower Arranging Students saw them creating an array of different designs and displays for wedding that can be so versatile they can be used in many different ways 

Below are just some of the designs covered on this module and we were lucky enough to have wedding florist Treacy from Ger's Flowers on this module she brought along some of her stands and also took some photos in their showrooms also 

Above is a small candelabra stant with an all Gyp centerpiece.  

This is the same candelabra but the students brought a more vintage theme by adding small pink spray roses to the gyp ball 

This large Candelabra from Ger's Flowers was designed by the students by adding a Gyp and Rose Ball to the top and a ring of Gyp and Lillies to the lower section - as this was done in a class environment we encourage the students to work with an array of flowers, ideally both parts of the would be the same.   Either all Gyp & Roses or all Gyp and Lillies. 

This is the same Candelabra in Ger's Show Room with only the Gyp and roses ball but included is some ivy and gym trailing down the stand 

Above is a Lilly & September Flower Topiary Tree, these can look great on either side of the alter or each side of the doorway you will walk through.

Above here we have added the Topiary Tree Ball to a Candelabra witch gives it a totally different look 

More designs 

A unity candle arrangements looks amazing on the top table too, ask one of your guests to take the Unity Candle Arrangements with them from the Church to the Hotel 

Contemporary arrangements can be added to Candelabra stands, Pew Ends, Back of seats & doors.

Fish bowls create a stunning centre piece, they can be used as table centres, alter arrangements, and also line the aisle you walk up.

Lots of Easter stock in too with a choice of chickens and hens, eggs and even sheep :)

How cute is this sheep, he would definitely be a talking focal point for any shop window , they had a larger version too 

These Eggs on sticks wiil add that to any Easter Flower Arrangement or Hand Tied Bouquet

Would you like to become a Wedding Florist ?

We were delighted to see our returning students arrive for their Beginners Bridal Course recently, some of them already had weddings booked in in the coming months.  
We also had a couple of new students who had not being to our Flower School before and it didnt take them long to fit in. 

Beginners Bridal Floristry

Day 1 was a busy start to the course with the students making 2 different styles in Hand Tied Bridal Bouquets.  One being of Beautiful White Avalanche Roses and the other of Mixed Bridal Flowers in shades of pink.  Sweet Avalanche, large & baby carnations, hyperican berry, spray roses, wax flower & cymbidium,  Germini, Dianthus, Pink Gyp, Pittisporum & Eucalyptus.

What would be your favorite if you had to choose?

Day 2 saw the students learning wiring and taping techniques and putting together bridal buttonholes, corsages, and flower girls wands.  Although the did initially find the wiring and taping difficult, it wasn't long until they had mastered the floristry techniques. 

Day 3 is probably one of the most difficult days as this is where true floristry skills is put to the test.  The students initially begin by creating an all wired posie bouquet then go on to turn it into a teardrop bridal bouquet. ( teardrop/ shower  bouquets are becoming more and more popular again ) 

Day 4 

Our students now learn how to create all the accessories that complete a wedding order.

Flower Girls Hoops, Flower Girls Pomanders, Flower Girls Baskets, Peace Roses, and they also design their own Contemporary Bridal Bouquet. 

On completing our Beginners Bridal Course most of our Students wishing to specialise in wedding and Bridal Floristry will go on to do our Advanced Bridal Floristry and Church Flower Design Course.
