Wedding Flowers

The flowers - they are purple even though they look blue in this photo

I offered to arrange table decorations for some friends of Charlotte and Ian. Ian is best man at this wedding!
They already had the bird cages so I did some mock up designs and they chose a traditional style of arrangement in cream and cadbury purple.











I put netting in the bottom of the cages and then did the foliage, storing the cages overnight in the cool of the garage.




 The day before the wedding I added the flowers - starting with the roses.

 I then added delphiniums and lisianthus to bring in the purple colour.
The bride is having roses and lisianthus in her bouquet too.
 
A little bow and some flower beads on the open door completed the arrangements. I gave them a good watering and popped them back in the garage ready to take to the venue tomorrow. The arrangements costed out at £5.00 each, not including the cage.
