Downtown Abbey Wedding style



All you fans of Downton Abbey, let's take inspiration from the wedding flowers. An elegant yet simple bouquet of white arum Lillies. Simple to recreate and inexpensive too! 



A quantity of 7 white Zantadescia Arum Lilies, bear grass or fern foliage. White satin ribbon. 
Beautiful. Elegant and Stylish. 


Winter white

Ethereal. Yet surprisingly inexpensive and stunning used en mass

 The perfect time for a winter white theme. The snow queen in a fairytale fantasy setting of white flowers, sparkling silver twigs and ice crystals.

Simple bouquets of white flowers, roses and hypericum with ivy.

Cobalt blue flowers for weddings

Bright cobalt blue is one of the colours for 2013, but for wedding flowers blue is not always an easy colour to use.

These bright blue orchids floating in water in glass vases would make simple and elegant centrepieces.

I saw these trees with blue painted trucks in London, and thought of using branches painted blue for a themed wedding. 

And for the bridal bouquet?
And these blue shoes would be cute.
With the bridesmaids blue dresses.

April wedding flowers- violets

When I think of April, I immediately think of violets!

The beautiful flowers of velvety purple with the most exquisite perfume.

If your wedding is of a vintage theme, then violets would be perfect.
Simple yet elegant.

Why not perfume your wedding venue with their scent too, and wear a violet inspired perfume like Penhaligon Violetta, at the less expensive Yardley April Violets.

A timeless choice, as my mother had these in her wedding bouquet.
For bridesmaids dresses, pick out any one of the jewel tones in the flowers.
