Beautiful images by photographer Lisa O’Dwyer of the Tipperary wedding of Bo and Talbot we did a couple of weeks ago (you saw her bouquets and buttonholes in our last post)…just stunning!  It’s really hard to get good photos of church flowers and she captured them perfectly, love all the detail.  Thanks to Bo and Lisa for sharing the photos!

We’ve been really busy with weddings the last few weeks, working hard to post photos of all the designs we’ve come up with lately!  Just love how these really vintage-y, petite little bouquets came out, with matching buttonholes featuring feathery limonium and astrantia.  The bouquets feature ranunculus, anemone, and roses and are a great late spring/early summer combination.  This style would work just as well with summer flowers, lavender would be great in these!

We took a little break during the week and headed down to Kerry, had a pub lunch and a poke around the shops in Kenmare, and discovered a new flower shop opened there!  Bluebell Flowers was opened late last year by Daniela, who is a talented florist with a delicate touch.  Her arrangements are stylish and minimalist but very pretty and fresh.  She had a lovely selection of fresh flowers as well as some stunning arrangements created with wildflowers she had collected herself from the surrounding countryside.

I couldn’t resist taking a few photos in her shop as there is a beautiful light and atmosphere in there, in a lovely location just set off the main street.  She had sweet little arrangments prepared for Easter, but I especially liked how she displayed her fresh flower stock, including these gorgeous paperwhites in storage jars.

Bluebell is located in Henry Street in Kenmare, and offers local deliveries daily, contact Daniela on 087 181 3831 or visit online at www.bluebellflowers.ie.

Busy with weddings over the weekend, including this beautiful garden themed wedding.  The bridal bouquet featured Sweet Avalanche roses and white anemones set against a selection of early summer flowers.  Sweet little ‘bunchy’ buttonholes of Cool Water roses with anemone and waxflower, and bridesmaids to match.

The reception took place at the Grain Store at Ballymaloe, where we filled the tables with vases of garden style flowers, including large enamel jugs on the window and top table.  It looked stunning and smelled amazing!

We did the most beautiful spring wedding flowers last week, the bride chose this vibrant combination of anemone, tulips, and roses, and they turned out so amazing!  The bridesmaid wore cobalt blue, and the matching ribbon just made the colours pop, just stunning.

Anemone are a great choice for spring weddings, great value and come in brilliant bright colours as well as the popular white variety with the black centre.  Perfect for all the navy and royal blue bridesmaids’ dresses that are fashionable right now.

We also went with anemones for the buttonholes, and they were perfect!  Added cerise ribbon for an extra pop of colour and to tie in with the theme.  Love anemones!  Everyone getting married in February has to have anemones now, new rule!

Love this vintage lace wedding theme from HeartLoveWeddings.com…pretty paper nosegay cones and crochet lace rosettes in the bouquets!
