Gothic Style Fairytale wedding

Sat, 21 Jan 2012 22:18:00 GMT

I wanted to share with you this fabulous gothic style fairytale wedding… It was a pleasure to design and make Louise and Adam’s wedding flowers. Louise loves the colour purple and everything gothic, her inspiration for her wedding style comes from the art of Victoria Frances..

The wedding venue was Highbury Hall in Birmingham http://www.weddingvenues.com/venue
This venue has wonderful gothic features, perfect for an autumn or winter wedding.

Their stunning wedding pictures were taken by Jon Hindmarch from http://www.newtonphotography.co.uk.

Louise decided on silk wedding flowers from Pink Corsage. The bridal hand-tied bouquet
Purple Rain design consisted of deep Cadbury purple roses silver beaded cage finished off
with a black feather collar. The wedding tables were completed with matching silk flower arrangements and purple and black rose petals...

I am sure you will agree Louise and Adam look stunning on their wedding day !

Silk flowers are fantastic alternative, they are becoming more popular with the modern brides due to their versatility and cost. Silk flowers look strikingly real, great quality and they last forever…

A few reasons for using silk flowers at your wedding…..

Silk flowers have an exceptional realism in fact they look so realistic, only intense scrutiny will prove otherwise. Silk wedding bouquets are durable and practical; they will stand up to the wear and tear through the wedding by enthusiastic the young bridesmaids! The bouquets and buttonholes stay looking great whatever the weather, no wilting or brown edges by the time you walk down the aisle……

Silk wedding flowers can be more affordable than fresh flowers if you’re working to a budget. They are cost effective and if you’re short on time you can order online from 'Pink Corsage'. This gives you a wider choice and they are guaranteed to arrive looking their best.

Silk flowers have the advantage of being available all year round which means you can get the flowers you want regardless of season. Your wedding is special and needs to be unique to you. No need to compromise on the colour or type of flower just because it is not in season. You can go wild with the possibilities!

Your hand tied silk wedding bouquet would look perfect stood in a glass vase in your bedroom and you can gaze at it every day with happy memories of your special day. The table decorations make great gifts for the family or you can use them in your home… silk flowers retain their value you can also resell them if you wish.Silk wedding flowers are great for forward planning, which means you can buy your silk flowers months before the wedding, you can relax before your wedding day knowing that your beautifully silk wedding flowers will look great on the day, last indefinitely and keep you on budget for the big day !

Welcome to my first blog post !

At last the new website is complete and up and running. I decided a blog was a great way to bring you the latest news, pictures of my lovely brides, products, services and articles about ‘Pink Corsage’.

For those of you who don’t know much about me, I thought I would start the first blog post by telling you more about ‘Pink Corsage’. Based in the picturesque coastal town of Goodwick, Pembrokeshire, I live with my husband Paul and work from my studio which is housed in our Victorian four storey home.

My Home !

All my wedding bouquets, corsages etc… are designed and handmade by myself! I love working with feathers, wiring and sparkle and I take pride in what I do and my bespoke work is created with loving care and attention to detail by using interesting and decorative accessories and by incorporating contempory and traditional design.

Silk flowers are a great alternative for your wedding or for a special occasion and they are lasting memories that you can keep forever. So whether you’re getting married or just throwing a party why not take a look around!

Best wishes
