Gothic Style Fairytale wedding

Alison Rackley - Friday, January 20, 2012

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 !

Are you considering silk flowers for your wedding

Alison Rackley - Thursday, November 17, 2011

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 !

Best Wishes
