Hi All,
Can any one help I have a customer who want a vintage theme wedding, you know the type pearls and chiffon any one knowthe name of a realy nice rose, the one that looks oldish please. Many thanks

Hi All, sorry forgot to add any ideas on the room decoration would be very much appreciated.

Cheers all

I did a vintage wedding a while back and we used vendella (peachy cream), metalina/metallica (lillacy/beige) and kamelian (peachy/beige) they are all lovely. The bride had a bouquet of just lilly of the valley but it is very pricey and you need loads of it!


originally the bride wanted lily of the valley everywhere but she settled for it in her bouquet and white hydrangeas to fill out more.

ooh the table plan which wasn't
i'll put some pics in the gallery for you

'Old Dutch' would be my suggestion. Its a lovely pinky/beige quite small but does blow nicely. I have a bride who is collecting jugs from antique stalls and charity shops - thank god thats her job - and I'm arranging hand -ties in them , using rosemary, sedum, Avalanche roses and Illusion roses - which both have that blowsy,romantic feel. Hope this helps?

Got a wedding yesterday which I priced way over the top she wanted small bunches of lily of the valley for everyone including buttonholes and much as I love the flower I hate working with it unfortunately my plot didn't work she handed over her deposit

Do you use the Dutch LOV

Yes but always worried I haven't conditioned it properly and it will wilt this bride to be's family is known to me and when her sister got married all her flowers were wilting by the time she came out of church and everyone knew about it as bestman included it in speech don't know who the florist was but it sure wouldn't have helped her business and bride made sure to also tell us about her sisters flowers thus the reason I priced high actually put extra £30 on bouquets and £40 exta on church arrangements even though there won't be any LOV in them to be honest just don't feel confident with this one but we took the booking so I guess I'll just have to get on with it

Thanks for that info orchid loved the illusion roses, but dont think she will go with the pinky one do you know of a similar one with like a green tinge to it I know that sometimes you can get that on avalanche but something a little more, you know what I mean, and thanks again for your help

Can't say i've ever had any problems with LOV, normally just give it a good drink beforehand. But then i've always used it is oasis holders and not tied bunches, corsages etc. Know it's only tiny but there's still quite a few flowers draining a very fine stem that doesn't hold much moisture. Suppose i've always taken the safe option and talked them into something else for the 'dry' pieces.

Have you tried boeing, they open up beautifully and smeel divine. Becoming really popular among our brides.
