Autumn ... liquid amber



Autumn is very, very nearly here. Some of the liquidamber trees near the shop are just starting to turn red, and the nights are definitely longer, and cooler.

Yesterday, I made bouquets for a bride who had 6 bridesmaids, all of whom were wearing creamy-yellow long gowns. The bride had seen the orange posy which features on the Calypso Flowers website, but wanted to incorporate more of the yellowy orange tones. The posies feature 4 different coloured roses, together with red freesias (with a yellow throat), and beautiful hypericum berries. I can't wait to see some photos from the wedding itself !

The bride carried creamy white roses, with white freesias, green privet berries, and 'Jade' floating Singapore orchids. It was sooo pretty !
