Beautiful Relaxed Summer Flowers

A wonderfully informal wedding full of lovely personal touches at the lovely Barley Wood House. Abundant designs full of seasonal summer flowers and luxurious garden roses.

Their Floral Style

I was truly honored to be asked to create florals for Polly and Nathan’s wedding day. They wanted elegant, sophisticated designs with an informal, thrown together feel. Together we came up with a beautiful blush, ivory and lavender colour palette.

I created gorgeous, loose, natural style bouquet for the Polly. Packed full of blush colour blooms. The bridesmaids had beautiful summer posies with lavender tones.

Boutonnieres for the boys and lovely ‘thrown together’ flowers for their reception at Barley Wood in Jam jars, bottles and demijohns,

The Mix of Stems

I used a lovely English Summer mix including White O’hara scented Garden roses, stocks, larkspur, campanula, astrantia, gorgeous frothy astilbe and delicate white scabious.

Polly requested that lavender and ferns were included in memory of her lovely mum and New Zealand. I included dried lavender and 3 types of fern in the final design which added such a beautifully unique and personal touch.

Jess and James Orchardleigh New Years Eve

Elegant Winter Florals

Timeless winter whites. I am very happy to share with you this sophisticated winter wedding. Full of luxurious, seasonal blooms with an effortlessly beautiful, natural style.

Their Floral Style

Jess and James wanted classic, elegant flowers with a natural feel for their day. I worked together with the wonderful stylist Liz at Elizabeth Weddings. The simple ivory and white colour palette work so well for this style.

I created a luxurious bouquet for Jess filled with beauuutiful scented garden roses and seasonal seasonal winter flowers. With simple, elegant rose posies for the bridesmaids.

The chaps had classic white rose buttonholes with eucalyptus foliage for details.

I created lovely scented posies for the ceremony to tie to the pew ends with trailing ribbon. The registrars table was adorned with a lovely flowing, delicate arrangement.

For the reception I made high impact, luxurious table arrangements on tall vases filled with hydrangea, trailing foliage and seasonal flowers. I also made sweetheart chair-back designs for the bride and groom (Love these)

The Mix of Stems

I created the bridal designs with a luxurious but simple mix of scented garden roses, avalanche roses, spray roses, white ranunculus with astrantia and wax flower for detail. I mixed in beautiful delicate foliage such as senecio maritima for the lovely soft, pale grey-green colour and berried eucalyptus.

I wanted the large table arrangements and other venue designs to look full but still loose and natural so I used hydrangea mixed in with lots of draping foliage, spray roses, stocks and snap dragons.

Bristol Wedding Florist - Megan Lily Floral Design

Elegantly wild and timeless

A simply stunning winter wedding with effortless, naturally beautiful blooms. Seasonal flowers brought together in a simple white and green colour palette.

Their Floral Style

I loved designing Sophie and Sean’s wedding florals. They wanted an informal feel to their day with natural, elegant designs and a bit of Megan Lily unruliness thrown in.

I created an elegant bouquet for Sophie full of delicate winter blooms and lots of foliage for that touch of wild. Also a delicate waxflower crown which she looks so beauuutiful in. Bridesmaids had wild winter posies.

I made gorgeous foliage and herb boutonierres for the chaps and chapess’s which always make such a lovely personal, unique touch.

For the venue I made simple arrangements of white seasonal flowers with lots of lovely foliage, berries, herbs and seed heads to add a wintery feel. All placed in elegant silver vases.

The Mix of Stems

I used delicate, seasonal winter varieties such as ranunculus and beautiful hellebores which have a lovely natural droop and add gorgeous elegantly errant detail to the designs. I also used Avalanche roses, spray roses, white stocks, white eryngium for texture with wax flower and astrantia for prettiness.

Foliage was so important for this wedding. I chose olive, parvifolia eucalyptus and berried eucalyptus. I also used skimmia for the lovely delicate berries.

Very happy to share Bethany and Stephens beauuutiful wedding flowers with you. I loved putting this timeless, elegant early English summer design together for them. It was lovely to work at the icredible Orangery at Goldeny Hall in Bristol. Such a stunning venue!

Their Floral Style

Bethany and Stephen wanted an informal, simple and elegant feel to the flowers for their wedding day. They asked for a soft pink and ivory colour palette with beautiful seasonal flowers and gorgeous foliage. With the wedding being held in mid June there was an abundance of incredible summer blooms for me to choose from when putting their design together including delicious peonies which of course everyone loves and are a total joy to work with!

I created an informal, just brought together bridal bouquet for Beth and her Bridesmaids held pretty Gypsophila only posies. The boys also had all gypsophila buttonholes. I created some lushiously large pedestal displays for their wedding ceremony at St Barts Church in St Andrews – a place close to the couples heart. I made lovely informal table centres for their reception with informal clusters of jam jars and bottles filled with summer blooms

Their Mix of Stems

I chose an lovely mix of early summer blooms with lots of scented varieties such as stocks and beautiful pale pink Gardenia peonies. I also included Hydrangea, Sweet Avalanche roses, spray roses, scabious and astrantia.
