We had to go that extra mile....

We always go that extra mile for our customers! In January though we had to push the boat out just that little bit more than usual!

Amanda's sister got married at the end of the month so there was no pressure on creating the perfect designs for Tanya and her big day!

Tanya opted for a perfect pomander of blue hydrangea and steel berry with a little trail of Ivy. The pomander handle was an Austrian crystal necklace which belonged to their late great Granny.
The soft delicate heads of the Hydrangea were perfect against Tanya's soft ivory dress.

The bridesmaids ( Amanda included) carried floral muffs. Perfect for that winter weather which thankfully stayed away for the day. The framework was made from a fleece material, covered in layered Stachy leaves, wires wrapped in lily grass and then decorated in Blue hydrangea, blue muscari and steel berry.

The Groom and best men wore thistles with Muscari and hydrangea to match the blue with the brides bouquet and also the bridesmaids.

In the church the alter was lit with pedestals on either side and sphere arrangements on the alter with ivy trails and candle lights.

At the reception giant "snowballs" of massed gypsophlia were the table centers. Based on a mirrored plate and decorated with Diamante pins.

We think its safe to say that Tanya's wedding flowers certainly a different feel to any weddings that we have created before, and even though Amanda was more than ever set to ensure that these wedding flowers were perfect for her little sister, that she really enjoyed the challenge!






Flower classes.

Here at Amanda's we enjoy running casual flower arranging classes. We take it all as a bit of fun but still learn you how to make gorgeous displays using materials you would never think of using.

At the moment we are running our second term in Bettyhill. The ladies come every Wednesday night for two hours for creative laughs and giggles!

We also run classes in Wick and we are looking to expand to area's further out.
If you would be interested in any of our classes give us a call on 01955 606743.

Check out some of the picture's below to see some of the creations the ladies have enjoyed making.
