Cake & Flowers **flashes**

sr3693, 20 March, 2011 at 19:51 Posted on Planning 0 4

Hey everyone,

Am excited so thought I'd share Smiley smile

We had our cake & flower consultations yesterday...the cake sounds perfect and tasted sooo good so we are going to book that, just waiting for our quote to be

emailed before we pay the deposit...we have gone for fruit cake for the top layer, carrot cake for the middle layer & lemon sponge for the bottom layer, there will

be bunches of roses on the top and at each side, a bit like the cake below (but without the sashes) and there will also be a butterfly or 2 by each bunch.


We are waiting for the quote from the florist before we can decide if we can afford it, lolll but our ideas are based on the pics below:


bridesmaids flowers, roses & anemones, will be purple & ivory with gold details - more ivory than purple as dresses will be purple!


my flowers, with some added gold detail

Centrepieces will be tall vases, filled with goldish coloured gel, flowers will tie in with all the others and also have some small lights in for the evening, around the bottom will be 3 tea light holders and a few scattered gems!

We are also having matching flowers for registrar table, rose buttonholes & 4 bay trees to make the entrances look pretty, god I hope we can afford it all, it

just sounded perfect! What do you all think?

We were struggling to think of gold & purple flowers but the florist has named a few so will see what she comes up with to mix in Smiley smile

    It looks lovely which gold flowers did your florist recommend? We are thinking about chocolate brown and gold colour scheme but didnt know if we could get flowers in those colours!

    Thank you Smiley smile

    well I asked about roses as I saw a picture of a macarena rose in a warm yellowy colour


    (our gold is very pale, slightly yellow) so though this would pick it up nicely...she is going to order a few in to show me and have a think about some others but she will be adding gold

    beads in and also gold stitching where the bouquet is held together...waiting to see what she

    comes up with really as it's a hard one! have you thought of any?

    I thinks it's more about the details for the gold rather than the flowers themselves...

    have you googled brown and gold wedding flowers in images, you will see what I mean Smiley smile

    same for me..
