silk flower hibs can i pick your brains?

Tracy-bubbliscious, 21 April, 2008 at 10:14 Posted on Planning 0 6

HI i have a client getting married in 3 weeks time, she is wanting silk petals for her tables
the roses we are using for her centrepieces are passion roses (these are to be real)
now the problem i have is that the silk petals i have are too red for her and she wants a more burgundy/red wine coloured red rather than red. the only alternative i've been able to find so far have been called burgundy but are edging more towards purple which wont be right at all
so i'm wondering whether you know if there is an alternative
i know we can use fresh petals from the same rose but the venue arent keen on fresh petals and the bride isnt keen ont he increased cost
thanks in advance of any help ?

Tracy xx

    Hi Tracey

    There are a few variations on the red, from a browny Burgundy to a wine (Claret) colour. We tend to use the Claretmore than the Burgundy.

    I can send you a few to see what the colour is like.

    You bet me to it Sherrie? I was just going to suggest contacting you cos I know you sell them. Burgundy is a nightmare shadewise, there are so many variations.

    Sherrie you are a star, are you feeling better? i was sending chair cover referrals to you but then i saw you were poorly so stopped, if youre back on track then i will carry on sending the ones that we cant do to you
    i know you send covers out nationwide, but what areas can you provide a fitting service for (cause they always ask!!)

    if you could send me some sample petals thats would be great
    thanks

    Kate there is an Aubergine colour and a few in between! If you have anything I can match it to I can look for you.


    Tracey ? yes I am much better now, apart from a friend died so I have a funeral to go to tomorrow ?even more upsetting that she was the same age as me and had lung cancer but didn't tell anyone.

    Anyway yes I do cover Nationwide but am almost fully booked in May,June,July & August I think I have about 3 dates left now!


    If you can email me we can cross reference areas which might help.

    ? Sherrie,
    Dresses are this colourhttp://www.thelondonweddingcompany.co.uk/dessy2722.htm
    Are the silk petals quite realistic looking? - I usually use fresh, but strugling to find the colour!! How soon could you get them and how much would they be?
    Thanks
    Kate

    I've had a look Kate & the Aubergine is discontinued. I'll have a look at a few other suppliers.
