Mayor’s Making Flowers 2014

This time last year I provided the flowers for Mayor’s Making at The Double Tree by Hilton. I dis so again this year, but more on that at a later date.

The council colours are cream and green and I am asked to stick to these colours where I can but I am given free reign on the flowers used as long as I keep to budget.

I provide 2 presentation bouquets to give to the Mayor’s and Sheriff’s ladies at the ceremony.

On this occasion I used cream proteas, astrantia and stallion chrysants along with green shamrock chrysants and peach carnations along with thalspi and asparagus fern.

The reception lunch was held at The Double Tree by Hilton on Brayford waterfront

The table centrepieces were in a green pot using the same flowers as the hand ties. Height was added with a steel grass cage.

The top table had two designs on it longer and lower but with the same flower/foliage mix.
