Just went and found the issue of the Lace magazine (#37 Spring 1985) and found a picture of the John Bull Trophy Award (1984) at the English Lace School. There was also a write up about the Itchen Valley Lacemakers group. The wedding bouquet bouquet was worked in cream and apricot: 3 roses with leaves; 17 stephanotis, 14 hyacinth pips, and 5 lily of the valley. 40 members took part and it took them 400 hours. It was made in 50 Sylko thread because there was a wide enough colour range to get a close blending of the colours. There was also an open strip of lace threaded with the ribbon. It says that they were planning to make up a booklet with full instructions - don't know how to find out if that was ever done.
