I was so in love with Helen's bouquet, love was definitely here! This backdrop is a bench at Gaynes Park, it's perfectly suited for a bouquet shot! I've also made a new backdrop for shooting designs outside my workshop - it's essentially a storage bench but I've painted it a beautiful light grey colour using chalky finish furniture paint and it really compliments the flowers so much more than the blue chair I used previously did!

 Cheeky selfie at the venue before delivering the bride her bouquet!

The bridesmaids carried smaller versions of the bridal bouquet, however we left out the eryngium as per the bride's request. The bouquets were finished with stunning trailing silk ribbon which finished them off perfectly. ​

All six bridesmaid bouquets boxed up ready for delivery!

The men's buttonholes were all the same - a ranunculus with a eryngium thistle and a little bit of olive foliage. I finished them with soft grey ribbon which matched the rest of the wedding perfectly. 

All individually named at the venue ready for pinning!

There were also a couple of wrist corsages for the mums - ranunculus, spray rose, eryngium and olive, on a length of soft grey ribbon. So classy!

The set up for the ceremony in the orangery at Gaynes Park was so elegant, as much as I like a bit of colour there's just something so stunning about an all white wedding. I used some of the items from the table centrepieces along the front of the ceremony table - two lanterns and a series of bud vases. I also lined either side of the aisle with fresh white rose petals. There was a trio of large boards on easels - a welcome sign, seating plan and order of events - and I decorated each of these with a loose eucalyptus garland.

The set up in the reception area was equally as stunning - elegant grey table linens, white drapes and lights strung across the ceiling. Helen and Joe went for two different designs for their centrepieces - each design had a silver lantern at it's centre, surrounded by either a ring of flowers or a series of bud vases. By having the lantern as a common factor in each design it's a great way to bring two different ideas together if you can't decide what you like best!

The bridesmaids carried smaller versions of the bride's bouquet, the stems finished with rose gold satin ribbon.

For the little flower girl I made a gypsophila wand designed into the shape of a heart, finished with trailing rose gold ribbon to match the bouquets. This design for a wand is so sweet!

The buttonholes were just as pretty - a pink spray rose, astilbe and a little sprig of gyp. There were even two mini ones for the page boys - so cute!

Foe the venue I designed a long and low arrangement which was placed on the fireplace behind the registrars table for the ceremony and later moved to the top table for the reception.

A lovely full flower list!

The four bridesmaids carried smaller versions of Stephanie's bouquet, and the two flower girls then carried smaller versions still. The bouquets were all finished with simple ivory satin ribbon.

Logan dog being particularly helpful while I was trying to take photos!

The bride and her bridesmaids all wore flowers in their hair - hair combs for the adults and flower crowns for the younger girls.

The buttonholes featured lilac lisianthus as the focal flower with waxflower, muscari and foliage.

I also made a larger floral crown/collar for the bride's dog Mellow. As much as my dog Logan wanted to be around while I was photographing the bouquets he was not keen to be my model for the floral collar and to check the size - he made a quick exit at this point!! I finished the ends with ribbon, like I do for a flower crown, so the length can be adjusted as required. 

The van all loaded up and ready to go.

At the adorable little church I delivered the long and low which was placed on the altar. This would later be moved over to the top table at the venue.

Here's a lovely shot of the bride with her parents and her bridesmaids - and just look at Mellow the dog!! 

Hannah's bouquet was oh so pretty - the perfect blush and ivory mix, finished off with trailing satin ribbons in shades of blush, ivory and mink. 

Hannah's two bridesmaids carried smaller versions of her bouquet, with the addition of some lace in the ribbon trails.

I also created a hair piece for the bride's hair - this was to be slightly longer and curved so as to go around the back of Hannah's head. I created it on a comb so it could be easily attached, with the foliage ends on wire so they could be easily adjusted. I also provided some loose sprigs of foliage and waxflower to lengthen the design as required. The two photos below are from the hair stylist, Bumblebee Bridal, who I think did a stunning job!

All boxed up and ready for delivery!

The buttonholes featured a white spray rose with gypsophila and some eucalyptus, with a double buttonhole for the groom. In contrast to the bouquets the buttonholes were finished with twine, to beef them up a bit!

At the venue the couple went for a foliage, gyp and waxflower long and low for their ceremony table, which was later moved over to the top table.

Here's a little peak at the beautiful professional photos courtesy of Aaron Crowe Photography.

Kerrie' bouquet was full of pastel prettiness, with lots of lovely eucalyptus framing the flowers. The stems were finished with natural jute ribbon to compliment the rest of the rustic theme.

The two bridesmaid bouquets were smaller versions of the bridal bouquet, also finished with jute ribbon.

There were two flower girls who each wore flower crowns, which had a eucalyptus base with waxflower and gypsophila. They were finished with twine so they could be easily adjusted (it's so hard to get a complete circlet to the right size without the wearer there so you can design exactly to the size of their head!)

The men's buttonholes and ladies' corsages featured a peach tulip with some foliage, with waxflower for the men and gypsophila for the women.

I delivered loose stems to the village hall the day before the wedding so that the bridal party could fill jam jars for the tables - they had 120 of them so leaving them until the morning of the wedding would've been a bit of a rush! I found a few photos on social media of the tables set up and I have to say that they did a great job!
