Kyna and Andrew were married on 3 August 2024 at Smeetham Hall Barn. They chose classic whites and greens for their flowers, which included some beautiful roses, dahlias, stocks and freesias.  Kyna's bouquet was so pretty, with soft foliages and a lovely mix of flowers, and finished with white satin ribbon.   The four bridesmaids carried smaller versions of Kyna's bouquet.  Delivered to the Airbnb where they were getting ready.  Andrew's buttonhole featured a white rose with gyp and eucalyptus.  The other men wore smaller versions with a spray rose as the focal flower.  Delivered to the venue.  The ceremony out on the lawn looked lovely with an arch backdrop framing the lake and a statement long and low arrangement on the table. My sister helped me with this set up (scroll down for a shot the wedding coordinator took for us!) and we started the set up in raincoats and finished in t-shirts and sunglasses! The weather was very mixed but the bride had her heart set on an outdoor ceremony so we took the chance and thankfully it paid off!    The centrepieces were simple but effective, with candles to add height and some greenery and gypsophila to adorn the table. I loved the black accents running throughout the tables.  There was one less guest table in the end than I'd quoted for so I used the spare foliage and gyp to add a couple of placements on the top table on either side of where the long and low would be.  I've only seen one photo of the happy couple but it's a stunning one! Photographer unknown.  I hope Kyna and Andrew had an amazing day!

Jess and Adam were married on 3 August 2024 at Houchins. I loved working with their chosen colour palette of bright and light pinks, burnt orange and white - I used dahlias, roses, spray roses and stocks amongst other flowers.  I just loved Jess' bouquet - you'll see I do a lot of classic white and green weddings (which I also love don't get me wrong!) but as a creative it's so fun when you get to work with some colour! The 'cafe au lait' and 'wizard of oz' dahlias, as well as the cosmos, were all homegrown in my cutting garden and the trailing coppery coloured ribbon just finished it off perfectly.   There were two bridesmaids and they each carried a smaller version of Jess' bouquet.  For the flower girl we made a wand with small and dainty flowers in white and pink. All packaged up and delivered to the venue!  Adam's buttonhole featured spray roses, gypsophila and eucalyptus, with ribbon to match the bouquets.  The other men had the same for their buttonholes, with a smaller version for the page boy.  We also made a ladies wrist corsage to match the buttonholes.  I had so much fun decorating the ceremony area. I do this foliage curtain set up at Houchins all the time but the addition of hanging flowers looked so lovely. We also tied flowers to the end of the chairs lining the aisle.   The groom Adam had some amazing carpentry skills as he made all the signage for the wedding himself! Including the welcome sign and the table plan, with individual shots for each guest. I created two floor standing meadow style arrangements to accompany the signage.  Houchins is such a wonderful venue to decorate, it's beautiful all by itself but the little bud vases we placed on the tables added a lovely pop of colour.  The top table had a larger version with a mason jar in the centre and five surrounding bud vases, with colourful taper candles added by the bride and groom.  The other table then had a trio of bud vases with the same candles that tied in perfectly.    We also provided some loose stems that the bride's uncle was going to use to decorate the cake with.

They went for pretty pinks and whites for their flowers, which included roses, dahlias, astilbe and germinis.  Katy's bouquet was soft and pretty, fairly flower heavy with just a little foliage to frame the bouquet.    The five bridesmaids carried smaller versions of Katy's bouquet, all finished with ivory satin ribbon.  Delivered to the venue!  James' buttonhole featured white and pink spray roses, gypsophila and eucalyptus.  The other men wore smaller versions with a single buttonhole. I actually lined all the buttonholes up, took a video of them to make a reel and then completely forgot to photograph them! Oops! So this is a screenshot of the video, hence the terrible quality!  They did look pretty all lined up at the venue, in their little water vases and with their handwritten name tags.  We dressed the ceremony area with a long and low arrangement and flowers down the aisle, which were later placed in small vases as the centrepieces.   The cake was made by Baked by Els and we provided fresh flowers for decorating. The beautiful pro photos are courtesy of RM Creative.   I hope Katy and James had a lovely day! Dawn and Craig were married on 6 July 2024 at Hever Castle. Their colour palette was white and green and they wanted to keep the flowers simple and 'unfussy', so we worked with a reduced range of individual blooms that included roses, carnations, lisianthus and gypsophila.  Dawn's bouquet was a beautiful mix of the flowers used, kept fairly neat and uniform with white chiffon ribbon to finish.   The five bridesmaids carried smaller bouquets of all gypsophila with some eucalyptus.  Delivered to the venue!  For Craig's buttonhole I paired a couple of lisianthus blooms with gypsophila and eucalyptus.  The other men wore buttonholes of all gypsophila and eucalyptus to match the bridesmaids.  Delivered in their little vases to the venue.  The ceremony space at Hever Castle is just stunning, with the most spectacular views of the lake to the front and the gardens behind. The weather on the day was very hit and miss with quite a lot of rain but you'd never tell from these photos with blue sky! Dawn and Craig chose to keep the decor very simple so as not to take away from the beauty of the space, so we just tied some flowers to the ends of the chairs lining the aisle.  The venue for the wedding breakfast is also a beautiful space, so again the decor was kept very simple and unfussy. On the 13 tables we placed two bud vases which the couple provided, with a few stems in each, a spray of eucalyptus at the base and some tealights to finish. The top table had some extra vases for the bouquets and there were a couple less tables than originally ordered so we dotted the surplus bud vases around the venue.  I look forward to seeing some photos at this stunning venue and I hope the couple had a magical day! Megan and Nick were married on 13 June 2024 at Baddow Park House. They chose classic whites and greens for their flowers which included roses, campanula, astilbe and eucalptus.  I loved making Megan's bouquet, with trailing foliages and white satin ribbon to finish.   The seven bridesmaids carried smaller versions of the bridal bouquet, they looked amazing all together!  All boxed up and delivered to the venue.  Ben's buttonhole featured a white rose with mixed foliages.  The other men wore a smaller version with a spray rose as the focal flower. All labelled and delivered to the venue.  I had my freelancer Amy helping me with the set up and we had a fair amount to do but it was all so fun to create! We firstly dressed this welcome sign with a garland of flowers and foliage, I love how it was so personal to the couple. Megan wanted a statement arrangement on the staircase as you enter the venue so we went for this candle and foliage design, with LED candles to keep them safe on ground level. We had also kept the foliage a bit longer originally but the wedding coordinator said the bride's dress would sweep it all away so we tucked it in a bit more!  The ceremony was held outside in the beautiful grounds, so we kept the decor simple with some chair ends and a long and low arrangement on the table, which would later be used on the top table.   Behind the top table we placed my rectangular metal arch, which I had sprayed black especially for this couple to match their theme, and we decorated this with two large groupings of flowers and trailing foliages. This fit perfectly with the doorframe and it felt like we had brought some of the outside in.  We then decorated the table plan with a garland of foliages and flowers along the base. The wedding breakfast room at Baddow Park is simply stunning, fairly neutral so you can incorporate any colour you might like but still ornate enough that you don't need to go over the top with the decor if you don't want to. The top table had a space for the long and low and then vases laid out for some of the bouquets and the chair ends. The other tables had a mix of tall and low arrangements. The tall arrangements were on my hexagonal metal stands, which again I sprayed black to match the theme. The low arrangements featured a trio of cylindrical vases with floating candles with a ring of flowers around the base. All of these arrangements could be taken home by guests following the venue and I just collected my hire items.    I'm unsure who made the cake, I provided some fresh flowers and sprigs of foliages to decorate it with and it looked stunning against this mirrored backdrop. I also placed some additional vases for the bouquets, and some smaller jam jars for the chair ends - if you zoom in you'll see that these are personalised Wilkin Tiptree jam jars as the bride works for the company!  The absolutely gorgeous pro photos are courtesy of Rebecca Louise Photography, I can't wait to see more!   I hope Megan and Ben had the best day! |
