Kirsty and Luke were married last summer in South Africa, and held their UK celebration at Channels on 6 April 2023. They chose to put their budget towards a statement arch to use as a photo backdrop, which I built around my metal arch frame. We decided to do four groupings to give a loose, unstructured, asymmetric design. For the flowers I mainly used roses, with some spray roses, snapdragons and gypsophila. I also provided some fresh flowers for the cake and cupcake stand, which were added by the baker Caked in Love. The couple also hired some of my cylindrical candle trios to place on their tables - they didn't have a formal sit down dinner so these worked perfectly as centrepieces. Congratulations to the happy couple!

Philippa and Thomas were married on 25 March 2023 at Houchins. They went for a bright, colourful, festival vibe for their big day, so I used flowers in shades of cerise, coral, yellow and purple. The blooms included roses, sunflowers, stocks, narcissus, ranunculus, anemones and tanacetum. Pippa's bouquet was a riot of colour, with trailing ribbons in bright pastel shades to finish off the stems beautifully. Pippa also wore a flower crown with small, dainty blooms and finished at the back with thin ribbons to match the bouquet. Pippa and Tom's two daughters were their flower girls, with the older one carrying a wand and wearing a flower crown, with the younger one wearing a smaller crown - check out how adorable they looked further down this post! Delivered to the venue. Thomas' buttonhole was a mini bouquet with flowers to match the bridal bouquet and finished with twine. The other men wore very similar buttonholes, with just a couple less blooms. The ceremony looked stunning all set up, with a freestanding arch to frame the couple as they said their "I dos", flowers on the chairs and colourful ribbons that the bride added. The original plan was to decorate the wooden beams however the weather was so hit and miss right up until the ceremony took place that we decided that my freestanding arch would be more suitable as it could be moved. Thankfully the weather held out in the end and they got their outdoor ceremony! The venue also looked beautiful, Pippa had paid so much attention to all the little details and it all came together wonderfully. The top table was to have the long and low moved over from the ceremony, and the guest tables each had a series of bud vases dotted down the centre, with a space in the middle for the chair ends to be moved into. A family member made the rainbow sprinkle cake, which looked amazing, and I decorated it with fresh flowers. A couple of thank you bouquets for the mums. The stunning pro photos come from Farlie Photography, I love that Charlie sends you the whole album but that does make it difficult to pick just a few favourites! I hope Philippa and Thomas had a wonderful day!
