Megan and Ben's wedding

22/6/2024

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!
