Helen and Glen's wedding in Brenchley

What an idyllic Kent wedding Helen and Glen's wedding turned out to be....the most perfect village setting for both the church and the farm reception. Helen's family have owned the farm for years and produce the most amazing apple juice on top of the wonderful fruit they produce (which tastes so much better in situ and straight from the tree). Helen's family pulled out all the stops to ensure that her and Glen's wedding day was a huge success and the marquee looked great. It was one of the most stable and flatest floors we've worked on and given that the field was grazed by cows earlier in the eyar, it was no mean feat. The garden and the house were a picture postcard and I'm sure the professional photographs will be amazing. Helen's wedding was overlooked by her horses and even their beautiful old golden retriever....how much more perfect could you want on your wedding day. There was even a bottle of the fabulous apple juice on each table, with a photo of grandad on the label...a true family affair!

For Helen's tables, we wanted to keep the colours and style quite neutral and natural, but with an edge of glamour....the martini glasses worked a treat and we used green and ivory throughout and just added burgundy rose petals for a subtle hint of colour. They really set the marquee off well and despite it being a really warm day, were still looking as fresh the following day when we collected the vases.

For the top table, Helen and Glen wanted a full centrepiece but also wanted to extend the dressing out to the ends of the table, which we achieved using different ivys and rose petals. It all worked very well together and echoed the bouquets and personal flowers we provided.

For Helen's bouquet, she chose a slimline teardrop bouquet using all ivory and green flowers as used elsewhere with some touches of pearl and crystal for additional interest. The bouquet felt natural and yet very elegant and beautiful which would match Helen's overall look (although not sure the multi-coloured hair rollers in the morning were the most glamorous start to Helen's day!) Helen was already looking beautiful and radiant when we left....and very nervous! We can't wait to see the photos and see Helen and Glen looking gorgeous together.

For the bridal party flowers, we introduced a touch of burgundy to tie in with the underlying colour theme and went for a simple, yet striking hand-tied bridesmaid bouquet and buttonholes to match for the groom's party....for Glen we provided a large scented ivory rose buttonhole so that he tied in closely with Helen's bouquet.

We thought it was a wedding and location to remember and I think will be one that is remembered by all who attended for a long time to come. It will certainly be a much visited source for apple juice for us in the future! As well as being delicious on its own, it works a treat with gin!
