Annette and John's wedding at Tudor Park

Annette and John's recent wedding was a very soft, romantic and pretty wedding which was reflected in the choice of flowers. Annette wanted a particularly soft look to the bridal flowers and we used Sweet Avalanche, La Belle and Avalanche roses to give the main colour palette and added ranunculus and freesias along with aromatic rosemary to give a very English and slightly vintage feel to the flowers. Annette's bouquet was particularly pretty and we used the full mix of roses to give a little extra colour. A nice extra touch was the naming of the guest tables using each of the flowers used in Annette's bouquet....very pretty.

For the bridesmaids, we scaled the bouquets down according to age and seniority of the bridesmaids, although all were similar in style to Annette's bouquet. The Sweet Avalanche rose was omitted from the bridesmaids' bouquets to give a slightly paler feel and to contrast better against their dresses.



For the reception, Annette wanted very simple tablecentres and we used large fishbowls for the guest tables with gerbera heads floating on the surface of the water, and grasses simply curled around the edge. The bowls were placed on mirrors to reflect the light and finished with a light sprinkling of rose petals to bring the bouquets into the reception theme.


For the top table, we very simply scaled down the size of bowls and mirrors and placed one either side of Annette and John, and one at each end of the table. The front of the table was finished with Sweet Avalanche rose petals.
