Jodie and Jonathon's wedding at Chilston Park Hotel

Last week, we provided the flowers for Jodie and Jonathon's wedding at Chilston Park.  Jodie and Jonathon wanted a mainly ivory theme, with hints of pale pink and lilac and wanted a very natural and slightly vintage feel to their wedding.  We decided to focus on predominantly spring flowers and used ranunculus, parrot tulips, paperwhites, freesias, bouvardia and chincherinchee along with rosemary sprigs.

Jodie chose very natural hand-tied bouquets for herself and her bridesmaids, with hers having a touch of colour to contrast against her stunning dress, whilst her bridesmaids' bouquets were kept ivory. Jodie's bouquet was wrapped with a touch of lace to tie in with her dress whilst the remaining bouquets were wrapped simply in silver ribbon.  For her flower girl, we designed a beautiful, sweet smelling bouquet of paperwhites, which we just loved.

For the grooms' party, we used mainly chincherinchee and rosemary and added ranunculus to Jonathon's buttonhole to tie in with Jodie's bouquet.  We added a sprig of muscari to Jonathon's Dad's buttonhole as he loves bluebells!  Having helped the boys with their buttonholes, we can confirm that they all looked very handsome indeed.  We then added either freesia or paperwhite pips to the Mum's corsages along with small loops of ribbon to match their outfits.  We loved the whole collection of bridal flowers and felt that they fitted beautifully with the overall theme.

  

For the venue flowers, Jodie and Jonathon had bought a selection of different hurricane lamps for the guest tables and the ends of the top table.  The "nothing matches, yet everything goes" vintage approach worked so well in Chilston, and we kept the flowers to a minimum to show off the vases.  We used tulips and wired trails of rosemary inside the guest tables, with paperwhite pips sprinkled around the mirrors.  For the top table, we added ranunculus to the hurricane lamps and sprinkled paperwhite pips along the front of the table between the central arrangement and the hurricane lamps. 

Finally, for the most important part of the day, the ceremony, we provided a soft, natural and pretty arrangement for the celebrant's table containing the full range of  flowers used elsewhere in the wedding.  We look forward to seeing the photos from what was a very pretty wedding for a lovely couple.
