Sharon and Steven's wedding at Cooling Castle Barn

In a strange coincidence, another of our weddings last week also featured the stunning Picasso Calla lily and followed a similar colour scheme to Michelle and Charlie's wedding.  Sharon and Steven wanted an elegant and yet simple floral theme to match their aubergine and ivory colour scheme and we chose Picasso and Schwarzwalder Calla lilies teamed with unusual frilly edged Honeymoon tulips and oriental lilies.  Again Sharon wanted quite a contemporary feel for her flowers and wanted to combine candlelight in the form of hurricane lamps with church candles for the table flowers.

Sharon's bouquet was a hand-tied bouquet using the Picasso and Schwarwalder calla lilies, along with tulips, lily grass and salal and finished with sprigs of pearls and crystals to match her chosen jewellery.  Her bridesmaids carried hand-tied bouquets of Picasso calla lilies and tulips in a smaller version of Sharon's bouquet.  We wrapped the stems of their bouquets in offcuts of their dress fabric so that they would be a perfect match.  The flower girl carried a triple "wand" of calla lilies with feathers and crystals.

Bridal party flowers matched the remaining flowers with Steven wearing a Schwarwalder Calla lily buttonhole to match Sharon, and the remainder of the party wearing the Picasso calla lily as buttonholes to match the bridesmaids' bouquets.  Very elegant and understated indeed.

Cooling Castle reception tables were dressed with hurricane lamp arrangements with floral surrounds using all the bridal flowers along with oriental lilies in toning shades.  Two were also placed on the celebrant table to bring the floral theme into the ceremony room and ensure the flowers would be represented in photographs of Sharon and Steven signing the register. 

Finally, we dressed the cake with flowers to match the tablecentres.  Another beautiful and elegant wedding that matched the personality and style of the bridal couple and will produce stunning photographs and happy memories.
