Vivien and Justin's wedding - Cooling Castle Barn

Continuing on the aubergine and purple colour scheme, we provided the flowers for Vivien and Justin at Cooling Castle Barn last week.  Whilst the bridesmaids were wearing the aubergine / purple dresses, Vivien and Justin wanted to keep the flowers largely ivory and keep them simple, elegant and a little more natural for the tables. 

We used solely lilies for the wedding, ranging from large white Oriental lilies, through the striking bi-coloured Picasso calla lily, ivory Avalanche calla lilies and even the smaller Crystal Blush calla lilies for some of the bridal party flowers.   We added a touch of willow and grasses to the table centres with just a hint of sparkle provided by the crystals on the grasses, and a touch of colour in the ribbon ties. 


As Vivien and Justin had a circular top table, we provided a table centre like the remaining guest tables, but added calla lilies in to match the bridal flowers and to give an extra wow for such a special table. 

For the bridal flowers, Vivien's bouquet was a contemporary, simple yet oh so striking hand-tied bouquet of Picasso Calla Lilies with just a few sprigs of steel grass, whilst her bridesmaids carried Avalanche calla lily hand-tied bouquets, again with a few sprigs of steel grass.


The bridal party flowers echoed the flowers used elsewhere with Justin matching Vivien with a Picasso Calla Lily and the remainder of the groom's party following the bridesmaids' flowers and wearing Avalanche Calla Lily buttonholes.   The overall feel was clean-lined, elegant, contemporary and very coordinated. 


Whilst we only got to see Vivien with her stunning hairslide in place and didn't see the finished look, we had insider information from Bows 2 Belles wedding cars, who told us how beautiful she looked on the day.  We hope to see the photos at some point in the future.
