Another lovely recent wedding we contributed to was the very elegant, fresh and pretty lilac and ivory wedding of Donna and Peter. Again the weather was stunning and the room was shaping up really nicely when we arrived. Donna and Peter wanted a relatively simple floral theme in lilac and ivory and we decided upon Pacific Blue and Maroussia roses along with Milka Lisianthus and Helvetia Oriental Lilies. Donna wanted a more contemporary feel to the flowers, and hence foliage consisted of palms, aspidistra leaves and grasses. A touch of sparkle completed the look.
As you can see from the photos Donna has kindly sent over and agreed we can use, she and Peter look fantastic and so very happy. Donna's dress suits her so perfectly and with her elaborate and beautiful hairstyle, she justifiably stole the show. Her bouquet was a mix of Pacific Blue and Maroussia roses with grasses and a foliage edge to ensure it contrasted perfectly with her dress. Additional sparkles were added to the centre of each rose (after the photo was taken....silly me!). Her bridesmaids carried smaller bouquets of Maroussia roses and lisianthus along with loops of grasses. Buttonholes toned with the remainder of the flowers, with Peters' being the lilac Pacific Blue and everyone else wearing ivory.
For the tables, we decided on hand-tied arrangements of lilies, lisianthus, grasses and palms in lily vases. We coloured the water a pale lilac to tie in, which looked lovely in the sunlight in the room. The top table and celebrant table were dressed with a long and low arrangement of roses, lilies, lisianthus, palms and grasses.
Finally we dressed the three tier cake with wired sections of flowers to tone with the table arrangements and bouquets.
Later that evening we spotted some gorgeous Sky Lanterns floating up from the Ramada (we were at Leeds Castle) and found out later that Peter had surprised Donna with them...how lovely was that! What a nice surprise on such a special day.
