Emma and Tom's wedding at Cooling Castle Barn

Another lovely spring day dawned for Emma and Tom's wedding and we were lucky enough to be working with gorgeous seasonal tulips and willow.  They wanted a simple, unfussy and natural look for their wedding using seasonal flowers and had fallen in love with a frilly edged tulip that we had on display at a wedding fair.  Combined with the blue of the eryngium, it was a lovely mix of flowers to be working with.

For Emma's bouquet, we provided a hand-tied bouquet of appropriately named Honeymoon frilly edged tulips along with eryngium orion, spriggy pearls and loops of bear grass.  It will have looked lovely against the gorgeous dress Emma had chosen, with delicate, almost vintagey seed pearls, crsytals and embellishments that continued right down the back of the dress....gorgeous.  The simple bouquet will have allowed the dress to show itself off to best effect.

The bridesmaids were wearing simple and elegant full length navy blue satin dresses and we provided scaled down hand-tied bouquets of tulips, eryngium and grass.  For the flower girls, we designed simple "wand style" bouquets of three tulips and eryngium thistles plus grass loops.

Tom's buttonhole was a double Honeymoon tulip with eryngium thistle and grass with the Best Man and Dad wearing a single version.  The Ushers then had simple tulips and grasses.  The Mums' all fitted in with the theme using chincherinchee and eryngium with loops of ribbon added to tone with their outfits.

At Cooling Castle Barn, we provided a natural and simple arrangement of tulips (Honeymoon and french) along with willow, eryngium, chincherinchee and light foliage for the celebrant table.

For the main barn, we provided a long and low, natural arrangement for the top table and then designed lily vase arrangements of willow, tulips, eryngium and grasses.  These were designed to be simple, natural, seasonal and tied to be given to guests after the wedding.  To give additional interest to the tablecentres, we added testtubes to the outside of each vase, each containing a tulip and eryngium head.  Whilst simple, it gave a very different look to the overall arrangements.

With such a beautiful day and such lovely outfits, we know that it will have been a wonderful day for Emma and Tom and hope that it was everything they dreamed of.
