We always knew that Danielle and Ryan's wedding would be stylish, classy and with every detail perfect and I'm so pleased to say that this was the case on the day. As you can see from the photo above, Danielle and Ryan are a very handsome couple and they were both extremely involved in all the decisions made for their special day, which made sure that it was exactly as they both wanted. They really are a lovely couple as well as looking great, and hence we wanted to bring their ideas to life in terms of the flowers.
Danielle and Ryan had chosen teal bridesmaids dresses, each with a very slightly different design around the neckline, which I thought was lovely. They all included sparkle as did Danielle's gorgeous dress, and hence we didn't need to add much extra to the flowers. Both Danielle and Ryan knew a fair bit about flowers and wanted that soft English feel that works so well at Chilston. They love hydrangeas and roses and wanted to make sure that scent was added which we did in the form of rosemary, eucalyptus, sweet peas and some scented roses.
As you can see from the photos kindly provided, Danielle's dress was gorgeous. It fit her like a glove and was beautifully complemented by the length of the veil and her jewellery. We therefore wanted her bouquet to be full and lush, but not too over the top. We kept her bouquet all ivory and used hydrangeas, roses and lisianthus with light asparagus fern at the edges with hydrangea leaves. We added spriggy crystals throughout to catch the light but not compete with the dress, and finished the stems with a gorgeous brooch.
For the striking bridesmaids, we used a colour palette from pale lilac to stronger purple which looked fabulous against their teal dresses. We used the same sort of flowers as in Danielle's bouquet (hydrangea, lisianthus, roses, sweet peas, asparagus fern) and made the bouquets smaller in size. We wrapped the stems in the teal dress fabric and finished them with a sparkly brooch.
The boys had rose buttonholes, backed with asparagus fern and hydrangea leaves, with Ryan wearing an ivory rose to complement Danielle's bouquet and the remainder of the grooms' party wearing Pacific Blue to match the bridesmaids. Mums wore wrist corsages with ribbons used to tone with their outfits (lilac and teal).
Within the orangery for the ceremony, we provided a long and low, soft and natural looking arrangement for the celebrant table using roses, hydrangeas, lisianthus, freesias, spray roses, eucalyptus, rosemary and soft asparagus fern. Ryan's Mum then made lovely little pew ends to go through the chair bows using all the same flowers.
For the Hussey Hall reception, we provided tall trumpet vases with a diamante garland twisted around the outside to reflect the light and add a touch of sparkle, and then added arrangements on top in the lovely lilac to purple colour palette using all the flowers and foliage used in the top table. They were placed on Danielle and Ryan's square mirrors.
For the top table, we added a long and low arrangement in front of Danielle and Ryan, and added a single Pacific Blue rose through each of the beautifully tied napkins and placed the pretty favour boxes on top. Ryan's Mum also dressed the cake and made some candle rings for the stables for the evening....very brave of her to take it all on on such an important day, but a great job done...a future florist in the making maybe?!
I think you'll agree that the wedding was so elegant and pretty and the colours worked beautifully together. The sun shone, everyone looked amazing and the stage was set for a perfect day. It's a perfect case of "I do love it when a plan comes together"! Hope you enjoy!
