Charlotte and Dan's wedding at Cooling Castle Barn

When we first met the lovely Charlotte, we knew her wedding flowers would be elegant and striking.  As an artist, she knew how she wanted everything to look and was very clear about her ivory floral theme with hints of fuschia pink.  We decided to keep the personal flowers to roses and "jasmine" to tie in with Charlotte's daughter Jasmine.  We then incorporated delphiniums, lilies and trachellium with eucalyptus and grasses.  Strategic "sparkle" was added where appropriate.

Charlotte's bouquet was a hand-tied bouquet of Dolce Vita roses with sprigs of crystal and sprigs of stephanotis (instead of Jasmine) added throughout.


For the bridesmaids, we provided hand-tied bouquets of large headed Maroussia roses along with stephanotis.  We added the tough of pink via a small bow at the top of the stems.  All the girls had stephanotis wired for their hair as well, and Charlotte had a couple of roses wired for her hair. 


Dan's buttonhole was a Dolce Vita rose to match Charlotte's whilst the remainder of the party wore ivory roses to match the bridesmaids. 


For the top table, we decided to use the bouquets from the bridal party in low vases (they needed to be kept in water for freshness in any event and of course matched the overall theme, therefore were perfect).  We also added a couple of extra vases for the centre of the table with hand-tied bouquets of roses and foliage to match the remainder of the flowers.



For the tablecentres, we used large martini vases and kept the arrangements largely ivory with just a few Dolce Vita roses to add the colour. 





We then dressed the wedding cake (made beautifully by Charlotte's friend) with clusters of roses and sparkles.




All in all a lovely, elegant and simple floral theme.
