Both Claire and Lu had chosen gorgeous ivory dresses but wanted their flowers to be different yet complement each other. So for Claire we provided a hand-tied bouquet of deep red Black Baccara roses along with ivory roses, finished with a simple looped grass edge and with crystal pins added. For Lu, we decided on ivory calla lilies in an overarm style, finished with a burgundy feather.
Both Claire and Lu had bridesmaids, so we decided to use a single calla lily with feather for Claire's bridesmaids so that they tied in with Lu's bouquet and contrasted Claire's roses. For Lu's bridesmaids we reversed the flowers and used a single rose to tie in with Claire's bouquet.
Buttonholes were simple calla lilies with loops of grass and aspidistra leaf.
For the tables, Claire and Lu had already seen one of our exotic martini vase arrangements and were completely "sold" on them straight away. We therefore provided large martini vases filled with ivory sisal and fairy lights. We then added an exotic arrangement of monstera leaves, palms, aspidistras along with red and ivory oriental lilies, Black Baccara and ivory roses, anthuriums and grasses. Each had dramatic ostrich feathers added and the mask table name provided by Claire and Lu. We finished the tables with a mirror and rose petals for the final touch of drama.
We then dressed the gazebo in the herb garden with a loose foliage garland with wired roses, anthuriums and lilies to reflec the flowers used inside.
Despite being extremely nervous, Claire and Lu both had a wonderful day with friends and family and all their hard work, planning and surprises paid off. They are a fantastic couple who look after each other wonderfully and we hope their gorgeous wedding day is the start of a long and fabulous life together.
