No weddings this last weekend as we had other commitments, so we thought we'd include a wedding on the blog from a little while ago. Rowena and Chris had a lovely soft lilac and ivory theme to contrast against the darker bridesmaids' dresses. We wanted to keep flowers soft and delicate so used Pacific Blue roses, Avalanche roses, freesias, lisianthus, veronica and china grass.
For Rowena, we used mainly lilac flowers to contrast against her lovely lace ivory dress. We loved the soft bolero jacket she wore as well...so delicate. We also provided some hair flowers for Rowena, which were a perfect accessory to her dress and bouquet.
For the bridesmaids, we added much more ivory into the bouquets with touches of lilac as a contrast to their dresses and as a reverse to Rowena's bouquet.
The boys wore ivory buttonholes, apart from Chris who wore a double Pacific Blue rose buttonhole with veronica to match Rowena. Mums wore ivory corsages with ribbon loops added to match their outfits.
For the tables, we used tall slim trumpet vases with a rose floating halfway. The top of the vase had a soft and slightly taller arrangement using all the ivory and lilac flowers used elsewhere along with rosemary and soft foliage. The photos show how we design table arrangements to give best visibility to all guests. When the guests entered the main barn, they had the impact of the tall arrangements, yet when seated for the wedding breakfast, they could easily talk to each other without the flowers getting in their way.
Finally we dressed the three tier seperated cake with very simple clusters of flowers and a cake topper.
Rowena and Chris are a wonderful couple and had such a lovely wedding day at Cooling Castle. The photos are courtesy of

Such a lovely wedding. I am happy for the both of them and I wish them all the lucks. Congratulations!
