When we first met Jenny at a wedding fair, she was attracted by a bridesmaid's posy we had on display as she wanted a small and natural looking bouquet for herself. Jenny had a clear vision for her wedding to Alex and wanted to reflect the truly beautiful and natural surroundings in which they would take their vows. Jenny and Alex chose natural, small headed flowers for their wedding including lily of the valley, spray roses, bouvardia, astrantia, cornflowers and rosemary.
Jenny and Alex decided upon the personal flowers (bouquet, buttonholes and corsages), plus flowers for the celebrant table and the top table. Jenny and her Mum decided to keep the guest tables very simple and just add pots of herbs as tablecentres. However, unbeknownst to Jenny, we also met with Alex's Mum to plan flowers for the grounds as a surprise (we really hope that the Jenny loved our decisions!)
For Jenny's bouquet, we provided a small and natural looking hand-tied posy. Being a petite bride with an exquisite gown, the flowers needed to work alongside it and not overwhelm Jenny. The addition of Lily of the Valley also helped make it smell delicious!
For Alex and his Groom's party, we decided that we would stick to the smaller headed and natural flowers and hence provided very textured buttonholes. We designed slightly different buttonholes for the Groom, Best Man, Ushers, Pageboy, Dads, Grandads and Great Grandads and also provided corsages for the Mums, Grandmas and Great Grandmas. It's always lovely to be able to honour grandparents and include them in the core bridal party.
For the celebrant table, we provided a range of jugs filled with hand-tied arrangements of flowers. These would then be moved into the marquee later in the day.
For the terrace, we hung natural hearts dressed with flowers from the light fittings along with larger hanging arrangements for the two end lights. We then added zinc buckets filled with flowers for the tables on the terrace.
For the decking area, we added hanging arrangements to the balustrades to frame Jenny as she made her entrance.
Finally, we couldn't complete the blog without including the fabulous cake provided by our friends at Creative Cakes (www.creativecakesbymaria.co.uk). The skiers themselves are amazing, but the snowflakes, snowballs and even icicles are absolutely amazing! Another fab cake to provide the finishing touch for a fabulous wedding.
Despite the less than perfect weather (although it could have been much worse!), we hope Jenny and Alex had a wonderful day. We loved meeting them and their family and being entrusted to help with their very special and personal day. Everything looked wonderful and everyone was very relaxed and happy in the run up to the wedding...we hope they have a fabulous day and a fantastic life together.
