Jade and Callum's wedding at Archbishops Palace and Poult Wood Golf Club



Working with couples like Jade and Callum is what makes our job worthwhile.  They are such a lovely couple so completely in love and focused on just getting married.  Callum said he didn't mind what the weather was like or what his gorgeous bride was wearing as long as she was there on the day.  They really are a perfect couple and we were so pleased they chose us to be part of their day.


Jade had chosen coral as her accent colour for the day but wanted to mix it with blush pink, ivory and green in a soft textured look for their day.  Being petite, we couldn't afford to make Jade's bouquet too big as we wanted her to be able to show off her stunning gown.  We loved the lace overlay which created a stunning neckline and sleeves.  It looked so perfect on Jade.  We therefore chose a hand-tied and quite textured bouquet for her using roses, trachellium, bouvardia, astrantia, chincherinchee and freesias along with rosemary and eucalyptus.  It just looked lovely against her dress, which we got to see thanks to the lovely photos from Samantha Jones Photography.  She was way ahead of us in terms of blogs and has already blogged Jade and Callum's wedding twice, with lots more lovely photos....deffo worth a look.


Having said all these lovely things about Jade, Callum looked extremely handsome and dapper as we knew he would.  What great suits and what a handsome couple. For Callum's buttonhole we use pinky coral spray roses, chincherinchee, trachellium and freesias along with foliage to tie in with Jade's bouquet.  We then used ivory spray roses in the rest of the groom's party to differentiate from Callum.  We then provided pretty corsages for the Mums and key female members of the bridal party.  We also left thank-you bouquets at Poult Wood.







For the bridesmaids, we had a last minute decision as to the number of bouquets required as Jade's sister Amanda was due to have her baby in the week before the wedding.  She really wanted to be a bridesmaid, so we designed a bouquet for her along with the other bridesmaids.  When we delivered the bouquets on the morning of the wedding, we found out that Amanda had gone into early labour that morning...eek!  But bless her, she lasted throughout the day and through the speeches, giving birth to Jade and Callum's nephew the following morning.  What a trooper!  The bouquets were textured hand-tied bouquets in green and ivory as a contrast to the dresses with a smaller posy for the Flower Girl.






At Poult Wood, Jade and Callum wanted a vintage tea party feel at Poult Wood Golf Club.  We therefore provided a selection of vases, teapots, cups and other receptacles.  We also helped by adding the bunting and hearts wherever we thought appropriate.  We even pitched in and helped lay the tables....who said we aren't adaptable!  We also provided empty cut glass vases at the venue so that all the bouquets could be kept fresh as long as possible.  We also provided extra roses and flowers to be added to the cup cake tower when it arrived.



















I know that Jade and Callum had a lovely day and they truly deserve it.  It was really lovely being involved in their day, and I'm pleased they loved their flowers.  We wish them the very happiest future together.  And once again we thank Samantha Jones photography for providing some of the photos.

  1. A lovely and very informative blog post and I am so pleased that you have been able to incorporate some of the photographs that I took at Jade and Callum's wedding. I completely agree - they are an adorable couple and I enjoyed spending the day with them and their friends and family. Your floral displays made the venue at Poult Wood really sparkle and certainly were a talking point! Hoping to work with you again very soon!
