Jena and Mark's wedding at St.Francis Church followed by Oakwood House, Maidstone

 

 

Jena and Mark came to us having seen our flowers both on the website and at a family wedding.  They are such a laid-back lovely couple and were planning a fresh, pretty and contemporary wedding.  Jena's Mum has just got involved in helping with the flowers at their church, and was therefore going to dress the church on the day, which we know she will have done brilliantly. 

Jena had chosen pale yellow / lemon dresses for her bridesmaids and hence wanted to use lemon and ivory as her very fresh and up to date colour scheme.

For Jena's bouquet we used the lovely Vanilla Sky rose along with Maroussia with simple yet effective loops of bear grass and additional sparkles. 

For the adult bridesmaids, we decided to use the Maroussia roses on their own as a contrast against the dresses, and we finished the stems with a small bow in the colour of their dresses.  For the Flower Girl, a little Vanilla Sky "wand" was provided surrounded in sparkles and bear grass.

For Mark, we wanted to match Jena's bouquet and hence provided a double buttonhole using both the Vanilla Sky and Maroussia roses with bear grass.  For the rest of the boys, an ivory rose buttonholes was used, and then corsages for Mums and Nan were provided.  Additionally two thank-you bouquets were provided for the Mums.

At Oakwood House, Jena and Mark wanted to keep the look and feel very fresh and contemporary so we decided upon mirrored cubes for each of the tables with a mix of lemon and ivory flowers including roses, gerberas, celosia, freesias and bridal gladioli.  To make sure that they were easy to give away as gifts, each arrangement was actually a hand-tied bouquet in it's own hidden aqua pack...this allows us to hire out the vases and yet still have something substantial to give away after the big day.

For the top table, we decided to provide smaller mirrored cubes with slightly more lemon colouring on the top table.  We then provided empty vases at either end so that the bridesmaids had somewhere to put their bouquets and keep them fresh.  We also added roses to Jena and Mark's place settings.

Finally, we dressed the three tier cake for Jena and Mark with alternating roses between each tier.

We loved the chair bows at Oakwood House, and the side tie used on the top table.  They were provided by the lovely Leanne and her team from Pretty Bows and we think they were a perfect match. 

We know that Jena and Mark had a wonderful wedding day and that it was just the first in a few consecutive days of celebrations.  We loved working with them and meeting some of the wonderful family.  We wish them all the very very best in their married life together.
