On a much warmer day in the summer, we were lucky to be involved in Hannah and Chris' lovely wedding in Davington and afterwards at Shepherd Neame brewery in Faversham. Hannah had chosen navy blue dresses for her bridesmaids and hence we wanted a classically elegant look using mainly creams and greens. We added a small touch of navy as an accent and kept all the arrangements as soft as possible as Hannah really liked a much "fluffier" look.
For Hannah's bouquet we wanted a just-picked effect in a soft teardop and decided it would look far more natural if we used smaller headed flowers such as spray roses, chincherinchee, trachellium, lisianthus, freesias, bouvardia, sweet peas and veronica. We also knew Hannah liked softer edges to her bouquet, and hence included panicum fountain and asparagus fern to keep everything soft.
For her bridesmaids, we followed the just-picked more natural look and designed hand-tied bouquets of freesias, veronica, lisianthus, chincherinchee, trachellium and blue eryngium thistle.
Buttonholes and corsages were also kept soft and textured to tie in with the rest of the flowers. We also provided hand-tied bouquets as thank-you's for the Mums.
At the very pretty old church, we welcomed guests with a soft crescent shaped arrangement over the lych gate and then dressed the main aisle with double bows of navy and ivory ribbon with a small cluster of flowers through the middle. We then added two pedestal arrangements to the front of the church. We loved the church and were given such a warm welcome and even offered a cuppa...what more could we ask for. We knew from that moment what a lovely wedding it would be for all involved.
At the Shepherd Neame brewery, we decided to do a mixture of tablecentres. The room is quite a quirky shape, and with the fab light fitting (so inventive), we didn't want the tablecentres to be too uniform. Originally Hannah wanted martini vase arrangements, but given the varying ceiling height we decided to change the table centres to either clusters of glass and chrome vintage containers each with a soft tied arrangement of flowers matching all others in the wedding. For the remainder of the tables, we used low tapered glass vases on mirrors with a just-picked hand-tied bouquet.
For the top table, we decided on a long and very full arrangement matching everything else which was a real focal point at the front of the room.
We thought it was a perfect wedding for Hannah and Chris, and loved the inventive touches such as the personalised Shepherd Neame beer. The staff at the church and the venue couldn't have been nicer and more helpful and all in all it was just perfect for Hannah and Chris and their families. Fab!
