Kelley and Matt's wedding at Hempstead House Hotel

When we first met Kelley, she was very clear that she wanted a single colour for her wedding (pink) and a single choice of flower.  As time moved on we slightly changed the single flower theme to incorporate lilies as well as the chosen roses, but stuck with the pink theme.  Matt wasn't so keen on just pink roses, so we provided ivory roses for his buttonhole and added a few to the tablecentres as well....thus incorporating both Kelley and Matt's choices.

Kelley chose a simple, contemporary hand-tied Aqua rose bouquet for herself, edged with a collar of interlocking silver bear grass loops and with a few crystals interspersed and added down the stems of the roses.

We followed the same theme of all Aqua roses for her bridesmaids as this colour would look great against their silver dresses.  We scaled the bouquets down from her main bridesmaids, to her junior bridesmaids, down to a single rose for her Flower Girl.

The boys buttonholes were all Aqua roses (apart from Matt's!) and we provided corsages or wrist corsages for significant family members.

Tablecentres were large martini vases on central mirrors, with silver sisal in the base of the vases to tie in with the colour of the bridesmaids' dresses and arrangements contained Merostar lilies along with Aqua and Gletsjer roses and sprigs of silver bear grass.  For the top table, mini versions of the martini vases were provided, one for each end of the top table and one for the middle.  These can't be shown in place as the room wasn't going to be set for the wedding breakfast until later in the day, although two of the mini martini vases were also provided for the celebrant table for the signing of the register. 

Also provided were thank you bouquets for Matt's Mum and a birthday bouquet for Kelley's sister. 

Matt and Kelley make a great couple and having had a sneak preview of the dresses and the hairstyles on the wedding morning, we know the photos will be gorgeous!  We hope they had a great day and it was everything they wanted. 

Clare and Dan's wedding at The Knowle Country House Hotel, Higham

Clare loves shoes and handbags and sparkle....just like most girlie girls!  We therefore first talked to Clare when she spotted one of our display floral handbags.  It was a natural choice for her wedding flowers and we matched the handbag into the navy and ivory colour scheme of the wedding using ivory spray roses and tiny eryngium paradise jackpot heads and finished it using navy beads and the appropriate sparkles. 

We provided wrist corsages for Clare's attendants, using ribbon matching their outfits, and then also provided a wand for her Flower Girl.

For the boys, we used a rose and eryngium thistle for Dan's buttonhole, roses for the main groomsmen and then carnations for the congregation (changing the foliage slightly to distinguish between ladies and gentlemen).

Thank-you bouquets were also provided which we matched into the colour scheme of the wedding.

Clare looked so lovely on the morning of her wedding....a real definition of a radiant bride with stunning hair and make-up...and she was still in her dressing gown when we saw her, so we're sure that she will look amazing in her photographs.  We know that she and Dan had a lovely day and we were really pleased to be a part of it.

Anne-Marie and Gavin's wedding with reception at The Russell Hotel

Anne-Marie and Gavin wanted a very pretty, soft floral theme for their wedding, for which the colour scheme was fuschia pink along with paler pink.  We decided to use a number of different roses (Tenga Venga, Sweet Avalanche and the bi-coloured Dolce Vita) as this was Anne-Marie's favourite look and she had already chosen a hand-tied bouquet to complement and not hide her lovely Maggie Sotero dress. 

For Anne-Marie's bouquet, we chose a simple but effective mix of Tenga Venga and Sweet Avalanche roses, some with additional sparkles in the centre of the roses, and wrapped the stems in diamond white ribbon to match the dress, again with additional sparkles used to finish the stems.

For the bridesmaids, we used the Sweet Avalanche paler rose used in Anne-Marie's bouquets and teamed them with Dolce Vita.  We also added some pink bouvardia to tie in with the detailing used on the invitations and place settings.  For the gorgeous Grace, Gavin decided she had to have a Dolce Vita "wand" which despite her young age she evidently carried beautifully, almose stealing the show!

We decided to use the rose from Anne-Marie's bouquets that the others hadn't used (Tenga Venga) for Gavin and as it is a slightly smaller headed rose, we went for a double buttonhole.  For the remaining groomsmen, we went for the Dolce Vita roses used in the bridesmaids' bouquets.  Mums had small and delicate corsages with loops of ribbon used to tone them to their outfits.

For the tables, we used a half-mirrored vase as a centrepiece, with a hand-tied bouquet of roses, bouvardia and carnations along with soft foliage.  These were tied with fuschia ribbon and each was labelled with the name of the lucky person who could take them home at the end of the day.  Empty vases were added to the top table to take the bridal bouquets when the wedding party arrived....they're better kept in water anyway, so why not show them off. 

Whilst we didn't get a chance to photograph the cake complete, we provided a small cake topper to sit on the square three tiered cake, matching all the wedding flowers.  The photo doesn't look great, but you can see what we decided to do.

Maggie and Andrew's wedding at Chilham Church and Eastwell Manor

Walking through the doors at Eastwell Manor always makes me feel calm, and it's always nice to see the tables ready and waiting for our flowers whenever we arrive.  Saturday was no exception and we were able to dress Maggie and Andrew's tables straight away.  A very serene and elegant wedding theme was chosen by Maggie, whose main colours were gold and ivory.  We decided to keep flowers ivory and green, with a hint of gold and it all looked lovely.

Maggie's bouquet was Gletsjer roses, Avalanche Calla lilies, eucalyptus, china grass and sparkles.  As it was to fly to Scotland after the wedding, it couldn't be too large, and having the calla lilies in, instead of all roses meant it wasn't too heavy to carry either.  Maggie's chief bridesmaid carried a bouquet of Gletsjer roses along with eucalyptus, china grass and sparkles, and the other bridesmaids carried slightly smaller bouquets without the sparkles.  The flower girl had a very sweet Gletsjer "wand" surrounded in champagne feathers and sparkles.

For the boys, we decided upon the calla lily for Andrew and roses for the rest of the groom's party, all of which had gold bullion wire twisted around the stem to bring in the colour.  The Mum's corsages were designed to tie in with their chosen outfits. 

For the tables, we nestled church candles into gold gravel in hurricane lamps and stood each on a floral surround of roses, scabious, chincherinchee, freesias, veronica, spray roses and astrantia along with eucalyptus, china grass and a few sprigs and loops of gold bear grass. 

The top table was a full, long and lovely mix of all the flowers used in the tablecentres along with calla lilies.  The mantelpiece was finished with clusters of church candles and rose petals.  Each of the tables was finished with a few bronze and clear crystals to catch the light.

Maggie had the most elaborate and lovely hairstyle done and was already wearing the veil when we delivered her flowers.  Her photos were being taken by http://www.davidburkephotography.co.uk/ and he's promised I can include some photos when they're ready, so watch this blog for additional photos of Maggie and Andrew in due course.  Can't wait to see them.
