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.
