Hannah and Steve's wedding at Turkey Mill

On yet another beautiful day at Turkey Mill, we arrived bright and early to set up for Hannah and Steve's wedding.  We had a fair bit to do as we were managing all the venue decorations including chair covers, bows, table sprinkles, bridge dressing etc but it's such a lovely venue that we don't mind how long we spend there.  As we were dressing the bridge, the resident heron flew by and sat on the edge of the water fishing and a little robin also hopped by....it's such a lovely garden and really doesn't feel like you are in the middle of a major town like Maidstone.

Anyway, whilst nature watching!, we designed flowers to match Hannah and Steve's hot pink and white contemporary theme and added a few sparkles to complete the look!  For Hannah's bouquet, we provided a hand-tied, textured bouquet using agapanthus, bouvardia, Tenga Venga and Akito roses, germinis and ornithogalum arabicum, all with loops and sprigs of bear grass.  Her bridesmaids carried simple gerbera hand-tied bouquets in white to contrast against the dresses whislt her flower girls had triple hot pink germini "wands" surrounded in feathers and sparkles.

The groom's party had simple but elegant Akito rose buttonholes with loops and sprigs of grasses added, and Steve's had a few agapanthus florets added to tie in with Hannah's bouquet and to look a little different.  For the Mums and Nan, we used spray roses along with florets of agapanthus and ornithogalum arabicum plus soft foliage and loops of ribbon.

To frame Hannah's entrance across the bridge, we dressed the sides in white organza and added hot pink germinis and roses to bring in a touch of colour.

For the ceremony, two mini martini vases were placed on celebrant table in the Garden Room.

And as for the Orangery for the wedding breakfast, we thought it looked lovely dressed in hot pink and white.  We decided to alternate the chair bows by table, with one table having hot pink bows on white covers with white gerberas in the backs of the chairs, and the next table having white sparkly bows on white covers, with hot pink gerberas in the back.  For the Top Table, we did alternate chairs.   Each guest table had a large martini vase with hot pink sisal in the base and fairy lights for extra sparkle.  We provided a full top arrangement of lilies, roses, gerberas, germinis and ornithogalum arabicum in shades of hot pink and white.  Each of the tables was then sprinkled with crystals to finish.

For the top table, we kept to the martini vase theme but provided mini versions of the guest table arrangements, one to frame each side of Hannah and Steve, and one for each end.  We then sprinkled crystals in between to finish off.

Finally, the Mums and Nan were lucky enough to receive thank-you bouquets, and we provided these to match the wedding flowers.

With the dull morning clearing to a beautiful afternoon and everyone at Turkey Mill being on top form (as ever), we hope that the lovely Hannah and Steve had a great day.  They certainly had the perfect setting to set them on their way and although biased, we think it all looked gorgeous!
