Jo and Paul's wedding at Rowhill Grange

When I met Paul and Jo for the first time, I remember being struck by what a perfect couple they were, and remember Paul saying that the most important thing about their wedding was that he would be marrying Jo....what every wedding should be about, but rarely gets said.  Paul even ordered a Christmas door wreath as a surprise for Jo, using their wedding flowers....what a lovely thought.

Jo and Paul wanted flowers that matched their personalities, and added colour and pazazz to their special day.  They went for a hot pink and lime green floral theme, and we chose gerberas, roses, anthuriums, celosia, kermit, shamrock blooms and greentrick along with china grass as the main flowers. 

We wanted to incorporate all the flowers used elsewhere into Jo's bouquet and make it striking, textured and a little bit funky.  We added a sparkly gerbera shaped brooch which echoed the brooch on the hip area of her dress.  For her sister's bouquet, we used hot pink germinis, greentrick and kermit along with china grass.

Paul wore a double Green Tea rose buttonhole with kermit heads at the front and backed with china grass, whilst the groomsmen all wore hot pink gerberas as a contrast.  Jo's Mum loves orchids, and hence we used a few hot pink dendrobrium orchids along with chincherinchee and spray roses along with china grass.  For Paul's Mum, we used chincherinchee and spray roses.

For the tables we provided mirrored cubes containing a hand-tied bouquet of hot pink and lime green flowers (as listed above) in a hidden aqua pack to allow them to be given to guests at the end of the day.  Each tablecentre was placed on a central mirror, with smart candles added around the edge. 

For the top table, we used three slightly smaller mirrored cubes with a similar arrangement to the guest tables.   Between each, we added a cluster of Smart Candles for additional sparkle.  We also added Green Tea roses through the tied napkins on the top table just as a finishing touch.

We also provided two cubes for the celebrant table in the very pretty gazebo outside.  Mantelpieces, windowledges and the bar in the Clocktower Suite were dressed with low glass votives, each with a hot pink or lime green flower, which really added impact despite being really simple. 

To welcome guests to the Clocktower, we provided baytrees entwined with fairy lights and with a hot pink and lime green bow under the ball.  Each was finished with hot pink sisal at the bottom.

Jo and Paul had thought of everything with a table full of hot pink and lime green sweets, pink and green cupcakes (for which we provided a floral topper to match the tablecentres) and their table plan was inspired.....cd's with a different favourite song for each table, including the fantastic Dignity by Deacon Blue....great song.

I know Jo and Paul had a wonderful day, emotional at times, but perfect for them in every way.  Having had a tough year, Jo deserved the very best and its been a complete pleasure to work with Paul and Jo.  We wish them all the very best for a happy life ahead, and a lovely honeymoon at the end of the month.   

Emma and Daniel's wedding reception at Westerham Golf Club

Emma's Mum Jackie got in touch with us via a recommendation from Liz and Matt (Cornish wedding in May)....even before Liz and Matt had seen their flowers!  Emma had already chosen her stunning Pronovias dress and knew she wanted a fresh, pretty and romantic look in ivory and green.  She had set her heart on candelabra, and whilst we originally worked on black candelabra with gold accents, we ended up with the more contemporary chrome candelabra, which looked so lovely in the light and bright Westerham golf club.  Emma and Daniel are such a wonderful couple and were so excited about their wedding day, that we were thrilled the day dawned so bright and sunny. 

For the fresh green and ivory theme we used Vendella and Green Tea roses, white and green hydrangea, ivory hypericum berries, white trachellium, green skimmia, lisianthus and Anastasia blooms.  Foliage used was eucalyptus in order to keep everything looking very fresh.

Emma's bouquet was a soft textured hand-tied bouquet using roses, hydrangeas, trachellium and berries with a eucalyptus collar.  It was so pretty and would work well with Emma's gorgeous dress whilst allowing it's full beauty to be seen.  For her bridesmaids, we provided hand-tied bouquets of Vendella and Green Tea roses, hypericum berries and green skimmia along with eucalyptus collars and scaled them down in size according to the age of the bridesmaid.

The boys wore toning rose buttonholes with hypericum berries and eucalyptus and Jackie wore a wrist corsage to complement her buttermilk and black outfit, whilst Daniel's Mum wore an ivory corsage of chincherinchee and spray roses along with loops of coral ribbon to tone with her outfit.

At Westerham Golf Club, we provided a candelabra arrangement for each of the guest tables using all of the flowers used elsewhere.  For the top table, we provided a low arrangement to sit in front of Emma and Daniel and decorated the rest of the top table with fluted votives and tealights, with florets of the green hydrangea sprinkled in between to add colour to the cloth.  We added to the place settings by placing a single rose on each setting on the top table.

For the two lovely mantelpieces either end of the reception room, we decided upon a collection of glass vases with a selection of the flowers used elsewhere.  Different height church candles were used in between, which were to be lit in the evening. 

Finally, we added to the cake table by sprinkling florets of hydrangea around the edge and provided several thank you bouquets (not pictured).

All in all, it was such a fresh, light, and romantic wedding reception...perfect for Emma and Daniel.  Everyone at Westerham Golf Club had done such a lovely job preparing the room in advance that it was so easy to provide the finishing touches to what we hope was a perfect day for Emma and Daniel.

Lauren and Emil's wedding at Combe Bank School

We've done so many lovely weddings recently, we're spolit for choice (and out of time) to get them all onto the blog.  Another such wedding was Lauren and Emil's wedding at Combe Bank School, complete with a carriage drawn by Freesian horses, which we can't wait to see a photograph of.

The wedding was a mixture of pinks, ivories and lilacs and was designed from start to finish by Jacky, Lauren's Mum.  No stone was left unturned in planning all the detail and it looked just lovely on the day.

The flowers were a mix of Sweet Avalanche, Dolce Vita, Vendella, Tenga Venga and Amnesia roses, Alpengluhen hydrangeas, lisianthus, nerines, delphiniums, lilies and freesia along with mixed foliage, all in a palette of colours to complement the deep lilac bridesmaids dresses, yet add colour and "zing" to the venue. 

Rather than describe them all in detail, here's a few photos for you to see yourself.  We've included some of the detail shots as well.  Hope you like them.
