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.
