We've still got so many weddings unblogged from this year, but I wanted to end the year with a slightly festive feel, so here is Vanessa and Brian's lovely wedding from last week. They wanted an elegant, classic and striking look to the styling (perfect to match Vanessa's stylish look). The bridesmaid's dress was a lovely bronze / copper colour so we took the lead from there. Roses, hypericum berries and gold and bronze foliage worked alongside lots of natural wood and bark. And the weather turned super frosty and crisp...chilly but perfect for photos.
Vanessa is a truly stylish lady and had chosen a gorgeous glamorous dress, so we decided upon quite a simple bouquet of large headed Maroussia roses with ivory hypericum berries and seasonal foliage. To keep the look streamlined and elegant, we just scaled down the bouquet for Vanessa's bridesmaid and changed the colour ribbon on the stem. Really elegant and lovely.
For Brian and the boys, we followed the theme through with elegant roses, berries and foliage, with a gold eryngium thistle added for Brian. Corsages for Mums followed suit just using spray roses instead of the larger headed ones.
For the ceremony in the Garden Room, Turkey Mill had added lots of lovely pinecones to the baytrees that are in situ which looked lovely. We therefore just dressed the celebrant table with a fresh seasonal foliage garland with waxed apples, lotus heads, wood curls, bark, berries and silk pointsettia heads. Perfectly Christmassey and great to take home to adorn a mantelpiece for Christmas.
For the top table, we used two pieces of natural driftwood entwined with fairy lights and with clusters of flowers arranged along the length. Really unusual and stylish, and I know they were destined to end up on Vanessa and Brian's dining table for Christmas.
For the guest tables, we had Christmas in mind again as we wanted to design arrangements that would work both for the wedding and as appropriate giveaways for guests to enjoy during the festive season. We used wood, bark, silk pointsettias, roses, hypericum, spray roses, pussy willow, eryngium thistle and ornithogalum arabicum. Lots of scented festive foliage completed the look.
We then added an additional arrangement to the gift table to finish the look.
The Christmas trees in place in Turkey Mill matched the colour theme, and the lovely Creative Cakes cake finished the look.
We hope that after a few disappointments earlier in the week that Vanessa and Brian had a perfect day. Vanessa was looking fabulous (without make-up!) when we delivered her bouquets in the morning, so we can only imagine how lovely she will have looked later. We hope it was everything they had carefully planned and dreamed of!
