Hazel and Andy's stylish winter Eastwell Manor wedding

 On Twelfth Night, Hazel and Andy celebrated their wedding at Eastwell Manor, with a link across the internet to Hazel's family overseas (very clever eh).  We looked forward to this wedding as we loved spending time with Hazel and her daughters Clarissa and Dixie planning their wedding.  They are such a lovely family and we loved the theme of blue and snowflakes (which were kept as a surprise for Andy).

Hazel wanted an elegant and wintery blue and ivory wedding with a different twist.  She loves lilies and hence we decided to incorporate oriental lilies, longiflora lilies and calla lilies along with the unusual Honeymoon tulip, blue eryngium thistle, hypericum berries and lots of snowy branches / pussy willow etc.

Hazel's bouquet was a structural overarm bouquet of lilies, eryngium, freesias and pussy willow with rolled leaves and spriggy foliage.  Hazel is tall and slender and this bouquet was perfect for her stature and to show off her dress.  We finished it with a sparkly butterfly brooch to match the brooches on the Flower Girls' bags.  We also provided a range of spray roses and hypericum berries for Hazel's hair which was being dressed by the lovely Nina (a former bride of ours) who is an ace hairdresser!

For Clarissa, Hazel's bridesmaid, we decided to design a wrist corsage to extend up her arm.  This tied in with Hazel's overarm bouquet but was easier to manage, and not at all itchy!!  We added snowflakes to the ribbon trails to tie in with the theme.  Lovely!  We also provided roses for Clarissa's hair.

For Dixie and Mac the gorgeous Flower Girls, we designed floral handbags in silk so that they could have them as a keepsake.  We added blue detailing to the handle and in between the roses.  We then finished them with butterfly brooches front and back.

For the buttonholes, we used a calla lily for Andy with an eryngium thistle and pussy willow to tie in with Hazel's bouquet.  We then provided a tulip buttonhole for Dad and corsages for the Mums to tie in with their outfits.

For the ceremony table, we decided to keep it relatively simple with three different height cylinder vases with hand-tied honeymoon tulips with spriggy foliage.

We then designed rather unusual square tablecentres for the tables in the Rose Garden room using a more contemporary grouped approach and added raised glass tealight holders.  We also added snowflakes to the arrangements and to the wine glasses on the top table.

We loved the elegant simplicity of the wedding with the odd quirky detail such as the snowflakes, the diamond shaped cake with snowflakes cascading from the side, and the fabulous wellies.  We hope that despite it not being a frosty day (misty and grey unfortunately) that Hazel and Andy had a wonderful day.  They put so much thought into the details and the planning and I hope it was all perfect for them.
