As with many couples, Vicki and Simon decided to get married in Cyprus with close friends and family and then have a celebratory party here in the UK later in the year. Vicki asked us to design a contemporary and fresh ivory and green floral theme for the party. She wanted some additional sparkle and obligatory butterflies!
Whilst there wasn't going to be a formal seating plan, Vicki and Simon had a number of round tables which we dressed with a central mirror on which was placed a large martini glass arrangement. As the party was to be in the evening, we added fairy lights in the base of the martini vases and then designed arrangements of oriental lilies, shamrock blooms, roses, germinis, bridal gladioli and trachellium along with eucalyptus foliage. We draped crystals around the edge of each arrangement and added a large butterfly. Very striking.
We welcomed guests into the room with baytrees dressed with fairy lights and also wound organza ribbon around the stems. (Sorry about awful photo...had a bad camera day!)
For the bar, we added a mini martini vase to set the scene and then used mirrored cubes on the low occasional tables in the bar area containing hand-tied bouquets to match the wedding flowers.
Finally, we provided thank-you bouquets for the Mums.
It just goes to show that you can have the best of both worlds...European gorgeous weather and a Kent reception / party. And a chance to wear your wedding outfits twice...what's not to love!
