Today's wedding is the lovely Carly and Joe's wedding from earlier this month. Having had to change their original church booking, they married in Cliffe church and had their reception at Cooling Castle Barn. Carly and Joe were the easiest and loveliest people to work with and just wanted a pretty and romantic wedding. Carly once said she thought she was being a bridezilla because she was concerned about whether the top table arrangement was going to be right and dared to ask the question!!...she's about as far from a bridezilla as you can get!!! I loved working with them both. They also had a lovely photographer (www.peterreynoldsphotography.com. 07915068413) who has supplied us with some photos so you can see something other than our flowers!
Carly's dress was a stunning fitted lace gown which suited her perfectly and was worn with a scalloped edged veil. She looked beautiful! Her girls all wore different dresses in the same mink / caramel colour. We provided a textured hand-tied bouquet for Carly using roses, tulips, ranunculus, freesias, peonies, lisianthus, waxflower, astrantia, bouvardia, hypericum ....I'll stop there. It was lush and full and pretty! We wrapped the stems in offcuts of the lace. For her girls, we used smaller versions of the main bouquet with slightly less varieties of flowers and scaled them down in size from the adult bridesmaids to the single rose surrounded with smaller flowers for the smallest flower girl.
The boys looked immaculate and very handsome in their tails! We provided a textured buttonhole for Joe, based around a rose then used ranunculus instead of a rose for the rest of the boys. Lades had delicate lapel corsages with details to tie in with their outfits.
At Cooling, we dressed the beams with faux blossom garlands and warm white fairy lights. We then added a lovely rustic heart to the plough and dressed the top table in front of the plough with a cascading rosebowl arrangement in the centre surrounded by smaller vases of flowers. The front of the table was left open to allow full visibility and we added a range of vintage vases filled with flowers to make it that little bit extra special.
We then alternated between rosebowl arrangements for some guest tables, and tall full candelabras with softly flickering lights and soft, pretty arrangements.
I think the whole room with the chiavari chairs instead of seat covers looked magical...such a soft, gentle pretty colour palette overall. We know Carly and Joe had an amazing time and wish them a wonderful life together! I'll miss our email "chats"!
