What a sweet and colourful wedding Hannah and Lee had last week at Cooling Castle Barn. When we first met Heather and Lee at Detling Wedding Fair, we had created our "fruit salad" themed arrangements, and had an immediate link to Heather and Lee who wanted to use sweets within their wedding theme. We therefore provided one of our most colourful and striking weddings at Cooling Castle Barn using multi-coloured gerberas, black grasses and black tie leaves along with a range of sweets.
For each of the guest tables, we used an umbrella vase with a hand-tied arrangement through the centre, all with different coloured water, and each with filled with a single variety of sweets (haribo, black jacks, fruit salad, swizzles lollies, flying saucers etc)...
... and then for the top table used smaller umbrella vases with matching floral arrangements and with a "pick and mix" theme using all the sweets used on the guest tables. We also provided two of the smaller "pick and mix" umbrella vases for the celebrant table.
For Heather's bouquet, we used large black-eyed ivory gerberas along with calla lilies, grasses and folded black tie leaves in a contemporary overarm bouquet.
For her bridesmaids, it was hot pink gerberas all the way, with touches of the contrasting black being brought in with the grasses and the ribbon ties. Her flower girl also had a Serena gerbera with black grasses to tie in with remainder of the flowers.
For the bridal party, we matched Lee's and Heather's flowers by using a calla lily for his buttonhole, and then matched the remainder of the gentlemen to the bridesmaids with hot pink Serena gerbera buttonholes. The Mums both wore lapel corsages and hair slides using freesias, and chincherinchee with small loops of ribbon to tie in with their outfit colours.
All in all, on a beautiful sunny (although very chilly) day, we think Cooling looked fabulous with it's bright colours and striking designs. Judging by the very small amount of sweets left when we picked up the vases the following day, Heather and Lee's guests left with a very sweet reminder of their wedding!!
