A couple of months ago we provided the flowers for Annabel and Sam's lovely wedding at Bearsted Church and afterwards at Kent Life.  Annabel wanted a very fresh and natural look to their wedding day and as Sam was going to be wearing military dress, we wanted to use navy touches but keep the flower colours ivory, cream and with just a hint of pale pink.

Annabel and Sam have shared some of their photos of their special day with us (taken by the lovely Layla and Paige at www.tdhmedia.co.uk)  and we have included some of our own as well to show you the whole range.  Annabel and Sam said "Thank you so much for our beautiful flowers and table centerpieces! Everyone complimented them! It worked fantastically with the venue and was exactly what I wanted it to look like"

The flowers we chose for the wedding were Vendella, La Belle, O'Hara and Bombastic roses, germinis, hypericum berries, hyacinths, bouvardia, ranunculus, chincherinchee, thlaspi and light foliage.  We used a selection including all colours for Annabel's bouquet and wrapped it in ivory ribbon with a small navy bow at the top.  For the bridesmaids and flower girl, we used just ivory and green flowers and wrapped them to match, with the bouquets scaled down in size to a posy for the Flower Girl.

As Sam was wearing military dress, it isn't appropriate for him to wear a buttonhole, so we just provided them for the groomsmen and kept them soft and natural and not too large.

In the church we used hanging vases filled with a selection of the flowers and colours on every other pew and attached them with navy ribbon. This set the scene for the wedding in a subtle and pretty way and allowed them to be easily detached afterwards and arranged along the top table.

For the main guest tables, we provided a central jug / pitcher filled with a hand-tied bouquet of flowers.  These were tied with a hidden ribbon meaning that they were perfect gifts to be given to guests at the end of the day.

I think you will agree that the wedding party looked stunning and that it was a really pretty wedding.  We know that they had a wonderful day and they now have these lovely photos to remind them.  We wish them a wonderful life together as Mr and Mrs Ruddom.

Siobhan and Shane's striking Bradboune House Wedding

Siobhan and Shane married in Addington Church last month and followed with their reception at Baradbourne House afterwards.  Siobhan knew how she wanted her day to look from the beginning and wanted a striking more contemporary feel matching a Cadbury's purple colour scheme.  Whilst we changed a few tiny detailed along the way, everything on the day was pretty much as Siobhan had envisaged from the start.

Siobhan had chosen a beautiful slimline gown with a long train and a fabulous lace overlay giving a bardot style neckine.  With her hair swept up, Siobhan looked amazing alongside the handsome Shane.  To show off Siobhan's dress and figure, we designed a slimline shower bouquet of calla lilies and orchids along with silver grass, a few leaves and some spriggy crystals, with the handle finished in lace.  For Siobhan's bridesmaids we provided white hydrangea bouquets interspersed with crystals and finished the stems in lace.

For the Groom's party, we provided a vanda orchid and calla lily buttonhole for Shane and calla lily buttonholes for the rest of the boys.  We designed corsages for ladies, with Roberta (Siobhan's Mum) having a smaller handbag corsage to complement her lapel corsage.  We also provided striking thank-you bouquets to surprise selected ladies on the day.

At Bradbourne House, the weather wasn't conducive to spending much time out of doors unfortunately, but Siobhan and Shane wanted to welcome their guests to the reception in style, so we dressed the front portico pillars with a mixed garland interespersed with hydrangeas, orchids and calla lilies.  We also dressed the mantelpiece in the entrance hall with vases filled with hydrangeas and two mini crystal globe candleholders to match the tablecentres.  We added a spray of matching flowers to the card box as well, and provided some vanda orchids for the tiered cheeses cake (which we couldn't photograph as it needed to be brought out much later in the day and orchids don't like fridges!).

For the wedding breakfast, each of the guest tables was dressed with a tall crystal globe candleholder on a circular mirror on the gorgeous new damask tablecloths.  Each of the candleholders was then surrounded by pumpkin vases full of striking purple hydrangeas....simple, yet so effective.  We then added smaller pumpkin vases filled with purple hydrangeas along the front of the top table along with empty vases for the bridesmaids' bouquets.  In between, we added colour to the cloth with orchids and hydrangea florets. 

We hope that Siobhan, Shane and all family and friends had a fabulous day and we hope you enjoy our photos.

Lauren and Darryl's relaxed and natural Cooling Castle Barn wedding

Today we feature a fresh and pretty wedding from Cooling Castle Barn using peppermint and ivory coloiurs with just a hint of pale pink.  It was pretty, natural and soft and we used roses, ranunculus, freesias, waxflower, paperwhites, hydrangeas, bouvardia, tulips, veronica and soft peppermint greens like eucalyptus, succulents etc.

Lauren and Darryl personalised their own fruit crates for the tables and also made lots of lovely bunting for us to hang.  We used a range of bottles, jars and pots for the flowers and added vintage books and other bits and bobs to finish the look. 

 

We loved the lights strung between the beams (thanks to Your Beautiful Day) as it brings the very high ceiling lower to work with lower tablecentres.  We hope you like it all.  It makes me smile and works perfectly with the lovely Spring weather today.
