Gemma and Mike's Vintage Garden Themed Wedding, Rhinefield House

A lovely vintage/garden themed wedding with a gorgeous mix of flowers and colours. Gemma was keen for the flowers to have a very natural look to fit in with the garden theme. Just beautiful for a late June wedding .

Ali's Very Natural, Ivory, Purple and Teal Wedding Flowers with a touch of Wild

Ali described herself as "a bit of a hippy at heart", a tall willowy bride in a long flowing Jenny Packham Dress -  this called for something a bit different. I love something a bit different ! The colours are purple, teal, silver and ivory  and the style, very natural with a hint of wild. Nothing to formal or to structured. 

Trailing and very natural, tied bouquet in purples,ivory, silver and deep green using roses, lisianthus, passion flower and astilbe with silver eucalyptus and loops and trails of ivy.

Lastly, a close up of Ali's bouquet, a gorgeous mix of  ivory roses,purple lisianthus and astilbe with long trails of eucalyptus, ivy and passion flower. 

I had a lovely note from Ali after our initial meeting thanking me for " achieving the impossible - making me excited about my flowers" And an equally gorgeous text after the wedding because she absolutely loved her flowers and her bouquet. That meant so much - to know that you can inspire people to love flowers even when they thought that was not possible.Like men, there is a bouquet for everyone, even those who had given up !

On that, I will just say thank you so much Ali for asking me to design and create your wedding flowers for you. I really did love working on these gorgeous and very natural designs for you and I am so glad they were loved so much.

June Showcase, New Place, Shirrell Heath

The June showcase at New Place was a perfect opportunity to show off some seasonal favourites. Peonies and sweet peas have a short season but are absolutely perfect for a June wedding. I love them ! We chose a bright and summery scheme of corals, reds and lime for a wedding breakfast in the Arden Suite and ever popular vintage pinks in the Bristol room. The dining room looked gorgeous decked out with lanterns and candles. 

Coral peonies, coral roses, red sweet peas and green hydrangea with ivy trails make a fabulous tall table centre for a June wedding. Bright and summery and the colours blended beautifully with the deep red chairs at New Place. 

Something different for the top table, martini and shot glasses filled with bright flowers on a line of mirror plates help create the summer party theme.

Coral sunset peonies and Miss Piggy roses fill small martini and shot glasses for the top table.

Ruth's Wedding Flowers, Lains Barn, Wantage

A lovely, natural scheme this featuring the always popular rose and thistle combination but given a country style look that was just perfect for the barn setting of Ruth's wedding. The groom was keen on gyp but the bride not on the smell - it's not actually that nice !  I've used lots of scented foliages and lavender with the roses and thistles to ensure these designs smelt as lovely as they looked.

For her wedding Paula had set her heart on hydrangeas, a lovely, soft, romantic mass of them given a contemporary touch by the addition of looped grass.
