Louise & David's Sunflower Spectacular at Ashridge House

Louise and David asked me to be there florist and broke the news that they were to wed at the stunning Ashridge House. I was over the moon as Ashridge is a firm favourite of mine, not many venues take my breath away quite like Ashridge.

They opted for a theme of Sunflowers, the bridesmaids wore lilac dresses, so to bring this into the flowers we subtly added clusters of Lavender to the bouquets.

The staircase was dressed for the ceremony and silver candelabras on the table centres were the feature for the reception dinner.

Enjoy...












Lucy & Dom's Polka Dot wedding at Eversholt Hall


When Lucy came to see me and told me her colour scheme was red, yellow, pink and blue, I felt a little faint! An brave choice for a bride, but Lucy had every confidence in her theme.
Polka Dots, tree bark vases and vintage bridesmaids...a superb mixture of elegance and fun.

Lucy's dress was fairytale to a T! An English Rose with a fresh, young outlook. 

I hope you enjoy these pictures, I loved working on Lucy & Dom's wedding, Lucy's Dad was a star, he was hugely involved in all the organising of the day and came to see me several times to discuss the table decorations.
Simple clusters of garden style flowers, in the bright mix of colours to suit the theme of the wedding.

Lucy's bouquet was a loose, full shower bouquet with lashings on foliages.

A large Heart sat on an easel in the Church and was then moved to Eversholt Hall for the reception.

Three beautiful flower girls wore circlet headdresses which looked beautiful and really suited the theme of the day.

Anna-Marie & Andrew at Horwood House -Vintage pearls, Roses and Peonies


A glorious day at Horwood House for Anna and Andrew.
Anna opted for 1950's elegance and pearl detailing. The dress was from Xquisite Bridal and quite unusual, being sleeveless with a round neck, which suited her perfectly and set the 50's look.

Anna loved the simplicity of Roses, we mixed ivory with white Roses, to add texture, without the need of foliage, the roses were adorned with pearl centres and bound with ivory satin.
The gents wore an ivory Rose with large Galax leaves and Eucalyptus.

The table centres were tall Martini Vases, filled with pink and white Peonies, antique and soft pink Roses and white Hydrangea, and draped with pearls to finish.

The top table was decorated with bowls filled with ivory Roses and Fern to soften the look, draped with ivory pearls.

Anna also chose to hire Bay Trees, decorated with fresh Roses, these were either side of the aisle during the ceremony and then moved to either side of the top table for the wedding breakfast.
