Emma & Kevin's glorious Marquee wedding

A beautiful day emerged after a rainy few. Emma & Kevin held their wedding reception in a beautiful and very luxurious marquee in one of their gardens. It was the most impressive marquee I've seen this year, with glorious height and plenty of space for everyone to relax and mingle. The bar was at the rear, with the dance floor at the front.
So the flowers had to compliment...
Emma came for her consultations with her lovely mum, they were both a delight to deal with and the flowers played an important part.
Emma's dress was full lace with a champagne satin underlay, Emma wanted to bring out the champagne tone rather than a typical ivory. We opted for pure white flowers with warm champagne Vendella Roses to tone with the dress. We also used Lily of the Valley and Stephanotis, both gave incredible scent.
The flower girl carried a pomander of blue, yellow and white flowers, for a very fun and natural look. We used Regan (daisy) Chrysanthemums, Craspedia and Eryngium.
In the marquee we wanted to make a statement with huge flower balls hanging from the ceiling of the marquee...thank you to all the lovely chaps who helped pulley them up!
For the tables, we looked at various options but Emma was keen to keep it very natural looking, I bought in new candlesticks made of carved wood. They gave a beautiful old fashioned feel, impressive without being  too ott. These alternated with low stone containers, with a loose display of garden style flowers.
Top table was very different to the other tables, Emma's mum had a collection of old bottles that had been found in the grounds of her home, truly vintage! We filled them with stems of various flowers - Agapanthus, Craspedia, Chrysanthemum, Panicum, Freesia, Eryngium, Roses and Wax Flower.

I loved working on this wedding, the colours, the style and the people - it all worked perfectly.

Huge thanks to Rory Lindsay, who supplied these beautiful images.
I have added a few of my own, just to show the top table flowers close up. You can really tell which are mine! I'll stick to flowers...

Thank you.
