Olivia & Nick at Stoke Place, Stoke Poges, Bucks

This was my first visit to Stoke Place and I wasn't disappointed, describing itself as 'a modern country house with 4 star luxury' and set in acres of beautiful grounds, I fell in love with this venue.

Olivia and Nick celebrated their wedding last November and opted for crisp whites and ivory flowers with stunning Lily of the Valley as a feature of the bouquets.
With varying shapes and interesting flowers for texture, there was little need for foliage, we added touches of silver Brunia for a wintery feel.

The tables were decorated with glass footed bowls, keeping the design low but off the table so you could clearly see the flowers. We added pearls over the flowers which draped beautifully around the edges.

To compliment the large round table in the bar area, we made a larger urn display to match the other tables. Olivia and Nick placed photographs of their parents and grandparents on this table, which gave a truly vintage feel.

The top table was decorated using a collection of silverware, with small clusters of white flowers.
And a matching cluster of white flowers for the cake.

There are so many beautiful images, I have to share them with you!
Thank you Binky Nixon Photography, who never fails to provide stunning images.



















A sparkling day at Horwood House

Kristy was great to work with, she was very open about not knowing exactly what flowers she'd like but knew the look she wanted to achieve. We worked together to come up with a luxurious design of blue and white Hydrangeas, cream Roses and tall wandering Willow draped with chandellier crystals.

The bridesmaids wore pastel blue dresses and the blue theme continued through the flowers.

The flower girls held pomanders of blue hydrangea and ivory Spray Roses.

Kristy had the reception room decorated with ivory drapes and had lighting behind for even more sparkle and magic.
The room looked beautiful!


















Colour crazy at Mentmore Golf and Country Club


Bright and fun is the only way to describe these wedding flowers - with clashing brights and interesting textures, Laura was very adventurous with her flowers and wanted them to really stand out.

Her styling was 50's and it was perfect for her. With her tea length dress and sharp hair style, I loved everything about Laura's wedding.

I only have a few images but I hope you enjoy looking...

Thank you







Coral and creams at Mercure Parkside, Milton Keynes

Take a look at this elegant wedding which took place at St Barnabas Church, Linslade, with the reception at The Mercure Parkside, Milton Keynes.

Victoria and Paul didn't want to take away from the beauty of St Barnabas Church and so kept the decoration very simple. We used ivory organza to make bows to drape along the ends of the pews and the effect was stunning.

Victoria opted for a coral colour scheme, with creams and ivory to compliment. The flower of the day was the classic Rose, with coral, cream and ivory, the results were very elegant and simply beautiful.

The two beautiful flower girls wore headdresses of ivory Spray Roses and Gypsophila, they carried small posies of ivory and coral Roses.

Victoria's bouquet was mainly ivory and cream Roses with pops of coral. Finished with diamantes for a touch of sparkle.
The table centrepieces looked very art deco, with square mirror cubes, bevel edged and sat upon mirror plates with mirror tea light holders, creating a romantic atmosphere in the evening.

I loved working with Victoria and her wonderful mum who was with her every step to ensure their day was perfect. I wish Victoria and Paul every happiness together.


Thank you to Songbird Photography for these beautiful images, you captured the day perfectly.
(Except the last two images are mine, sorry!)

Amy & Andrew's colourful wedding at Crockwell Farm

With soft lemon bridesmaids dresses, Amy and Andrew decided to make yellow a statement in other areas. Amy wore beautiful yellow shoes with diamante detail and Andrew braved yellow socks!
The flowers were mainly peach and coral but the yellow was a key element here too. We used Craspedia balls to subtly introduce the colour, which gave great texture and wasn't too overbearing. 

Crockwell Farm is a beautiful old farm, transformed into a magical countryside retreat, with cottages to stay overnight, a beautiful wooden beamed room for the ceremony and a large marquee for the reception. 
Perfect!
