Nicola & Lee at Offley Place, Hitchin


Whilst browsing previous weddings, I came across these beautiful images from Nicola & Lee's wedding at the stunning Offley Place.

We loved the green, peach and pink tones that Nicola chose and the simplicity of the table centres.


Nicola opted for an elegant, garden style posy of greens, peach and blush pink with trails of green Trailing Amaranthus for a striking look. 


The bridesmaids carried similar posies to compliment their green dresses but without the trails. 

The gents wore a beautiful ivory Rose finished with Rosemary and Ivy

The cake was dressed with green ribbon and the cake top flowers were peach cream and blush pink, kept very simple and informal. 

The tables were dressed with delicate birdcages with tea lights and a light and airy ring of white Gypsophila


The ceremony table was adorned with this stunning, garden style display, incorporating the Trailing Amaranthus to compliment Nicola's bouquet

Naomi & Paul's rustic charm wedding at Caswell House, Oxfordshire

Set in the charming Cotswolds, Naomi & Paul held their wedding at Caswell House, a wonderful venue that I would highly recommend. 

Firstly a huge thank you to the wonderful photographer for these beautiful images from Elliot W Patching Wedding Photography, we were thrilled to see so many wonderful images of the flowers. Thank you!



Naomi & Paul both had huge input into the flower choices, Paul was very enthusiastic about the flowers and wanted to be involved in every detail, Naomi came armed with lovely ideas and pictures which made the initial consultation a breeze, together we began to plan each area of the venue and what would work in the beautiful barn and for an outdoor wedding.  They were a joy to work with.

Rustic was a key word - Naomi wanted a very natural looking bouquet and for the bridesmaids to match hers, but a smaller version. To look almost as though she'd walked through a meadow picking the flowers herself, she was very open to different flower types and shapes, which made it even more of a pleasure because I was able to add in or change anything I thought would look better on the day. We opted for a wild mixture of lilac Roses, Dahlias, Lavender, Clematis, Eustoma, Limonium and various foliages including Eucalyptus. We also added in some dried Wheat which gave it a very rustic, outdoor feel.


The buttonholes were cluster style - a group of mixed flowers which were tied with twine to keep the theme running though.



The venue was wonderful to dress, beautiful chairs for the outdoor service - with added bunches of lavender and wheat tied with a hessian ribbon, the barn where they held the wedding breakfast - using a mixture of vintage style vases, we made loose posies of flowers, keeping everything low so guests could chat freely across the tables. The vases were included, which meant they were able to give these away to guests at the end of the evening.






We supplied Naomi with dried Lavender, to use for each place setting, they looked beautiful, so simple yet effective. 



We even dressed the bike - a simple bunch of Lavender with a lilac Rose.



We loved working at Caswell House and look forward to working there again in the future.





And lastly, a lovely email from Naomi and Paul after the wedding...

We would like to thank you for the stunning bouquets and floral decorations you provided. They were exactly what we wanted and you captured the vibe of our wedding perfectly! So many of our guests commented on how beautiful the flowers were.

It was always a pleasure meeting you and you gave us complete confidence that the flowers would reflect the theme of our day.

Thank you so much.

We would not hesitate to recommend you if any of your future potential clients require a reference we would be happy to assist.
