Emma & Adam's beautiful wedding at Mentmore Golf & Country Club


Emma and Adam held their reception at Mentmore Golf & Country Club, with beautiful grounds and the famous Mentmore Towers in the background, it was the perfect setting.

Thank you to Chris at Just Shoot Me Photography for these beautiful images!


Emma opted for champagne and white flowers, to compliment the champagne underlay of her gorgeous lace dress. She loved Orchids but wanted something classic looking, so choosing a trailing style bouquet with little foliage, adding Roses to the crown of the bouquet for a traditional finish.


The buttonholes were a single Rose with Astrantia


The bridesmaids wore a powder blue dress with a teal sash and Emma loved butterflies, we added just a couple here and there to introduce the colour, but not overwhelm the flowers.

A simple posy of ivory Roses with Gypsophila.




The tables were decorated using an ivory birdcage, lightly filled with white, champagne and ivory flowers, with a butterfly to continue the colour theme.




A beautiful bouquet for a beautiful girl...
I loved Emma's bouquet! The champagne worked perfectly with her dress, ivory Roses would have looked too harsh and almost yellow against this colour.
Emma's mum had Lily of the Valley in her bouquet and wanted to follow tradition, so we also added delicate stems of this through the bouquet, the scent was incredible!




Huge congratulations to Emma & Adam!

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.

Ellie & Mal at Soulbury Church and Creslow Manor

I'm pleased to share this beautiful wedding from September 2014, which took place at the picture perfect Church in Soulbury and then onto Creslow Manor.

Firstly, a huge thank you to Graham of Heartwood Photography for the superb images! I have a queue of blogs to catch up on but after receiving so many beautiful images from Graham, this one had to jump the queue!

Ellie first got in touch earlier in 2014 whilst travelling, we had an initial Skype consultation and I instantly 'got it' I understood the look she wanted to achieve, the style of the wedding and loved her laid back approach of just wanting a beautiful wedding and 'I trust you' attitude.

The results were breathtaking, Ellie's dress couldn't have suited her more, Mal looked truly handsome  and the Church looked like something out of a period drama.






Ellie's mum loves flowers and really wanted to have some input, she made dozens of pretty jars of flowers to line the walkway to the church and some more inside. We made a simple arch above the doorway, which was perfect for photographs.



The bridesmaids carried bouquets similar to Ellie's and the flower girl wore a full circlet headdress, or 'flower crown' as they are called nowadays!
Ellie also wore flowers in her hair, simple ivory Spray Roses pinned, for an elegant, classic style.



The gents wore cluster style buttonholes, smaller flowers with foliage for a change from the standard single ivory Rose.  The mums had a similar style, all finished with twine around the stem.




For the wedding breakfast, Ellie and Mal opted for low vases filled with ivory flowers and foliage. They also bought the vases, enabling them to give the flowers away at the end of the evening, they did in fact take them all the next day to a retirement home to give to the elderly residents.






The cake was a memorable one! Ellie had a 'cake emergency' and needed to cover some broken icing, the cake was a classic plain iced one she had ordered but had to assemble herself, note to brides - be careful stacking! So, we arrived armed with extra flowers and got to work, making delicate clusters to cover the holes and split icing, the finished result was much more beautiful then we could have imagined! Certainly unique! We also brought cake stands and hat boxes to give each cake its own stand.




Congrats to Ellie and Mal, we hope you loved your wedding as much as we did! xx
