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

Carlene & Daniel's 'Romance and Roses' at The Dairy, Waddesdon.

After a rather large gap in the blogging, I'm back with a wedding I've been dying to share!
With thanks to Mark Sisley Photography, I'm pleased to show you images of a rather stunning wedding...

Another beautiful day at The Dairy, Waddesdon Manor estate, back in May. The weather was perfect and the styling for the day was full of lace and pearls with key colour trend for the year - blush & dusky pink with creams and ivory.

Carlene opted for a neat teardrop design, ensuring we didn't make this too wide as she has a petite frame and didn't want to cover too much of her dress.

Carlene and Daniel were both very enthusiastic about the flowers and wanted the table centrepieces to bring their romantic theme to life, using bold blooms of Roses, Peonies and Hydrangea, draped with pearls. Opting for tall conical vases, Daniel wanted a slightly contemporary look, but was very keen to add something unusual to the display. To continue the theme of pearls, we decided to add strands of pearls inside the vase with individual Rose buds suspended.

I hope you enjoy viewing these, as much as we enjoyed working on this beautiful wedding.

Congrats Carlene & Daniel! xx

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.
