Xuejie and Matthias’ wedding was set against the stunning backdrop of Oxford’s Bodleian Library and the Oxford Union. Two stunning venues for their beautiful day. It was a pleasure to work on another lovely wedding with brilliant wedding planner Emily from The Moment Studio (www.tmstudiouk.com) and fabulous photographer Chloe from www.caughtthelight.com who took these amazing photos! Xuejie chose to have two separate floral looks for the ceremony and reception . Simple large foliage urns and vases of white flowers for the ceremony along with piles of books to reflect the setting of the ceremony in the Bodleian library and then soft romantic shades of coral, pale pink and raspberry for the reception at the Oxford union. Xuejie asked us to keep the bride and bridesmaids bouquets small and neat so the girls carried small mixed domes of roses and spray roses. For the reception we supplied lots of small mixed gold vases of flowers that were scattered down the dining tables and on the tables outside for the drinks reception. Xuejie’s mother added traditional chinese fans to the tables and piles of books as a nod to the Bodleian. Xuejie and Matthias finished their day with a carefully choreographed […]

Yasmin and Joe’s wedding at Caswell House was a gorgeously elegant affair. The wedding took place on a wonderfully warm July day, with the ceremony in front of the beautiful outdoor stone pergola which we decorated with a stunning floor length flower arch in soft blue and ivory. The arch was complemented by clusters of flowers on the chairs in the aisle and lovely confetti cones filled with dried delphinium petals. For Yasmin and Joe’s wedding reception we decorated Wenman’s Barn with over 250 stems of white delphinium which were hung from the ceiling. Meanwhile, on the tables we placed large cylinder vases with hand tied bunches in shades of soft blue and ivory. The stunning wedding cake was made by Samantha from www.theprettycakecompany.co.uk The hoop of sugar flowers on the front matched the flowers in the table vases perfectly. Yasmin and Joe’s stunning wedding day was brilliantly captured by amazing photographers Harley and Susie from www.barkerevans.com and we are very grateful to them for sharing it with us.

Without a doubt Jack and Charlotte’s wedding was one of the highlights of 2019 for us. Not only is Aynhoe one of our favourite venues but Charlotte’s desire to have amazing arrangements in every part of the venue gave us license to really go to town with some spectacular creations. From the alfresco pre wedding dinner the night before all the way through the big day we created some stunning large scale pieces in each room. Charlotte chose a palette of ivory with accents of soft blue and blush pink along with plenty of foliage. We were lucky to work with brilliant photographer Voyteck, ( www.london-weddingphotographer.com) who knows the venue well and captured Jack and Charlotte’s wedding celebrations perfectly. We hope you love this wedding as much as we did. Extra large urn arrangements on the West Terrace greeting guests arriving at Jack and Charlotte’s pre wedding dinner. A large floral border around the sign welcoming guests to the wedding. Even the lion sculptures on the Terrace were adorned with headdresses! The next morning we dressed the Orangery for Jack and Charlottes ceremony with a floor to ceiling garland behind the registrars table, arrangements on top of the tall columns in the […]

We are so lucky in Oxfordshire to have a range of stunning stately homes and country houses to work in, including the amazing Ardington House. We absolutely adore creating beautiful arches and garlands for our clients and the one we created for Abby and Taz’s wedding at Ardington this summer was a definite favourite! A wonderfully wild asymmetric design, with plenty of mixed foliage and soft ivory and blush flowers, it was a really focal feature for their ceremony, which was held on a small island in the grounds at Ardington. Everything about Abby and Taz’s day was big in scale, from the stunning bouquet we created for Abby to carry, to the tall foliage filled table centres and the oversized hoop above the dance floor. Every detail was captured brilliantly by photographers Nick and Aimie from Beziique ( www.beziique.com). The island at Ardington is home to a lovely temple that makes a really romantic backdrop to any ceremony. Adding the loose foliage filled garland along with clusters of candles and bunches of flowers on the chairs in the aisle finished it all off beautifully. This wedding was a real family affair with plenty of small flower girls […]

Emma and Tom’s wedding took place on a sunny warm Saturday at the beginning of June. The ceremony was in the lovely Church of St Peter and St Paul in Kings Sutton. The church is set back from a small village green in the centre of the village, with a lovely lychgate at the bottom of the path, it makes an idyllic setting for a ceremony. Emma and Tom chose a gorgeous mix of pale and mid blue shades mixed with white and ivory and plenty of greenery. It was such a pretty colour palette to work with and the inclusion of fragrant sweet peas and stocks meant it smelled lovely too. We decorated the lychgate at the bottom of the church path to welcome guests as they arrived and placed pew ends and pedestals in the church Following the ceremony the reception took place at Kirtlington Park. Kirtlington is a stunning stately home which is newly renovated and has elegant light filled reception rooms which provided the perfect backdrop for Tom and Emma’s wedding reception along with elegant grounds for their drinks reception and photos.

Lisa and Mark’s wedding was held just before Christmas in the lovely setting of Caswell House, a series of beautifully converted barns on the edge of the Cotswolds. The venue was filled with twinkly fairy lights and masses of lovely white flowers. Lisa was keen to incorporate blossom through out her wedding and as it was out of season we tracked down a really good quality, realistic faux blossom to make sure it could be a focal part of her day. Lisa’s bouquet was one of my favourite of the whole year, with tiny pine cones nestled amongst ivory roses, beautiful anemones with black centres, spray roses with the subtlest hint of peach, soft grey brunia berries and seasonal spruce alongside skimmia, eucalyptus and senecio. A gorgeous mix of ivory, green and grey. Lisa’s bridesmaids wore elegant black dresses and carried simple bouquets of anemones with the black of their dresses reflected in the centre of each anemone. The Barn looked stunning swathed in fairy lights, which we accessorised with plenty of lovely silver and glass lanterns that started off in the aisle and were then moved to the window sills of the barn in time for […]

James and Daryl’s wedding was our first in the stunning setting of Cliveden House. It is a truly amazing venue. An iconic stately home set in beautiful grounds with a view that stretches for many miles. James and Daryl commissioned us to provide flowers for their pre dinner meal for 60 close family and friends the night before their wedding, for their church ceremony in a wonderful church in Old Beaconsfield and then for their lavish reception for 160 at Cliveden House. Daryl asked for arrangements that were flower heavy with subtle foliage accents and kept the colour palette to simple clean shades of white and ivory. As the wedding took place in the middle of peony season we were keen to include as many as possible in all her arrangements. We also included plenty of white hydrangeas, white roses and spray roses with touches of white scabious, white stocks and white delphiniums. James and Daryl’s scheme was elegant and opulent and was a perfect choice for their wonderful venues. We are very grateful to Zoschia Zacharia (www.zoschiazachariaweddings.com) for sharing her beautiful photos of the day.

James and Daryl’s romance is a wonderful transatlantic love story full of wonderful traditions from both America and the UK. They met in Daryl’s home city of New York before a long distance relationship that led to Daryl moving to London to be with James. They chose the iconic backdrop of Cliveden for their wedding reception. As well as providing the flowers for their stunning wedding day we were also thrilled to work with them on their beautiful pre wedding dinner which took place on a beautiful June evening in the stylish setting of Cliveden House. The couple invited 60 of their friends and family to join them for a stylish drinks reception on the terrace with its panoramic views across Berkshire, followed by a meal in the elegant french dining room. The evening and the gorgeous wedding the next day were all captured expertly by lovely photographer Zoschia Zacharia. ( www.zoschiazachariaweddings.com).

In the midst of this summer’s stunning weather, holding your wedding in a venue with a lovely outdoor ceremony area is a definite advantage. Caswell House (www.caswellhouse.co.uk) is lucky enough to have a beautiful outdoor ceremony area, set in gorgeous gardens that were just perfect in the lovely weather we had this summer. Catherine and Daniel got married at the end of July on a gloriously sunny day. They held their ceremony outside under the gorgeous cotswold stone loggia, with drinks in the lovely gardens and then their wedding breakfast in the stone barn. Catherine kept to a beautifully classic understated green and white palette with plenty of mixed green foliage. We used a range of stunning white and ivory flowers including roses, ammi, spray roses, astilbe, hydrangea, eucharis lily, agapanthus, scabious and antirrhinum. We loved the elegance of Catherine and Daniel’s wedding. A big thank you to photographer Hannah McClune (www.hannahmcclunephotography.com) for these stunning images. The bridesmaids carried domes of roses, eucharis lily, spray rose and a light collar of senecio foliage to pick up on their soft grey dresses. The couple’s wedding breakfast was held in the light and airy setting of Wenman’s Barn with its lovely […]

Riah and Ed were married at Aynhoe Park in the middle of this summer’s glorious heatwave. (www.aynhoepark.co.uk) Their wedding was a joy to work on, as they were keen to have spectacular flower arrangements in every part of the venue and for each element of their big day. To take advantage of the stunning weather they held their ceremony outside on the lovely west terrace and commissioned us to make a spectacular arch arrangement tumbling down the steps of the terrace. We used a palette of white, ivory and shades of soft pink along with plenty of mixed summer greenery. A multitude of different types of rose and spray rose with beautiful peonies and hydrangeas formed the basis of most pieces along with several lovely varieties of eucalyptus. Even the lions flanking the ceremony arch were given bridal crowns! Large Urns at the bottom of the aisle marked the entrance to the outdoor ceremony area and the lovely Louis Ghost chairs had bunches of roses and stocks tied at intervals up the aisle. We created a second smaller arch over the entrance to the dining room and added a stunning thick flower border to Ed and Riah’s table plan […]
