James and Katie’s stunning Aynhoe Park wedding

by Joanna Carter Wedding Flowers· February 04, 2017· in Uncategorized· 0 comments tags: oxfordshire wedding flowers, pink wedding flowers, www.aynhoepark.co.uk, www.barkerevans.com, www.joannacarterflowers.co.uk, www.sldesignsltd.com
James and Katie got married at the gorgeous Aynhoe Park.  An amazing, eclectic, wow factor venue in northern Oxfordshire.   It is one of our favourite venues to work in, filled with an ever changing intriguing mix of curiosities and popular with brides who want something different and quirky and yet welcoming and homely at the same time.   Katie was such a wonderful client. Enthusiastic and energetic and totally willing to take on board ideas and suggestions.  We used mixed shades of pink throughout her day, decorating the church  and the house with a mix of fresh flowers and paper flowers that Katie had spent the months leading up to the wedding painstakingly creating.  The results were amazing, unique and really impactful. All the photos in this blog were taken by another of our favourite contacts, the lovely Harley and Susie at www.barkerevans.co.uk .  Amazing photographers and Aynhoe regulars!                               Thank you James and Katie for letting us be part of your special day – one of our last weddings of 2016 and a brilliant way to end a spectacular year!

Jennette and Daniel were blessed with a beautiful sunny summer day for their wedding.  The setting was the gorgeous Ardington House, near Wantage in Oxford.  The stunning country house with a large marquee in the grounds is the perfect backdrop for a wedding with a lake and small island for outdoor ceremonies.  We love working here with the three distinct areas of the house, marquee and ceremony gazebo,  all of which are easy to decorate and look stunning at the end!   All these brilliant photos were captured by the lovely Harley and Susie from www.barkerevans.com.  Our paths have crossed at several weddings again this summer and every meeting just reinforces what brilliant photographers and lovely people they are.   Jennette chose ivory flowers with an accent of dusky vintage pink from memory lane roses, a light, pretty and summery mix of flowers.       The outdoor ceremony area has a stunning small stone gazebo which we decorated with flower garlands, pew end bunches and petals.             In the marquee we placed large cylinder vases with bunches of white hydrangea, gypsophila, avalanche and memory lane roses.  On the top table we added long garlands […]

Sophie and Luke’s wonderful flower filled wedding back in March started our 2016 wedding season in the most amazing way!  They got married at Cripps Barn in Bibury, which was a new venue for us to work in,  but one that we instantly adored.  Sophie and Luke both wanted their flowers to be really impactful and to make the day really special which was wonderful for us as we were able to make some stunning large scale arrangements to wow their guests. The colour scheme for the day was ivory, cream and a very subtle accent of peach which worked brilliantly against the stone walls and wooden beams of the barn.  We were lucky enough to have the wonderful Andy Gaines taking the photos and he captured the whole day perfectly.  ( www.andygaines.com).     The most striking piece of the day was the 18ft circumference ceiling garland that hung above the ceremony room.   It was a brilliant piece to work on filled with hydrangeas, roses, stocks, amaranthus and orchids.  Just lovely! The ceremony room had a deep mantelpiece behind the Registrar’s table that we covered with a long garland that sat in front of the venue’s tall candelabra. […]

The settings for Marc and Gaelyn’s wedding ceremony and reception could not have been more lovely and were a real treat for us to work in.  It is always a real privilege to work in any of the Oxford Colleges with their ornate chapels, stunning quads and elegant gardens and Hertford College was no exception.  On hand to capture the day was the brilliant Kate Hopewell Smith.  Her photographs are always stunning and this one was no exception. ( www.katehopewellsmith.com) Gaelyn chose a palette of soft pink and ivory for her flowers which worked perfectly in both settings.  Her bouquet of secret garden roses, ivory spray roses, thlaspi green bell and vendella roses was simple but beautiful. Gaelyn chose lovely jacket corsages for the ladies in the wedding party using soft pink secret garden roses and ivory spray roses.   Marc and the other men in the wedding party had similar buttonholes that included fragrant lily of the valley and looked lovely.   Gaelyn and her bridesmaid got ready at the elegant Randolph hotel in Oxford city centre which was a great photo opportunity as they left for the chapel at Hertford College.     At the chapel Gaelyn asked […]

Florence and Russell got married at Caswell House, a stunning Cotswold stone barn set in elegant gardens and one of our favourite venues to work at.  It is a beautiful mix of old and new, with wonderful old beams and high ceilings which flood the venue with light. Florence chose a mix of soft pink and ivory flowers and filled every bit of the venue with flowers so that each area of the Barn looked absolutely stunning.   Florence chose a hand tied bouquet of mixed roses and spray roses in ivory and soft pink.       The bridesmaids carried simple pretty bouquets of white hydrangea which complemented their pale pink dresses perfectly.   In the main barn we decorated the ceremony area with tall clear glass flute vases on bespoke wooden plinths topped with an arrangement of hydrangea and roses.  We placed a wreath on the door immediately behind the registrars table and tied small posies on to the chairs in the aisle to act as pew ends.  The room was finished off with small vases of flowers on the window sills.            It made the perfect backdrop for  signing the register following […]

Fiona and Ted’s stylish winter wedding flowers at the Tythe Barn, Launton, Oxfordshire

Ted and Fiona created a stunning fairy light filled setting for their elegant wedding reception at The Tythe Barn in Launton, Oxfordshire.  They chose a mix of deep plum, soft pink, ivory and soft icy grey which gave the whole scheme a gorgeous wintery frostiness.  This was the last of 4 weddings this year that I have worked on alongside Nicola and Glen from www.weddingsbyNicolaandGlen.com  They are fabulous photographers and have captured every wedding we have done this summer just perfectly!       Their ceremony was in the local Church of St Mary’s in Launton, just  a stones throw from the Tythe Barn.  We decorated the outside of the church with a beautiful archway swag which made a lovely backdrop for photos.   The ushers were ready for the rain but luckily it held off until after the wedding and meant Ted and Fiona could have some photos outside before heading in to the twinkly lights off the Barn.   After the ceremony and some churchyard photographs, the guests were all able to walk back to the Barn from the church along the country lane.         Fiona’s bridesmaids wore 3 contrasting shades of pink, plum and […]

Lucy and Chris were lucky enough to hold their wedding in the stunning setting of Balliol College chapel and dining hall.  One of the oldest of the Oxford colleges, it has several lovely walled gardens and beautiful architecture which were a stunning backdrop for the wedding. Lucy chose classic and elegant soft peachy pinks and ivory for her wedding flowers as these seemed to fit the surroundings well.  We used David Austin scented Keira roses in her bouquet which had a slight trail to it and mixed the roses with talea soft peach roses, astilbe, lisianthus and ivory spray roses.   It was a lovely romantic and feminine bouquet.   A big thank you to Harley and Susie at www.barkerevans.com for these stunning photos.  Every wedding we do with you is so beautifully captured and this one is no exception!       The bridesmaids carried hand tied bouquets of peach talea roses with ivory lisianthus which toned perfectly with their dresses.       The chapel is so ornate and beautiful that all we needed to add was a pair of elegant pedestal arrangements at the top of the aisle and two heart shaped wreaths that we attached to […]

Kathryn and Paul got married on a wonderful Friday in early September, making the most of the lovely indian summer weather.  Kathryn chose a mix of ivory, soft pink and pale blue for the flowers, a lovely warm summery mix, perfect for the time of year. (Photography courtesy of www.gemmawilliamsphotography.co.uk).     We used stunning pale blue delphinium buds throughout the day for a lovely touch of gentle powder blue.  Alongside this were avalanche and sweet avalanche roses, lisianthus, lily of the valley and hydrangea.       We even managed to include the lovely delphiniums in Kathryn’s hair, while the bridesmaids had tiny clusters of white hydrangea.           The wedding ceremony took place in the ornate chapel at Lincoln College, one of the beautiful historic Oxford colleges.  As the chapel is so ornate, it only needed 2 pedestals arrangements at the top of the aisle to add a burst of colour and soften the room.         Following the ceremony the couple had some photos in the lovely flower filled Quad outside the Chapel before heading to Rhodes House for their reception.                 The wedding breakfast […]

Anna and Joe’s wildflower wedding at Hall Barn

Anna and Joe asked us to give them wedding flowers with a difference.  Informal, loose and wild and wherever possible including poppies, Anna’s favourite flower.  The colour palette was red, orange, yellow, cream and ivory with plenty of greenery.  Anna asked us to try to avoid an autumnal look and to keep it looking as bright and summery possible. For Anna’s bouquet we used coral peonies, red and orange dahlias, daisies, cream antirrhinum,  pink hypericum berries, alchemilla mollis, crocosmia and loads of mixed foliage.  It was loose and informal and created a real statement.   Anna’s bridesmaids carried bouquets of red dahlia’s , alchemilla mollis, yellow craspedia and ivory scabious which looked great against their navy dresses.   In keeping with the informal theme we made all the buttonholes different, all using mixed varied elements of the wedding flowers but each one unique!                   Anna and Joe got married in a church service in Amersham and then headed to Hall Barn in Beaconsfield for their Tipi reception.  Hall Barn is a lovely hidden gem,  little known and with acres of lovely grounds. It was the perfect spot for their tipi to be […]
