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 […]

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 […]
