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.
