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 […]

Helen and Adam held their wedding ceremony and reception in the elegant Orangery at Blenheim Palace. They chose flowers in shades of white, pale pink and raspberry with elegant touches of gold dotted throughout the day. seo information Helen was keen for the flowers to be really impactful and asked us to make several stunning pieces to wow her guests! For the ceremony we made a floor to floor table runner for the registrar’s table using hydrangea, peonies, mixed roses and spray roses. We added to this tied chair bunches of roses and stocks as well as two lovely large ivory urns at the bottom of the aisle. At the foot of each row of chairs were large storm lanterns with church candles. Just before guests arrived we sprinkled petals in the aisle. Helen chose to carry a lovely bouquet of white hydrangeas to which we added pale pink peonies and raspberry pink roses to as well as ivory avalanche roses and pale pink sweet avalanche roses.
