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.
