Riah and Ed were married at Aynhoe Park in the middle of this summer’s glorious heatwave. (www.aynhoepark.co.uk) Their wedding was a joy to work on, as they were keen to have spectacular flower arrangements in every part of the venue and for each element of their big day. To take advantage of the stunning weather they held their ceremony outside on the lovely west terrace and commissioned us to make a spectacular arch arrangement tumbling down the steps of the terrace. We used a palette of white, ivory and shades of soft pink along with plenty of mixed summer greenery. A multitude of different types of rose and spray rose with beautiful peonies and hydrangeas formed the basis of most pieces along with several lovely varieties of eucalyptus. Even the lions flanking the ceremony arch were given bridal crowns! Large Urns at the bottom of the aisle marked the entrance to the outdoor ceremony area and the lovely Louis Ghost chairs had bunches of roses and stocks tied at intervals up the aisle. We created a second smaller arch over the entrance to the dining room and added a stunning thick flower border to Ed and Riah’s table plan […]

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 […]

This was such a lovely wedding, from my very first meeting with Lucy and Christopher, who were such happy positive clients to work with, right through to their wedding day, where the early morning showers gave way to bright sunshine in perfect time for the ceremony.

It was warm, rich and bright and worked beautifully in both the elegant venues at Blenheim. The day was photographed by Nicola and Glen (www.weddingsbynicolaandglen.com). These stunningly clear and bright photographs are amazing and show how well they know this lovely venue. We are very grateful to them for letting us publish their photographs here.

Henry and Krista’s recent wedding is without doubt one of the most lovely weddings I have ever worked on. The wedding was full of personal touches like pheasant feathers and wheat straight from Henry’s parents farm which we mixed in with the flowers. Their day was stylish and beautiful but still really relaxed and fun.
