Sophie and Luke’s wonderful flower filled wedding back in March started our 2016 wedding season in the most amazing way! They got married at Cripps Barn in Bibury, which was a new venue for us to work in, but one that we instantly adored. Sophie and Luke both wanted their flowers to be really impactful and to make the day really special which was wonderful for us as we were able to make some stunning large scale arrangements to wow their guests. The colour scheme for the day was ivory, cream and a very subtle accent of peach which worked brilliantly against the stone walls and wooden beams of the barn. We were lucky enough to have the wonderful Andy Gaines taking the photos and he captured the whole day perfectly. ( www.andygaines.com). The most striking piece of the day was the 18ft circumference ceiling garland that hung above the ceremony room. It was a brilliant piece to work on filled with hydrangeas, roses, stocks, amaranthus and orchids. Just lovely! The ceremony room had a deep mantelpiece behind the Registrar’s table that we covered with a long garland that sat in front of the venue’s tall candelabra. […]

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 […]

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 […]

Helena and Andrew’s wonderful wedding took place at Le Manoir aux Quat’ Saisons. Helena chose to base her gorgeous flowers on the very beautiful pink piano rose. Many of our weddings this season have had a very pale or muted palette to this was a really exciting change for us. Helena also went for a wonderfully unique wedding dress and wore a stylish navy knee length dress from Chanel. she wore a lovely string of pearls with the dress and this became something of a theme throughout the day so we secured the ribbon on her bouquet with pearl headed pins!!

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.
