James and Daryl’s stunning pre wedding dinner at Cliveden House
James and Daryl’s romance is a wonderful transatlantic love story full of wonderful traditions from both America and the UK. They met in Daryl’s home city of New York before a long distance relationship that led to Daryl moving to London to be with James. They chose the iconic backdrop of Cliveden for their wedding reception. As well as providing the flowers for their stunning wedding day we were also thrilled to work with them on their beautiful pre wedding dinner which took place on a beautiful June evening in the stylish setting of Cliveden House. The couple invited 60 of their friends and family to join them for a stylish drinks reception on the terrace with its panoramic views across Berkshire, followed by a meal in the elegant french dining room.
The evening and the gorgeous wedding the next day were all captured expertly by lovely photographer Zoschia Zacharia. ( www.zoschiazachariaweddings.com). A regular at Cliveden, Zoschia’s photos are stunning!
We covered the large mantelpiece in the french dining room with an opulent garland of hydrangea, roses, scabious, peonies, spray roses and stocks
On the long dining tables we placed large cube vases of roses, peonies and hydrangeas.
In between the vases of flowers we flooded the table with tall glass candle stands and tea lights.
