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 soft grey so we gave them all matching bouquets in soft pink ivory and grey shades. We added deep plum cala lilies to Fiona’s bouquet for contrast.

The Tythe Barn had been beautifully decorated for winter with icy white birch branches in the ceiling and a lovely canopy of fairy lights woven in amongst them.  We added large balls of flowers hanging from the beams.

On each guest table we placed a tall silver candelabra with a large ball of hydrangea, cala lilies, roses, lisianthus and eucalyptus foliage.  The candles added to the lovely twinkling lights throughout the Barn.

In the bar area we placed large vintage apple crates full of flowers to greet guests as they arrived back from the church.

We loved the colour scheme Fiona and Ted chose and were thrilled with the overall look in the Barn once all the flowers were in place.  Thank you Ted and Fiona for letting us be a part of your wonderful day.

We used stunning pale blue delphinium buds throughout the day for a lovely touch of gentle powder blue.  Alongside this were avalanche and sweet avalanche roses, lisianthus, lily of the valley and hydrangea.

We even managed to include the lovely delphiniums in Kathryn’s hair, while the bridesmaids had tiny clusters of white hydrangea.

The wedding ceremony took place in the ornate chapel at Lincoln College, one of the beautiful historic Oxford colleges.  As the chapel is so ornate, it only needed 2 pedestals arrangements at the top of the aisle to add a burst of colour and soften the room.

Following the ceremony the couple had some photos in the lovely flower filled Quad outside the Chapel before heading to Rhodes House for their reception.

In front of the bride and groom we placed a low version of this combination of flowers to ensure they could be seen when it came time for speeches.

Kathryn and Paul chose a stunning cake from www.cakebyrachel.co.uk with 4 tiers covered in dove grey icing with small white bouvardia petals on.  We sat the cake on a lovely ring of flowers .  The Milner room has a lovely bay window overlooking the gardens that is the perfect setting for the cake!
