Beautiful peonies in shades of white, pale pink and claret red, the scent is amazing. Tuba rosa, another favourite for scent. Weddings so far this month are private houses with beautiful marquees on the lawn. Silver candelabra to give height to any table with crisp white table linen, or tall silver vases, overflowing with seasonal rose, peony, herbs and trailing ivy. Vintage pink is still playing a big part in the colour palette for many brides this season, amnesia rose a real favourite for bouquets to give that vintage shade to pale green and cream blooms.

Next week we are off to the lovely Chilston Park - the bride is flying in from New York and her there is vintage pinks, creams, and pale greens. Her table centrepieces will be a mix of tall glass elegant vases overflowing with roses, peony and trailing green amaranthus, and vintage bird cages crammed with seasonal rose, peony, spray rose and lisianthus. Pictures to follow shortly.
