bright and colourful...

and it rained, and rained, but we filled the beautiful marquee with a mix of pinks, mauves, lilacs, oranges and greens - the mix of colours worked so well and the scent of mint, garden rose and waxflower was just gorgeous.

An English Church wedding...

Before the rain came.... we managed to decorate this beautiful church in High Hurstwood. The brief was make it full with lots of lovely flowers...and this is how it turned out...

Can't wait for the professional ones to come through!

Simplicity at it's best

This weekend's wedding was very minimal, white and simple. Certainly different from what we are usually asked, full and lots of English flowers, the larger the flower arrangements, the better" - so it was nice to do something a little different. Jo had asked for sweet pea to be her only flower used for the table vases - with the use of single lavender stems for placement at the table for the wedding breakfast.

Three days before, I was told there were very few sweet pea available, and not the quantities we wanted in pure white - and what was available was poor quality. So back to the drawing board - and we came up with a few choices, but Jo settled on Eucharis - and what a perfect choice!

Single stems of Eucharis in 120 glass bottles on both end mantels - the scent was heavenly. They were then moved to the wedding breakfast table and filled the central part down the whole table.

Hopefully some pictures to come of this, as lavender hair garlands were made, wrist corsages of delicate white waxflower, and simple buttonholes of the same. Can't wait to see them...
