back at the hotel...

more glorious weddings at the wonderful Hotel du Vin. Last Saturday Eve chose shades of orange with silver brunia and cream roses. A glorious day and the sun shone on the pretty garden just before the ceremony - perfect!

English Dahlia's which were very "locally" grown - in shades of burnt orange and darkest black-red

Peach roses of the "wedding rose" variety - a very soft peach colour that worked perfectly with the silver and dark red tones.

some rather good shots at Hotel du Vin

just received some lovely shots by the rather good David Burke Photography. Nicola's wedding at Hotel du Vin a few weeks ago...








A wedding at Hendall Manor Barns

Today we were back at the beautiful Hendall Manor Barns for the wedding of Nicola & Greg. Her colour scheme was a soft pink, cream, ivory and pale greens. We used amazing scents in the roses, and tuberosa, as well as some late summer stocks.

A special dinner

A lovely couple celebrated birthdays last weekend and had a wonderful evening dinner at the gorgeous Hotel du Vin in the Havanna Room. The table was decorated with trailing long flower arrangements and looked beautiful centrally placed on the table. Colours of palest blue, pinks, lilacs, ivory and greens worked well, using peonies, roses, stocks, delphinium, eryngium and echinops.






a bit of everything...

loved making this bouquet - a real vibrant mix of all summer colours - a heavy flower content including achillea, rose, spray rose, waxflower, senecio, dahlia, sedum, veronica and astilbe.




today at the castle

Todays wedding was at the beautiful Wadhurst Castle. Flowers were peonies, rose, spray rose, delphininium, hydrangea and stocks. The grounds looked amazing, perfect lavenders lining the gazebo for the ceremony outside today.

true english country wedding today...

Absolutely loved todays weddings. The flowers and colours were truly English, and seasonal flowers at their best! Anna married at Brenchley Church followed by a reception at the family home back in Lamberhurst. Her colours were lilacs, soft pinks, ivory, creams and shades of darker blue for the reception.
