so exciting...

i have been tweeted... is that the correct term? i have only just got used to Facebook, and now a new thingy to try! I was delighted to hear from Sarah who married in June and kindly forwarded on some amazing shots of the wedding flowers... enjoy! and thank you SO much Sarah xx

Sarah got married at Langton Church, and then had her reception at Buckhurst Park - the most romantic and wonderful venue. Thank you also to Damian Bailey for the wonderful photography.

A wet day in Wadhurst

Oh how the rain just came down on Friday, and we really did feel for the bride. But Saturday was certainly an improvement, not perfect, but a relief to see some sunshine during the day (and a rainbow I'm told on the pathway leading up to the wedding breakfast - how perfect). Amy went for an English garden theme (the gardens were magnicfient, thanks to Sue and Ron who look after them with such care and attention) and the marquee looked beautiful with hesian runners on the tables, and a rather unusual seating area of hay bales which looked so enticing after a heavy day's work! Some pictures for now...

overflowing pots of hydrangea, peony, rose and gyp - so pretty

a nice old milk churn, in keeping with the country style

more English country weddings...

well it's certainly been a busy few weeks gone by, and June looks to be the busiest month for weddings here in Kent. Last weekend saw us at the wonderful and most beautiful Buckhurst Park near Withyham, just outside Groombridge. The bride (the lovely Sarah) looked fabulous and we have had a sneak preview at at her professional photographs - amazing! I will post some of them when i have begged Mr Damian Bailey for a few pics. In the meantime, here are some less professional ones from moi....

The church benches were lined with cream jugs, overflowing with sweet smelling peonie, freesia and blue scabious

bird cages

well they are certainly in demand again this season for summer weddings. Here we crammed them full of sweet smelling peonies, roses, freesia, and pretty gyp to fill around the edges. They were used as table centrepieces, alongside tall silver candelabra - the room looked beautiful.

at each end of the room we decorated the mantelpieces with seasonal flowers incuding peony, hydrangea and lots of trailing foliage and eucalyptus. The bride and groom wanted to include the letters of love in the design - it looked so good with the mirror reflecting behind it.

sugar pinks and creams

last weeks wedding was a lovely soft pink and vintage theme at the lovely Hotel du Vin. The bride carried a bouquet of white rose, bouvardia and white hydrangea. It looked so lovely and fresh.

Bridesmaids had posies of soft sugar pink and cream roses - so pretty.

and some more of that wedding

The table centrepieces were mirrored fish bowls overflowing with hydrangea and viburnham snowball, with little clusters of pretty gyp to fill those gaps. The bridesmaids posies were lilac rose with bouvardia and eucalyptus.

lots of weddings done, and still lots to do....

some gorgeous blooms are around at the moment. Last weeks wedding saw us at a private castle in Kent, just beautiful, and the bride looked stunning. her bouquet was delicate and filled with lily of the valley, stephonosis, and freesia amongst muted tones of rose and bouvardia - the scent was just amazing! The church was full of peony scent, even her lovely mother, Suzanne, noticed the scent and the flowers - and she was on another planet at that point (she tells me!)

The cake was rammed full with pretty gyp, vintage pink rose and spray roses. The cake maker did a magnificant job with the flowers, it took ages!

Thank you Anita for doing just a wonderful job, you clever lady.
