Pure and Simple

We had some unusually warm spring weather whilst setting up for today's wedding at Sundridge Park Manor. The Bride had chosen a simple colour scheme of cream/white and green flowers with champagne and chocolate brown sashes on the chair covers - it all looked really elegant.


I forgot to photograph the bouquets but these were simple too, cream Akito rose hand tied bouquets for the bridesmaids and the same for the Bride only with loops of bear grass inbetween the roses. The two flower girls carried a single Akito rose with cherry ruscus foliage and cream ribbons. Buttonholes were simple - Akito roses with cherry ruscus foliage.


For the reception tables, I provided large arrangements of gerbera, lilies, stocks, veronica and foliage arranged on martini vases and placed on a mirrored plate. The head table/ceremony table arrangement contained the same flowers.



In the ceremony room, two urn arrangements were placed at the end of the aisle and the chairs decorated with white chair covers with alternate bows in champagne and chocolate brown organza.



The staircase was decorated with eucalyptus and cherry ruscus foliage and dotted with gerbera and Akito roses.

Do The Bright Thing!

Yesterday's wedding took place at The Warren in West Wickham. The colour scheme was coral, hot pink, yellow and lime green. A variety of flowers were used, including tulips, roses, craspedia, stocks, snapdragon and solidago.


For the bridal bouquet I used Cherry Brandy roses, coral Ad Rem tulips, hot pink spray roses, hot pink stocks, yellow craspedia and rosemary. The overall effect was really striking.



The bridesmaids carried hand tied bouquets of double white tulips and the flowergirl wore a circlet of gyp.


The buttonholes of Cherry Brandy roses, hypericum berries and rosemary coordinated perfectly.



The bride chose two types of displays for the guest tables, a low arrangement in a mirrored cube vase and a tall arrangement in a fluted vase.
