Lemon Sorbet - Sundridge Park Manor

On Saturday 17th September I was back at Sundridge Park to provide flowers for Sue and Stuart's wedding. Sue wanted an ivory and green colour scheme for her flowers with an accent of pale lemon. We decided to use the pale lemon Creme de la Creme rose along with ivory Akito roses, white double lisianthus, ivory freesia, white bouvardia, lime green hypericum berries and pale green alchemilla mollis throughout the arrangements and bouquets. Stuart wanted a brighter colour scheme so we used Cachet gerberas in the urn arrangements to add a pop of colour.

For Sue's trailing shower bouquet I used both the Akito and Creme de la Creme roses, white lisianthus, ivory freesia, lime hypericum berries and alchemilla mollis. The bridesmaids carried hand tied bouquets of ivory Akito roses with a sprinkling of diamante.

Stuart and the bridal party wore Akito rose buttonholes with foliage.

For the table arrangements I created arrangements of Akito and Creme de la Creme roses, white lisianthus, ivory freesia, lime hypericum berries, alchemilla mollis with eucalyptus which were placed on square mirror vases. The ceremony/head table arrangement contained the same flowers with the addition of white stocks.

I provided two urn arrangements in the ceremony room. These consisted on lime green molucella, white and yellow gladioli, Cachet gerbera, white stocks and foliage. The chairs were dressed with white covers and a sage green organza sash.

I dressed the staircase with ivory organza and provided two arrangements at the bottom of Akito and Creme de la Creme roses, white lisianthus, ivory freesia, lime hypericum berries, alchemilla mollis with eucalyptus.

I loved fresh and summery pastel colour combination of the ivory, lime green and pale lemon.

Golden Elegance

Another of my favourite weddings this year took place in May at the Spa Hotel in Tunbridge Wells. The colour scheme was gold and teal - I don't often get to work with golds and yellows so it was a nice change.

The bride, Nicole, carried a mixed hand tied bouquet of gold 'Sphinx' roses, gold and ivory freesia, ivory 'Akito' roses, tanacetum and mini pittosporum bound with ivory ribbon.


The bridesmaids carried smaller versions bound with teal ribbon.

The ceremony took place in the beautiful orangery. I created an arrangement for the ceremony table along with two urn arrangements placed either side, which were later moved into the reception room.

For the table arrangement I used gold 'Cachet' gerbera, gold 'Sphinx' roses, ivory 'Akito' roses and ivory Oriental lilies along with trailing cherry ruscus foliage and ivory Singapore orchids.


In the urns I used the same 'Cachet' gerbera along with ivory and gold gladioli, ivory stocks, ivory Oriental lilies and september along with foxtail foliage.

The table arrangements for the reception were placed on Martini vases and contained the 'Cachet' gerberas, 'Sphinx' roses, the Oriental lilies and stocks finished off with the bushy foxtail foliage and hard ruscus. A very elegant affair!
