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.

Table arrangement of yellow craspedia, hypericum berries, pink ranunculus, coral tulips, green button chrysanthemums, yellow solidago, eucalyptus and rosemary

Arrangement of coral tulips, hot pink stocks, orange snapdragon, molucella, leucospermum, solidago and hypericum berries

The head table was dressed with a garland of eucalyptus and cherry ruscus and adorned with pink ranunculus, coral tulips, hypericum berries and yellow snapdragon with an arrangement at either end.

Rose Tinted Dream

On April Fool's Day this year I provided flowers, table arrangements and chair covers for Tracy's wedding at Sundridge Park. The photographer Nicola Spencer sent me some of the official photos....

Tracy's bouquet of wired Aqua roses with Cherry Ruscus and Bear Grass

Vintage glass vases of spray roses, lisianthus, gyp and foliage were placed along the front of the head table with rose petals and pink table crystals.

Crystals vases were also used along the fireplace

Tracy's table arrangements for the guest tables were very contemporary. Martini vases were filled with pink crystals and water with rose petals floating on top.
