When Danielle first came to chat with me about the ideas for her Stamford wedding I was thrilled with the idea of working with her, as the wedding was definitely going to be a stylish and beautiful one! Danielle was due to marry Ben at the chapel of his old school – Stamford Boys School – followed by a true country garden reception in the grounds of his parents’ home in Stamford. As Ben is a designer and founder of the Old English Company I knew that this couple’s ideas for their wedding would be very stylish and that it would be important to get the look of their flowers just right.

Danielle and Ben chose a white wedding, with lots of greenery, foliage and white flowers everywhere! Although a traditional wedding colour scheme, the couple added their own modern twist by incorporating silvery-grey foliage, such as eucalyptus and stachys, into the scheme to match the grey and white stationery and the silver-grey of the bridesmaids’ dresses. The results were fabulous!

You can currently see some of the flower designs from this beautiful wedding in my Featured Wedding Gallery, as well as some of the brilliant professional images taken by James Corbett (thanks so much for allowing me to use these).

I so enjoyed working with Georgina to plan the flower designs for her marriage to Florian last summer – she was just so chilled about it all even though she was planning the wedding long-distance as she lives in Germany! The couple chose the fabulous setting of Normanton Church for their wedding ceremony – they were so lucky that they had a beautiful sunny day to take advantage of the gorgeous backdrop provided by Rutland Water for their wedding photos.

I am very grateful to Georgina and Florian for letting me share some of their wedding photos so that you can see how this beautiful wedding was styled, and of course to Matthew Horan who took such fabulous photos. You can see more of the photos and flower designs from this wedding on my current featured wedding gallery – do take a peek…

I just loved the gorgeous mix of vibrant shades that Claire and Matt chose for their wedding flowers – such fun to work with colours like these! The wedding took place in the country setting of St Andrew’s Church in West Deeping – it was a bit touch and go as far as the weather was concerned with the rain pouring down as we were setting up in the morning, but then the clouds cleared and the sun shone down as this lovely couple celebrated their special day with friends and family.

My thanks to Claire and Matt for allowing me to share some of their fabulous photos by Emmie Scott (see more of Emmie's amazing work at www.emmiesweddingphotography.com). Here are a few of the flower designs I created for the wedding and you can currently see more on my featured wedding gallery. I hope they might inspire you to be adventurous with your colour choices too! 

Stevie and Ross kept to a very subtle colour scheme of ivory with pale champagne gold for their summer wedding, but used their flowers to bring in shade of lilac. Their preferred style was elegant and classic, with flowers designs filled with hydrangeas, roses and other gorgeous flowers, but with plenty of foliage to set the flowers off and create a natural effect. It's always a good idea to choose a style to suit the wedding venue and in this case the mix of tall and low centrepieces were in a perfect style to suit the grand dining hall at Orton Hall with its magnificent fireplace.

More of the designs from this beautiful wedding can be seen in my featured wedding gallery. My grateful thanks to Stevie and Ross for letting me show you some of their professional photos, taken by fabulous photographers Sam and Lousie (and thanks to you both for allowing this too!)
