Richard and Bryony’s wedding took place in the beautiful church of Saint John the Baptist in Barnack – my first time decorating this church, but hopefully not the last! Given the height of the church, tall displays of flowers in the couple’s chosen colours of dusky pink and cappuccino with cream and ivory were the best way to make the flowers stand out and set the tone for their special day.

As Sara has a design background she was very keen to get the colours for her wedding flowers just right, so that these would inject some soft colour into the otherwise neutral scheme. The bridesmaids wore dresses in a pale cappuccino colour with chair sashes and other decorative elements in taupe. Colours chosen for the flowers were in a range of muted pastel shades including lilac, dusky pink and soft peachy coral with cream and ivory.

Sara and Liam wanted their wedding to have a modern country garden feel, which was the perfect choice for a summer wedding at Orton Hall Hotel, which is set in beautiful grounds – perfect for wandering around and with lots of photo opportunities!

Sara’s beautiful hand tied bouquet included masses of roses in mouth-watering colours, such as lilac, dusky pink, cream and peachy-coral. The dainty flowers of gypsophila gave the bouquet a country garden feel and worked perfectly with the lace detailing on Sara’s dress.

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!

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.
