Dreaming of Blue.

Friday 2nd September, I had the pleasure of arranging the flowers for Sarah and Danny's Wedding at the Beautiful Bradbourne House.






The very sweet Bride Sarah and her Very Cheeky Groom Danny had choosen blue as the colour scheme, but not one shade- the whole palette from ice blue to navy blue. The couple wanted a glam- american rat pack style vibe with lots of tullie, bows, bountiful roses and centrepieces and a real bang of a wedding! along with the romance factor of course.









The Brideal flowers were understated but really classic and beautiful, masses of white roses and scented silver blue eucalyptus foliage.











The Bridesmaids wore dreeses in each shade of blue (made by the Grooms Mum! very clever Lady) they had oodles of white netting under the skirts for full effect and the back was finished with a large bow.








About 10 am it was already 25 degrees the sky was playing along today for the colour scheme...


Sharon the Wedding co ordinator at Bradbourne had set the ceremony scene at the back of the House. I then attached small cream buckets with blue hydrangeas onto the sides f the chairs to create a pretty aisle.






I had also created bespoke rose petal cones for the lucky guests on the end of each row to throw as the couple came back down the aisle.



Inside the dining room was set and dressed with show stopping centrepeices in martini vases. The powder blue hydrangeas complemented the decor perfectly. I had also used heavily scented white roses to fill the air with perfume.







The top table was dressed with matching mini martini's as I like to call them. SO CUTE




The pretty cake made by a very talented Wedding Guest

The girls nerviously waited for the wedding march around to the ceremony. They went traditonally the USA way- Bridesmaids first.

And so it began.....

And She said "I DO"

A sneaky kiss while nobody was looking...

Then off to celebrate and dance the night away.

The happy Couple Mr and Mrs Garaway....Happy ever after. X

Wedding date at SE10

17th September was the Wedding of Sue and Danny. The venue was the Historic Queens House in Greenwich followed by a reception at the Trafalgar Tavern.

Sue wanted a very simple style bouquet and so I arranged a mass of white hydrangeas, their beauty and simplicity do all the work and when grouped together creates a wonderful effect.

The navy blue colour scheme was brought to life with navy blue berries and silver grey eucalyptus to match the Groom's suit. The stems were bound in midnight blue ribbon and finished with pearls.

The Bridesmaids were wearing midnight blue held mixed hand tied bouquets of ivory roses, white lizzy and germinis (one of Sue's fav flowers) dotte with Sky blue hydrangea and midnight blue berries.

The Groom and his best man had simple and elegant heads of white phalanopsis orchids, fragile....but beautiful!

As I arrived at The Park, the sun was glorious, with a cool little breeze. I just love the September sun. The terrace at the back of the house looked over the park and up the hill to the gorgeous skyline. What a perfect place for canapes and champagne.

Outside, to greet the Bridal party I arranged large displays in urns on white columns, filled with blue delphinium and hydrangeas. The shocking blue against the building looked amazing.

After that, I sped off across the road to the Trafalgar Tavern. Another favourite venue of mine, with the views across the river to the dome.

Sue wanted a bit of a wow factor, to sit with the decor of the room. I went for height...lots of it, which filled the room.

Modern touches included the wrapped stems and "barbed wire" base to the vase. I finished the centrepiece with clusters of hydrangea in silver mirrored votives.

The top table featured a low display of flowers from the theme on globe, filled with the navy wire detail.

The navy theme always seems difficult for flowers, but the shading of blue in the flowers along with the navy details from the stationary, ribbons and chair sashes, pulled together to create a stunning and elegant look.
