Kit and Darren’s Athelhampton Wedding – with Linus Moran Photography

WARNING: A beautiful bouquet was destroyed in the making of these pictures by Linus Moran Photography.

Big thanks to Linus for letting me share these from Kit and Darren’s gorgeous wedding in May. The whole day had a sophisticated vintage feel, suiting the historical venue perfectly, and we just loved these colours!

The bridal flowers included roses, stocks and peonies… a heavenly looking combination which smelled heavenly too.

The decorations for the ceremony and reception continued the colour scheme and spread more of that wonderful scent through the whole day…

Claire & Robin’s New Forest Wedding – with Martin Beddall Photography

Claire and Robin were married at the end of the Summer, in a sunny haze of outdoorsy goodness. I loved the low-key, classic yet fashionable style of the whole day, and the fact that Claire’s parents have a stunning large garden (with lake!) to host the reception was wonderful.

The flowers were a mix of seasonal, english garden flowers such as dahlias, roses, delphiniums, daisies and mint, with fragrant herbs and eucalyptus. The loose and casual style looked just right with the country surroundings.

And when the bride calls you to say she took her bouquet on honeymoon because she couldn’t bear to leave it behind, you know she loved it!

Big thanks to Martin Beddall for sending over these gorgeous pictures from the day. You captured the relaxed and happy atmosphere so beautifully…

Jen & Stephen’s Trafalgar Park Wedding – with Claire Penn Photography

I just received one of the best emails ever! Pro pics from Jen and Stephen’s glorious wedding last year, by the amazingly talented Claire Penn. Claire deserves some major props for her work (and gets them- she was recently named one of Rangefinders 30 rising stars of wedding photography IN THE WORLD). I totally get why Jen and Stephen transported her way down-country to photograph their day and the results are simply breath-taking.

It was the second lot of flowers I made for Jen and Stephen (for no.2 of their three weddings across two continents!), and I felt very lucky to work with them again, especially since Jen is such a big flower fan. I won’t go through all the usual stuff about how we picked out colours and chose the flowers this time because I think the photographs just say it all. It was stunning. Enjoy…

A little trip to Devon – with Caroline Hodges Flowers

caroline-hodges-flowers-9

In mid July I made my way down to the darkest (not that dark actually) depths of South Devon to visit a fellow florist who I used to work with, the very talented Caroline Hodges. She had a big weekend of weddings and was sporting a rather large 7 month baby bump, so she asked me to lend a hand. Luckily I had a quiet(ish) week, so I was more than happy to head west.

It was a little strange at first working in someone else’s studio, but pretty great all the same, and boy did we make up a lot of flowers!

Here’s a little selection of what we made for just one of the gorgeous weddings…
