Last weekend I had the pleasure of doing flowers for an old school friend. Kelly chose a vintage theme of gorgeous muted tones of antique Pinks, Ivory and and Greens. I used gorgeous Ammi and Astrantia to give the bouquet a country feel and the most heavenly scented Ivory Roses and Lilac. 
The buttonholes were wrapped in rustic twine and were a mixture of Ranunculus and Anemone with Wax Flower and Astrantia. 
Here is a picture for Kelly looking gorgeous with her son. 
The table decorations were a mixture of quart pint milk bottles and kilner jars filled with similar flowers which looked amazing teamed with Kelly's beautiful favours and tea lights. 

 
 
Last weekend Sian and Craig got married at Purley Church, and then went on to The Old Mill in Aldermaston for the reception. 
Sian's flower theme was inspired by vintage and cottage garden flowers which produced the most romantic bouquet. Teamed with the vintage lace around the stems, the overall look was simply beautiful. 
Sian had wanted peonies in her bouquet, but sadly these are unavailable at this time of the year, but I managed to source some beautiful old fashioned spray roses in quite a bright pink which looked amazing next the the dusky shade of the antique rose, and then I added the vibrant green of the Alchemilla Mollis to complete the vintage feel. 
Sian looked amazing on her wedding day and I felt so proud to be a small part of it!

The Blue Nigella and scented Sweet Peas used in this bouquet and buttonholes came from a local grower, and they looked so pretty next to the soft pink of the Sweet Avalanche Rose. I always give the groom a special button hole different from the others, usually with something taken from the bridal bouquet. Nigella flower are often said to be the chains that bind people together in love!

Huge congratulations to Max and Matthew Gaw who were married last saturday at Kingston Bagpuize House in Oxfordshire. I went to school with Max back when we were about  12 years old, so it was lovely when she asked me to do the flowers for her special day, and to join them at the ceremony to watch them tie the knot! 

Max knew exactly what she wanted and it was lovely to work with a bride with such inspiring ideas.  Her colour scheme was romantic tones of soft apricot, pinks, ivory and silvery green foliage. Max's attention to detail was amazing, just as an example, Max, her sister and bridesmaid hand-made around 100 tissue paper pom-poms to decorate the marquee - and it looked just beautiful! I can't wait to see the official photographs, but for now you can see a few of the photos on my Facebook page.
