A simple, sophisticated bridal bouquet of massed ingredients - coffee roses, unripened blackberries, mauve-grey limonium, fluffy grasses and pops of red from three Tagetes ‘Burning Embers’.
Buttonholes for the boys - Nandina foliage tipped with red, textural berries from a flowering dogwood tree, blackberries (again!) and grasses.
And another - this time pale yellow ‘Imogen’ roses against a backdrop of the palest blue clematis, mustard fennel stars, creamy Hydrangea and tiny clusters of Thalictrum delavayi.
A delicate, textural flower crown of dried limonium, everlasting flowers and quaking grass tied with a silk ribbon.
Farnham Castle
The brief for this wedding at Farnham Castle was ‘whimsical garden style’ with lots of autumnal foliage.
The brief for this wedding at Farnham Castle was ‘whimsical garden style’ with lots of autumnal foliage.
For the ceremony, two large urns with tall leafy branches and creamy dahlias were arranged at the end of an aisle of asters and perennial grasses.
At the centre of the reception tables stood a footed centrepiece with garden flowers and foliage in caramel, rusty orange and white.
The bride’s bouquet included rudbeckia, zinnias, dahlias and garden roses with tiny aster and hydrangea flowers for added texture.
Sri Lankan heritage
The bride’s bouquet was made up of softer tones in cream, peach and coffee with tiny pops of pale blue and mustard.
The brief for this wedding was ‘fun and colourful’, to reflect the bride and groom’s Sri Lankan heritage.
The bride’s bouquet was made up of softer tones in cream, peach and coffee with tiny pops of pale blue and mustard.
We used lots of peppery scented marigolds, dahlias in shades of deep orange and spicy red and hot pink chrysanthemums.
The aisle was lined with grouped vessels in varying sizes and colour blocks for a bright, modern look.
Bouquets for brides
SPRING MEETS SUMMER | A moment in time that sings of hope - the first sweet peas blooming as the tulips come to an end. This allows for the creation of effortlessly feminine and romantic bouquets; blowsy petals, ruffles, tendrils and all.

MASSED | Sometimes simple is best - a combination of three ingredients really allows each to stand out - pale intricate Omphalodes linifolia, impossibly fluffy Pennisetum villosum and opium poppy heads make for a textural summer bouquet.
A ROSE BY ANY OTHER NAME | There is a subtle dark to light gradation in this bouquet, but really all the attention is taken by the honey-centred ‘Julia’s Rose’ in the middle. Around the edges are sprinkled sprigs of scented calamint and hydrangea.
CHOCOLATE & LEMONADE | This bouquet doesn’t contain any ‘focal’ flowers, more a mass of ‘small faces’ - from pom pom dahlias to China asters and lots of pretty cosmos - ‘Apricot Lemonade’ and 'Chocolate’.
