The wedding of Lucy and Steven

We are delighted to be finally posting about our incredibly busy summer this year.  Over the next few weeks we’ll be posting on some of our wedding work, which we hope you enjoy! We certainly love looking back on all the detail that was so long in the planning and gone in a flash!

First up is the wedding of Lucy and Steven which took place at the hidden gem that is Warren House in Kingston Upon Thames, Surrey.

Warren House

Lucy and Steven were self-confessed wedding veterans who felt  themselves older than the average (they don’t look it though) and therefore seeking a day that was very “them” with a lack of fluff and the unnecessary they focused on what mattered and we think we all pulled off a stylish, meaningful and above all joyful celebration.

Lucy got ready at home with her two  young children in toe (brave lady) and still managed to arrive looking sensational. She had set her heart on a “bit of cheese” by way of  a classic white limo and that’s what she had.

As you can see Lucy decided to turn tradition on its head and she wore a stunning platinum silk gown by Australian designer Mariana Hardwick  whilst her bridesmaids wore white!

Platinum silver was tied with whites and cool blues all the way through the wedding design and the gathered brooch detail on Lucy’s dress was copied in the cake detailing. Lucy loves eucalyptus so that was cleverly incorporated with the most stunning white orchids. The chandelier motif on the wedding stationery and piping on the cake was inspired by the beautiful chandeliers and glimmering mirrors in the ballroom where the wedding vows were exchanged.  

The day included lots of musical talent and entertainment including string sensation Asteria Strings, close-up magic by Dan Alexander, caricatures by Soozi and the most moving guitar and vocal solo by the groom’s daughter, Jenny.  The stylish feel continued in the “conference room” which was transformed into virtual marquee created for the evening party complete with cool blue uplighting, white bench and silver poseur table seating.  Much fun was had as the guests partied into the night.

Civil partnership of David and Martin

We had the most wonderful email arrive recently which has prompted this post and brought a huge smile to our faces.

‘Hi, it’s our anniversary today! A year. I’ve just watched our video again and felt compelled to mail you to say thank you again! Even after a year! You did such a beautiful job and made everything seamless and all so easy!

Much love, David & Martin x

It’s so lovely to be remembered after time has passed and what a day it was.

David and Martin are both involved in the musicial theatre world in different ways and the day reflected this at every turn. The order of service took the form of a theatre programme and introduced the most emotional and stunning ceremony complete with performances from friends who are regular West End musical professionals.

Here are the lovely team of super elegant usherettes, each close friends of the couple.

The table settings were simple white and silver and incredibly stylish with the use of the most realistic “fake” flowers ever.

And the party really started as the light faded. The Conservatory at Syon Park was lit beautifully and the grooms performed their first dance in true musical theatre style incorporating a first dance and song from ‘La Cage aux Folles’. An unforgettable day and one we were delighted to play a small part in.

Your day your way

We were thrilled recently to learn that one of our 2008 weddings was featured in the December/January 2010 issue of the glossy flower mag, Wedding Flowers.  The nuptials of Noor and Alan feature under ‘Autumnal Elegance’ within the issue.  Here’s the cover to look out for!

Wedding of Sonia and Will

As the Christmas music is belting out and the waft of our White Company Winter candle sets us in the toasty festive spirit in the Bespoke office, it feels strange to be reviewing photos of a glorious late summers day wedding for our blog.

But we have wanted to share some images of the wedding of Sonia and Will we were privileged to be involved with, so here goes:

 SW 170

This was very much a quintessential “Oxford” occasion with the marriage ceremony taking place at the University Church of St Mary the Virgin.

SW 237

 And the reception was a very elegant and stylish affair taking place in one of  Oxfordshire’s most welcoming, homely but grand Stately Homes.  One of our favourite images is of Sonia and Will framed in the grand doorway leading to the terrace looking over their grounds for the day!

SW 469

SW 800

 The colour scheme for the wedding was a fresh yet delicate blend which worked beautifully within the classic setting. We loved the choice of long banqueting style tables for the wedding breakfast which are proving very popular at the moment.

SW 423

Thanks to Brown and Co for the use of the images from the wedding day.  Thanks also to Eden Flowers for the stunning blooms.  And the seating plan was all the work of Sonia and Will themselves!
