Wedding of Amanda and Merrill

I’m delighted to be posting further on the wedding of Amanda and Merrill which took place on a snowy day in December. The couple were a joy to work with and their vision never faltered from start to finish as they set out (with our help) to plan an unforgettably elegant and grand occasion.

It was important to Amanda and Merrill to design a really special marriage ceremony and lots of attention was paid to each aspect of the ceremony to thrill and warm the hearts of their guests in everyway from sight to smell to sound.

There was a stunning and luscious central arch built painstakingly by the talented team at Hybrid Flowers accompanied by other freestanding and ledge-top arrangements elegantly lined up along the aisle.

The Kingdom Choir were a huge hit as they sung Amanda in to ‘Songbird’, and hailed the happy couple to ‘Signed, Sealed, Delivered’ naturally!

A symbolic unity candle was lit by the couple from individual candles lit by both the bride and groom’s mothers to signify the coming together of two familes into one.

Flowers and elegant detailing were a huge part of this warm winter wedding and we’ll show much more on that in a future post.

Wedding of Lisa & Carlos

We thought it would be good to feature some of our successes and although this wedding features on our website already, it’s been much admired of late as we head for peak summer and recently featured in ‘Wedding’ magazine under their real weddings section so we thought why not write a little on our blog too?

The Dairy at Waddesdon Manor, Buckinghamshire provided the understated and beautiful location for the day’s celebrations with the added benefit of an outdoor pavilion which the heartfelt ceremony took place under.

Guests were treated to refreshing Mojitos, which signaled the start of a Cuban inspired day complete with acoustic band and Cuban tapas and casseroled curried kid featured on the menu.

The colour scheme was equally dramatic, unconventional but stunning; hot pink and lime green was the name of the game and this was carried through from prom-style bridesmaids dresses to the vibrant flower palette as well as hand-made stunning table stationery. Bridal favours were hand-chosen glass beads purchased in Italy by Lisa. Everything looked fresh, vibrant and fun.

Another unique touch was the use of a guest wishing tree. Lisa and Carlos were touched by a pomegranate tree exhibition on a holiday together and decided to hand-make pomegranate cards for guests to leave their own personal message and attach to a tree. The wedding cake was also designed to reflect the pomegranate and its symbolism.

A wonderful occasion and a real privilege to work on. Thank you to Pippa Mackenzie for capturing things so beautifully.
