Claire & Jonno's Rustic Barn Wedding

Where do i start with this wedding? There are so many words to describe it that it's difficult to know where to begin , beautiful, cool, rustic, bohemian, country, effortless are just to name a few. Definitely one of my all time favourites in our portfolio. 

Everything about this wedding i truly love, Claire's informal bouquet, the bohemian hair flowers, the natural buttonholes, the flowergirl's hoop, the church flowers, the moss circle centrepieces, the planted table plan. You get the picture, I really do love it , and I am so pleased that this lovely couple chose me to provide their flowers. I hope i did their ideas justice. I could gush all day ( lets face it, this bride is A stunner ), so instead i'll just let the images do the talking.....

Thankyou to both Claire & Jonno's photographer amazing Laura McCluskey for the official photographs & the very talented Annabella Whispers photography, who accompanied me on the morning of the wedding to capture the pre-wedding flower shots. Please check out both of their websites.

Pink and Red Combo

Firstly,  a huge sorry for the lack of blog posts in the last month ! It has been a very busy few months with weddings, we have quite literally been working day and night to provide our beautiful brides with their dream wedding flowers . However fear not , I have a whole file of beautiful images to share with you over the next few weeks to show you all just what we have been up to.

The first on the list are these lovelies which were for a wedding at Tissington Hall . These luscious colours were to complement a navy colour scheme - I really love brides who do something a little bit different ! The bluey undertones of the pinks and reds really suited a dark rich colour.
This was another long distance bride, I met with the lovely Laura who was based in New York, only once before the wedding , however from the regular email chats, I felt i had a clear idea of the style she was looking for . We used lots of summer seasonal flowers, from garden roses to peonies, to stocks to sweet peas in the bouquets . For centrepieces Laura was keen to have low unstructured centrepieces , but to keep in the context of an historical setting we made them appear more elegant than rustic by using a low footed glass vase. I also wanted to take inspiration from old renaissance paintings, so added a few black grapes in also - can you spot them ?  Hope you like the images, thankyou for reading xx
