Michael & Katie

Michael and Katie at Northbrook Park

Having been postponed from the previous year, it’s a real pleasure to be finally able to share Michael and Katie’s wedding day at Northbrook Park with you. This wonderfully relaxed couple had the most fun from start to finish, with just the odd English shower here and there but it certainly didn’t dampen their spirits! In fact, the couple were so relieved and overjoyed to say, ‘I Do’ after waiting so patiently, that the atmosphere at their Northbrook Park wedding was simply electric!

Offering luxury floral design across Hampshire, London and beyond, I love nothing more than getting to know my couples, their personalities and everything that is truly important to them. Katie and her bridesmaids are dancers and actresses performing in many West End productions, while the bride also dances with The English National Ballet. The guests spoiled the groom with a standing ovation for attempting the first dance! It’s the personal touches like this that really do add the wow-factor to a wedding.

 

As their luxury wedding florist, I designed a romantic and feminine wedding that was still effortlessly understated. We used a stunning selection of ivory blooms and touches of palest blue, so that Northbrook Park was abundant with fresh and inspiring blooms. Katie’s bridal bouquet was a real show-stopper, opting for an open and natural design, brimming with ivory roses, spray roses and subtle hints of palest blue delphinium and eucalyptus foliage. Katie and Michael maintained the ‘Something Blue’ colour scheme throughout the rest of their celebration, from the bridesmaid gowns right through to the beautiful tablecloths. The bridal party held bouquets that were smaller versions of Katie’s, while the flower girls had ivory and soft blue flowers adorned in their hairstyles. Their aisle style was just exquisite and the bridal party looked like an utter vision.

I adore working at Northbrook Park, a Grade II listed, eighteenth-century manor house in Surrey. The venue offers an array of stunning spaces, including the Vine Room and the Orangery. Within this enchanting Hampshire wedding venue includes a statement fireplace that I fully dressed with a delectable combination of hydrangeas, roses, delphiniums and falling eucalyptus branches. We then moved this to fill the top table for the reception – a fabulous example of how you can re-use the flowers throughout your entire wedding day. Katie and Mike wanted to decorate the room with tall table centrepieces of glass vases and dreamy decorations in ivory and pale blue. Antique golden cutlery and our vintage gold tea lights complemented the tablescapes, adding a dash of luxury to their gorgeous wedding!

A Late Summer Wedding for Tilly & Charlie

Set amongst the English countryside, you’ll find Wotton House, a wedding venue boasting magnificent Italian renaissance gardens. The setting is elegantly engulfed in nature, adorned with Roman temples, and topped off with the peaceful River Tillingbourne flowing through the grounds. Tilly and Charlie couldn’t have chosen a more romantic backdrop for their wedding in September 2022 and it was a pleasure to work with this couple to provide them with luxury florals.

The couple were looking for the essence of classical romance for their wedding flowers, choosing fragrant white blooms that were overflowing with eucalyptus and olive foliage, a subtle nod to the heritage of the venue. Greeting the bride and her bridesmaids in the room where they gathered to get ready for this perfect day, I couldn’t help but enjoy the delicate fragrance of all the fresh flowers, as well as the Mimosa and Cardamom Jo Malone candles that were setting the tone for the day. Nothing brings me more joy than seeing my brides’ reactions to their wedding flowers, and Tilly’s was certainly no exception.

Tilly chose a stunning and opulent design for her bouquet of long-stemmed white roses, complemented by her bridesmaids’ bouquets, which had the addition of golden fern entwined adding a touch of luxe to their wedding flowers.  Wearing an off the shoulder gown called ‘Jess’ by Eva Lendel, a Ukranian designer, bought through the amazing Ellie Sanderson team, Tilly’s bouquet was the perfect final touch to her bridal attire. A pair of vintage 1977 Chanel earrings, gifted by her groom-to-be, completed her aisle style, ready to make her entrance at the ceremony.

Wotton House is renowned for hosting stunning ceremonies in their Old Library, with its spectacular high ceilings, marble fireplace and 17th Century pillars. Tilly and Charlie had one of the most memorable ceremonies imaginable, where we dressed the venue with tall translucent vases brimming with ivory hydrangeas, Mallows and white roses engulfed in green foliage. Overhead, fairy lights twinkled as Tilly walked down the aisle, where a warm glow and undeniable feeling of love filled the room. A matching flower piece gracefully adorned their ceremony table, effortlessly tying their floral theme together.

Walking into their reception in the Evelyn Suite surrounded by their favourite people, Charlie and Tilly chose to carefully coordinate their table centrepieces to align with the rest of the floral design. The flowers chosen by the couple were the perfect fit for the suite, working alongside their on-the-day stationery by Bewilderly that was placed on the tables for guests to enjoy. Candles softly flickered next to the abundance of flowers, and it was clear to see that the lavish décor of the suite was everything the couple had hoped for.

I’ll never tire of looking back at Tilly and Charlie’s wonderful wedding day at Wotton House, it was an honour to bring their floral visions to life through romantic wedding flowers.
