A Late Summer Wedding for Tilly & Charlie

Posted on in

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.

Early July Wedding at Northbrook Park

Posted on in

After what has been a hugely unpredictable 18 months, we’re enjoying every second of a very busy wedding season and we hope you’re enjoying seeing an insight into what goes on behind the scenes at Fiona Curry Flowers. We’re bringing you another one of our beautiful love stories today on the blog, with Tash and James’ stunning special day at Northbrook Park on Saturday 3rd July 2021. This country house wedding venue in Hampshire really is the epitome of English elegance, with its manicured gardens, ideal location and endless photograph opportunities. It was the perfect backdrop for Tash and James’ big day and we’re over the moon to be able to share a few details about their nuptials, along with gorgeous imagery by Lydia Stamps Photography.

Tash, the bride-to-be, had asked for soft, romantic summery petals for her floral design. Our team at Fiona Curry Flowers created an abundance of lightly scented white peonies and hydrangeas paired with blush roses that flowed throughout the wedding. The bridal bouquet was brimming with the same scented white peonies, hydrangeas and blush roses – the perfect combination for a romantic, summer feel. Tash’s wedding gown was from Boo Bridal Boutique in Hartley Wintney, while the groom and his ushers looked utterly dashing dresses in black tie. The bridesmaids looked divine in mix and match blush gowns with sequin bodices – we wanted them to feel super glam with their pompom bouquets of blousy white hydrangeas, which were finished with pale pink wraps. Tash and James also had three darling little flower girls with floral headbands and flower fairy wands – they looked enchanting!

When it came to Tash and James’ ceremony, we dressed the aisle with tall pedestals and glass vases overflowing with big, blousy summer blooms and trailing foliage – it looked beautiful, and it makes us smile just thinking about it. The space is also home to a grand fireplace, which we elegantly adorned with an end-to-end mass of blooms. The chairs were decorated with gorgeous blousy garlands to tie the couple’s floral theme together. The happy couple envisioned guests being immersed in floral delight from the very moment they arrived at Northbrook Park, so we carefully tied rose heads to ribbons, which gently moved in the light breeze and instantly set the scene for everyone at the reception.

Thank you to the very talented Lydia Stamps Photography for capturing their stunning summer wedding on camera! And thank you to Tash and James for choosing Fiona Curry Flowers, it was a real pleasure to be a part of your celebration, particularly during a very important year for the wedding industry. It was a joy to bring their flower dreams to life – if you’re looking for a Luxury Wedding Florist please do get in touch with us to receive bespoke quote and discover our availability.

Summer Wedding at Coworth Park

Fiona Curry Flowers – Stephanie & Chris

We cannot believe that June has already arrived on our doorsteps, and we are so excited for what is going to be an utterly magical wedding season. To celebrate, we’re bringing you some dreamy wedding inspiration thanks to Stephanie & Chris’ summer celebration at Coworth Park Hotel.

Held on a beautifully warm day in June, Coworth Park Hotel is a magnificent luxury 5-star hotel in Ascot and is part of the grand Dorchester Collection. The setting was the perfect backdrop for Stephanie & Chris’ relaxed yet luxurious celebration, which featured an elegant white and pastel green colour palette. The couple were absolutely lovely to work with and it’s a real pleasure to be able to offer you an insight into their wedding day.

The bride wore a chic Bardot neckline gown and a delicate diamanté belt that sparkled at every opportunity. Stephanie carried an oversized bridal bouquet, filled with scented white Peonies, miniature Roses, as well as Lisianthus with Eucalyptus and olive branches. Her team of ‘maids looked ridiculously gorgeous in soft pale grey gowns, carrying complementing Peony and foliage bouquets, while the flower girl was very sweet with her very own mini bouquet and rose bud flower crown.

Onto the ‘I Do’ moments…

The ceremony aisle was lined with glass vases of candles and loose Olive branches carefully placed through them. The ceremony table was decorated with a simple Eucalyptus garland and miniature white roses, completed with two tall glass vases brimming with abundant arrangements of Hydrangea, Peonies, Eucalyptus and Olive branches on either side of the table.

As a Luxury Wedding Florist, I love working at some of the country’s most sought-after wedding venues and collaborating with couples to really get creative with the spaces on offer. I worked with Stephanie & Chris to style the venue with candles, glasses and loose foliage to really maintain an element of ‘minimalist luxury’. For their wedding breakfast, we adorned the tables with stunning centrepieces, with glass vases overflowing with white Peonies, Hydrangea and miniature roses. Guests really were ‘wowed’ and it is always a joy to hear of everyone’s reactions.

It’s all in the details…

For their place settings, we used a single sprig of Olive branch to tie their stunning floral theme together. It really is the smaller details that can have the most impact and can help bring a couple’s vision to life! Stephanie & Chris’ wedding day was effortlessly elegant and certainly one to remember. The staff at Coworth Park Hotel were an absolute delight to work with and we can’t wait to go back. A huge thank you to the talented Rebecca Goddard Photography for capturing S & C’s gorgeous love story on camera. Here’s to a season of weddings…we can’t wait!
