Retro wedding at PowderMills Hotel Battle

Wow, another favourite and a pleasure to work on this wedding between Madeline & Paul. It all began with seeing the fabulous retro almost carnival style invitation which set the scene. Madeline was making fabulous table runners with lace, peach, taupe, sage and cream ribbon in stripes and needed flowers to suit. I was sent several images of bouquets she liked and the common element was the clash of colour - although fairly muted - and the interesting textures. Very daring and I think it worked beautifully. These are my pictures, taken on phone, so I am sure the 'real' ones will look even better.

Madelines bouquet was made using Osiana peach roses, scented of course, with Jana spray roses, scabious seed pods and the more rusty coloured Hypnose rose, Vendela provided the cream element with another spray rose and texture from the scabious and silver brunia
 A better look at part of the table centres, using hydrangea base, an apricot lisi (looks very pink in this picture! and hypnose rose

 The table centres waiting to go, very retro
 I supplied fresh confetti, made with hydrangea, rose and lisianthus petals
 Madeline supplied some material and lace from her dress to wrap the bouquet which was edged with senecio
 Old teapots and cups near the confetti create a lovely image

 I used small galvanised buckets as chair ends which was tied with the ribbon that matched the table runners. These were delicate and ethereal using spray roses and gyspophelia - just too cute!
This shows the fabulous retro table and place names perfectly and the lovely runners that Madeline made. The room at Powdermills is very light and white hence I decided to use some strong colour in the tables. Peachy perfect.
