A Penshurst Wedding

A decoration off the lantern at Penshurst Church, scented with heavenly tuberose, oriental lilies, large roses and stocks. A perfect October day with morning mist clearing to bright sunshine.

The bride chose an informal mix in classic white. I used eucharis lilies, snowberry, tuberose, majolica roses with mimosa and rosemary.

Pomanders & Circlets

Lovely little rose and lavender pomanders for some seriously cute flowergirls, here they are hanging ready to go, havent got the pictures from the day - yet.

Used my favourite spray rose - majolica

The circlets were inspired by Kate Moss's wedding, very informal and with ribbon twined around. I love this effect

Floral Topiary Delights

my little topiary

I'd been longing for the opportunity to make one of these delightful topiary trees and this is just the right time of year for it, actually kicking myself I didnt do it a month ago when I would have added tiny cute green acorns - still, the hypericum, crab apples, spanish moss et al works a treat, I would have loved to keep this (and make more) for the hall table, kitchen dresser, you get the idea. This one went to Vanity Fair Beauty for their reception desk.

Frivolous and Flirty

Ok, am a bit late with this one, the venue was the fabulous Preston Court in Canterbury. Enjoy the glorious photography by Emma Case and it was my pleasure to work with Tiffany of Grant Riley Weddings

Bridal bouquet of roses, peonies, scabious, astilbe with sweetpeas and sage.

 Yes! a fairground ride at Preston Court

 Fab shoes, petticoat and the pink cadillac. Wedding was organised by the lovely Tiffany Grant-Riley.

Interior shot of the barn showing one of the two stunning organs at the end.

 The bridesmaids, no holding back here, I took the pale colours out of the bridal bouquet and we added zingy orange roses and zinnias in hot pink and orange. Hurray for zinnias, a much underrated summer flower.

The organ provided the backdrop for the ceremony. Simply stunning and even this was plan B as unfortunately it was a showery day. Had it been sunny Sarah and Ben would have been married on a tiny island under a gazebo with their guests looking on from the edge.


You gotta admit - a pretty darn gorgeous day
