Rather a nervous week on account of the wet weather but on Saturday the sun was out in Lamberhurst for a garden wedding. The church was decorated with stocks, the marquee up in the garden, jam jars on tables with sweet peas, peonies, dill and tied onto the fence. The bride carried a divine and delicate bouquet in pure white. Excuse the slightly less than professional shot but wanted to let you have a peek, it was quite Kate in style!

The brides bouquet was made at the very last minute as we used the beautiful lily of the valley which doesnt do well out of water. Such a dainty posy, stunning scent and my new favourite.





Huge English stocks were used as pew ends, these really are far superior in quality to the Dutch ones. Rule Britannia!

Daisy, daisy give me your answer do....




Pitch the most glamourous marquee in a stunning spot over
looking the Ashdown Forest with spectacular views, add fabulous attention to detail from the handmade lamps in the centre of the tables to the lace table cloths and personalised place settings and you have Rebecca and Matts glorious wedding. I was asked to add flowers with a 'just gathered' look and Rebecca has a penchant for daisies. The colours were just so fresh from the delicate fountain grass to the blue of the scabious, creamy majolica roses, astrantia and yellow craspedia.

 I hope they wont mind me sharing these pictures with you, I cant wait to see the professional shots. I was so looking forward to this event. My meetings with Rebecca always included a glass of wine and it was a pleasure working with a bride who was clearly on the same wavelength as me. She said afterwards ' thank you for making it exactly as I wanted without me even having to actually tell you!'
 The marquee was supplied by the Arabian Tent Company and I have to say it had to be seen to be believed. Just stunning with two chillout zones filled with day beds, ottomans and coffee tables and rugs all with the gorgeous screen printing on.

None of the table centres matched, Rebecca supplied assorted vases that she sourced at car boot sales, three per table. This one has fresh green hydrangea limelight, with daisies, craspedia  - fab and very underused I feel - with fountain grass and ever so pretty Majolica roses. Aren't the lace overlays on the table cloths fab? and so nice to have sage tablecloths instead of white
