Table Centre in White and Cream Palette

A close up of part of the table centre, thlaspi is one of my favourites, delicate, fresh and interesting. This was combined with fresh mint and lavender foliage and pittosporum. The white dill reminds me of cow parsley, stocks provide scent and sense of movement and I got to add spanish moss at the back to surround the storm lantern!

Vintage & Classic combine at Chilston Park

Last weekends wedding was at the beautiful Chilston Park Hotel in Lenham, Kent. Elspeth chose to carry a handtied posy of vintage pinks and Tom wanted classic cream, white and green table centres to surround the storm lanterns. This simple colour palette was wonderful to work with, enabling me to introduce texture, interest and scent. 

I used a base of small leaf pittosporum and added sprigs of fresh mint and lavender foliage, clusters of cream double lisianthus and large heads of white dill.




Superb large cream stocks and freesia provided scent with lots of filler flower including wax flower, astrantia, thlaspi green bell and strands of spanish moss to the back.
It was fantastic to receive an email from Elspeth on Monday morning to thank me for such beautiful flowers

A lovely wedding at Tonbridge Chapel and Hever Castle

A thoroughly enjoyable job and much appreciated by the lovely bride and groom who even texted me the following day to say how wonderful it all looked. Sigh! makes it all worthwhile.
Enjoyed using some fab english foliages- silverleaf is my favourite - for the pedestals at the Chapel and cant wait to get some photos of the bridal party. Will share as soon as I can.
