The Wedding of Anna and Russ

September 3, 2010

Friday, September 3rd, 2010

Anna & Russ‘ beautiful wedding at Fulham Palace is featured in the October/November issue of Wedding Flowers, out now. I have to say that the flower arrangements, by Euphoric Flowers, were definitely some of the prettiest I’ve ever seen. Looking at pictures from this wedding now makes me nostalgic about the start of the summer, how did it go past us so quickly??To say we that we are happy would be an understatement! We’ve only just found out that one of our favourite weddings this year has been featured in Wedding Flowers Magazine. These glorious images were captured by the amazingly talented Marianne Taylor and, her comments at the top of this post sum up why we what we do, because we love what we do!

Vintage Spring Wedding

May 12, 2010

Wednesday, May 12th, 2010

Every year we want to do a wedding with masses of double pink cherry blossom. Some years, it’s too cold or too warm and we’re either too early or too late! A couple of weeks ago however, we were spot on when we supplied the flowers for the wedding of Anna and Russ at Fulham Palace in West london.

Soft pink roses, muscari, florets of guelder and stocks made very pretty buttonholes.

The theme was “Vintage Tea Party” and cherry blossom was a must have! With some of our favourite spring and early summer flowers also being used including, lily of the valley, sweet peas, muscari, freesias, foxgloves, stocks, delphiniums and guelder, the result looked good enough to eat!
For the afternoon reception we created a different look for each table, using mis-matched vases, glassware and vintage cups and saucers. Childhood memories of our grandmothers’ crockery and those little pressed glass vases from dressing table sets came flooding back.
With so many flowers in the room, we thought it all looked perfect but, as you can see the front of the palace is covered with wisteria, which was the icing on the cake…..oh, and there was plenty of that too!

Vintage Wedding Flowers

Last weekend we ventured East for the wedding of Katherine and Elliott. The wedding ceremony was held at the Chapel of St Peter Ad Vincula within the walls of the Tower of London, followed by a reception at one of London’s hidden gems, Wiltons Music Hall. The only surviving grand victorian music hall in the world, Wiltons is on the list of the most endangered buildings in the country and is literally crumbling away. So we were delighted to be able to work at this most historic of venues. Gorgeous lollipop bay trees flanked the main stairs which were garlanded with ivy trails and fairy lights and this theme continued into the main auditorium creating a wonderful twinkly atmosphere.In keeping with the surroundings, the wedding flowers had a distinctly vintage feel, with distressed terracotta pots, scented herbs and soft antique pink roses decorating the tables downstairs. Lavish urns filled with chocolate brown cotinus, pink larkspur, aromatic waxflower, roses and trailing ivy, were placed in the gallery upstairs for the drinks reception. Once again, our thanks go out to Lester Gethings from Number 10 Wedding Design & Management who worked tirelessly throughout the day to help us create such a memorable event. The bride’s father is a patron of Wiltons, and I am sure we are not alone in wanting to promote and save this wonderful building for all to enjoy.

Rose and Herb Wedding Flowers

There seems to be a real demand for garden roses this year, so we were delighted when Sally and Dominic asked us to supply their wedding flowers last week at Stoke Place in Buckinghamshire. This beautiful georgian venue was hired exclusively for the weekend, with Sally and Dominic wanting a relaxed house party atmosphere for the event. Garden roses in soft pastel colours, with hydrangeas and herbs in galvanised pots made perfect table arangements.A towering macaroon wedding cake, in flavours of rose and pistachio from Laduree added sophisticated glamour.Sally carried a trailing bouquet of ice cream coloured roses, decorated with pearls and diamante, and the whole day was co-ordinated by Kelly Chandler from The Bespoke Wedding Company.

Mayfair in May

May 13, 2009

Wednesday, May 13th, 2009

On a perfect May morning, our destination was the beautiful Grosvenor Chapel in Mayfair for the wedding of Hannah and Luke. Hannah had chosen a soft vintage palette of palest pink and cream with touches of sage green for this smart town wedding. Following the ceremony, the entire wedding party strolled the short distance to Dartmouth House for the wedding reception which was held in the Long Drawing Room of this grand London mansion.A lavish urn arrangement at the top of the magnificent staircase was filled with a mass of scented early summer blooms including lilies, roses, stocks and delicate soloman’s seal. This set the tone for the table decorations of alternating high and low arrangements. We returned at midnight to find the bride and groom, who were the last to leave, walking hand in hand into the distance. We think they had a good time!!

Ham and Noodles

October 9, 2008

Thursday, October 9th, 2008

This wedding literally landed on our doorstep one day when the bride knocked on our door asking us if we had a kettle! A strange request, particularly as she needed hot water to add to her pot noodle! To cut a long story short, the lady in question was working next door to our studio. As her noodles were in soak, we chatted about flowers and it turned out that she was getting married in two weeks time and had not decided on a florist. We quickly convinced her to use us!

The venue was Ham Polo Club near Richmond, Surrey, and to complement the wonderful living grapevine inside the permanent marquee, we used garden hydrangea and antique pink roses for a vintage feel. A further coincidence was that the lovely Lloyd Dobbie a friend of Euphoric, was the photographer, so the bride was in safe hands! If she hadn’t decided on noodles for lunch, we would never have got the job!!
