Following straight on from our previous cherry blossom extravaganza, we were soon off to The Walled Garden, in the ruins of Cowdray Park in West Sussex for the wedding of Gemma and Ben. Using a classic palette of white and green, this lovely design reflected the bride’s love of elegant informality for the day. White roses, snapdragons, sweet peas and ivy dressed wrought iron candle stands, candelabra and chair backs for the ceremony and reception in the Castle Room.

Bunches of snapdragons made pretty chair decorations for the ceremony.

The rustic candelabra on the tables suited the neutral decor of the Castle Room perfectly for the intimate recpetion and reflected the wonderful garden for which this lovely venue is known.

Christmas Wedding

Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008

Welcome to our last blog for 2008. We said last week that this would be a Christmas one; and that was certainly the theme for this wedding, which took place at the walled garden at Cowdray in West Sussex last Saturday. Pine, holly, larch and fragrant myrtle were the order of the day for this festive celebration. Tables were dressed with rings of rich seasonal foliages and berries which also made beautiful gifts for guests afterwards.
Windowsills were dressed with pine, holly and candles for winter warmth and a white chocolate helter skelter cake added that touch of snow! We wish you all a very happy and peaceful Christmas and look forward to sharing more of our work with you in the New Year.

A Secret Garden

If you’ve ever dreamt of being in a garden that seems to be set apart from the rest of the world. Where the only sound you hear is the soft humming of bees on vast beds of lavender and the soft crunch of gravel underfoot. Where a tabby cat with no name follows silkily behind you as you stroll along paths that seem to have been there for centuries, then you must be in The Walled Garden at Cowdray. http://www.walledgardencowdray.co.uk/ Only three years old, this paradise has been created within the elizabethan walls next to the ruins of Cowdray Castle. This gorgeous venue in West Sussex is fast becoming the place to hold any event, from a wedding for 400 to an intimate party for 50.

We discovered The Walled Garden recently and were delighted to provide the flowers for a summer lunch party, held in the beautifully restrained Castle Room. Taking the garden as our theme, we used the best of seasonal english flowers including, scabious, jasmine, clematis, veronica and hydrangea to create delightfully informal table arrangements.
