Hot on the heels of last week’s hydrangea blog, here’s another offering that we did for Natalia and Alex on a VERY hot in July. The wedding took place in the Mappin Pavilion at London Zoo and on such a glorious day, the soft blue colour scheme worked perfectly.
Natalia carried a bouquet of white calla lilies with florets of pale blue hydrangea, whilst her bridesmaids carried posies of hydrangea, scabious and flowering mint.
For the ceremony, elegant vases of hyrangeas and delphiniums flanked the registrar’s table.
While the drinks reception took place on the terrace outside the pavilion, the room was transformed for the wedding breakfast. For the flowers, conntemporary met country with sleek fishbowl vases containing informal arrangements of swirled scabious and lisianthus. Perfect summer flowers on a perfect summer day.

We’re All Going To The Zoo!

Last Saturday, which also happened to be one of the hottest days of the year, we were at London Zoo for a gorgeous summer wedding. On such a hot day, it was lovely to be working with some of our favourite summer flowers – peonies, hydrangea and delphinium in cool shades of white, cream and palest green.

The ceremony took place in the Mappin Pavillion, where a pair of simple and elegant white vase arrangements flanked the registrar’s table. To emphasise the aisle, we decorated the chairs with single white peonies and delicate ivy trails.

Following the ceremony, the very elegant wedding party had drinks on the terrace, and by this time the Zoo had closed so everything was wonderfully peaceful. The evening reception took place in the Prince Albert Suite, where the white and green theme continued with stylish arrangements of roses, hydrangea and peonies on tall champagne flute vases. The look was completed with tealights in sliver, mercuried holders.

With such a hot day, there is always the danger that delicate summer flowers could wilt but, we were delighted that everything looked so beautiful. A real testament to the quality of our wonderful suppliers at Covent Garden Market. Of course the proof is always in the pudding, so we can’t wait to see the images of the day captured by the wonderful Lloyd Dobbie.
