Here are the pictures of a beautiful summer wedding we worked on from last year, featured in the latest Wedding Flowers Magazine, together with a dramatic red photo shoot.
We are delighted to announce that Euphoric has been featured not just once, but twice in the latest issue of Wedding Flowers Magazine. The beautiful summer wedding of Julie and Dan, which took place last May and, a two page spread in the flower gallery. Do take a look and enjoy!
The wedding of Robyn and Billy at Highclere Castle last week was a truly transatlantic affair. With the couple based in America, this week long celebration was superbly planned by one of our favourite wedding planners, Lester Gethings from No.10 Wedding Design & Management, who co-ordinated a truly spectacular event. Flowers were an extremely important element of this wedding and, it was a pleasure to work with such a vibrant colour palette of purple, red, orange and zesty lime green. As the bride said, 'I want the colours to really pop!!'
The saloon of Lord and Lady Carnarvon's home took centre stage for the wedding ceremony, where the bride and groom exchanged their vows in front of the magnificent stone fireplace, flanked with lavish urns of purple delphinium, rich red peonies, magenta 'sumatra' scented lilies and deep violet hydrangea. The bride made her entrance down the grand staircase also flanked with urn arrangements, and carried a very glamorous trailing bouquet of dark pink phalaenopsis orchids, whilst her bridesmaids, wearing full length aubergine silk gowns, carried posies of velvety 'grand prix' roses.
The drinks reception was held on the south lawn of the castle with breathtaking views across the estate. Here on the occasional tables we placed mini moss topiary trees in antique pots tied with sumptuous purple ribbon. Following champagne and canapes, the guests entered the richly decorated library for the wedding breakfast.
Against a backdrop of exquisite purple table linen and shimmering crystal, tall and lavish arrangements on mirror plates adorned the centre of each table, accessorised with mercuried silver votives.
The gorgeous four tiered wedding cake by Peggy Porschen which we decorated with heads of deep pink phalaenopsis orchids was pin spot to highlight the iced champagne bubbles on each tier.
We would have loved to have stayed to enjoy the evening entertainment which included a jazz band, singing waiters and fireworks at midnight, but we were thoroughly exhausted and drove back down the M4 feeling weary, but confident we had another Euphoric Triumph!!!!!

We are so thrilled for our good friend Jane Brockbank, who along with Angus Thompson has won a Gold medal at The Chelsea Flower Show this year. Their beautiful garden 'Nature Ascending' is a very deserved winner and a great inspiration to us mere florists!! Victoria studied Garden Design with Jane way back in 1999 and whilst she struggled with her planting plans, Jane was always the one to watch. We are very proud of her and send her all our best wishes.
Back in February we blogged about the Flowers we supplied for one of the stands at The Designer Wedding Show; The Dairy at Waddesdon Manor. We were delighted then to be asked to create the arrangements for a party last week at Waddesdon, hosted by Lord Rothschild. The Dairy originally housed Waddesdon's prize winning cows but is now the perfect venue for a party or wedding. With a terrace magically positioned next to a beautiful lake, this really is the most perfect place to get married. For last weeks party, which included a drinks reception and formal dinner, blue was the order of the day. We filled the enormous classical urn in the conservatory with hydrangeas, delphiniums, molucella, palms and ivy trails and surounded the base with it's very own garland.
Window sills were dressed with cube vases filled with an assortment of blue flowers including, hydrangeas, anemones and Cornish blue bells.
For a finishing touch we added storm lanterns to give atmosphere as the sun went down on what was a glorious spring day.
