Wedding Flowers Magazine

Last year we featured the beautiful autumnal wedding of Noor and Alan on the blog. We are delighted to announce that it has now been featured in the latest edition of Wedding Flowers Magazine. Enjoy!

Bride Ideas and Frock-Ups

A couple of weeks ago, we were asked to provide the flowers for a book launch. Not just any old book launch, but Bride Ideas and Frock-Ups. This fabulous new book by Sim Cannetty Clarke, Susannah Frieze and Amanda Lockhart is packed with the most stunning wedding photography, handy hints and fascinating bridal lore. Held at Westbourne Grove Church in Notting Hill, the party was a glamorous and fun filled evening attended by wedding and event planners including, Kathryn Lloyd, Amanda Sherlock and Lester Gethings. Society It girl, Tara Palmer Tomkinson, who wrote the forward to the book mingled with guests and brides featured in the book graced the event in their wedding gowns. One of our favourite quotes from the book. "Marry rich. Buy him a pacemaker. Then stand behind him and say Boo!" Joan Rivers.

Halloween Chic

This weekend, there are sure to be plenty of Halloween parties taking place. Pumpkin carving, crackling fires and spooky fun! Don't forget though about your front door! If you want to have the smartest door in the street, then take a look at our beautiful wreath of mini pumpkins, chinese lanterns and ghostly spanish moss. Perfect for a chilly autumn night. Happy Halloween!

Wedding Flowers at Wilton's Part 2

A few weeks ago, we posted some our photos from the beautiful vintage style wedding of Katherine and Elliott at Wilton's Music Hall. We've just received some of their professional shots which were taken by Simone Germaine, so enjoy more of this beautiful wedding!

Euphoric Triumph over Disaster!!

Euphoric went on the road last weekend, all the way to Derbyshire..and all the way back! Not a wedding this time, but a very glamorous 50th birthday party on top of a hill in the glorious Peak District. The venue was a 30 metre long marquee, with glass walls on either side overlooking the stunning Hope Valley. On one side of the marquee was a decked terrace complete with picket fence for the drinks reception. The brief was for sophisticated opulence, so we chose tall white trumpet vases lavishly filled with white phalaenopsis orchids which sat on slate grey crushed silk tablecloths, whilst white glass cubes packed with white chincherinchee decorated the bar and occasional tables. Perspex Philippe Starck chairs completed the glamorous look.

Our well organised plans went somewhat awry before we had even left London! Having had a flat tyre, we then reversed into a rather posh car as we left the studio! Finally we got on the road, and after a 6 hour journey up the M1, we arrived at our home for the weekend, The Poachers Arms in Hope.

The day of the party started well, with preparations under way, before we discovered that 9 of our 15 vases were black instead of white!! Frantic phonecalls followed, and replacements arrived just in time to save the day!

Luckily, we were in the calm hands of Amanda Sherlock of Giles Sherlock Event Design whose planning of the entire event was quite breathtaking. Her professionalism and attention to detail, was faultless and it was a joy to work with her again.

The whole event was catered by Simon Cromack and his team from Eventuate and, as you can see from the menu, dinner was a sumptuous affair!

During the day, we found time to create a little video, which will follow this..we hope you enjoy!

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.
