This spectacular wedding at the walled garden at Elmore Court near Gloucester was full of warmth, love and coral peonies. I worked closely with UK wedding planner Georgina Alexander Weddings and the couple to plan this wedding in meticulous detail. Everything from the bridesmaids gowns to the table-scape had a mood board and mock-up.
​
The ceremony took place in the Walled Garden and we built a huge broken floral arch and lined the aisle with freestanding meadow flowers. The reception in the Gillyflower was banqueting style and the tables were filled with bud vases and candles in a striking raspberry pink. The top table backdrop was an ombré cascade of flowers - it took a team and many hours to sew the flowers together but great design is always worth the effort.

Love Notes
"Every step of the way, Fi was just incredible to work with. From the fully detailed proposals, to helping guide the colour scheme, the planning was flawless. And on the day I have no words to explain how amazing Fi was. My bouquet was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen, plus I spent a large part of the ceremony staring at the ceremony flowers as I was in awe. And the ceremony room……she bought my vision to life and for that I am forever grateful!"

The Wedding Flowers
Georgia asked me to design a special bridal bouquet for her - the vibe was a crossover design that embraced the natural flow of a cascade with the striking contemporary style of a reflexed rose stack - think Married at First Sight Australia meets Bridgerton! The hero flower was the show stopping peony 'Coral Sunset' with reflexed Shimmer and Playa Blanca roses.
The bridesmaids bouquets were a similiar floral mix in a classic hand-tied design and worked brilliantly to unify the bride tribe look.
For the guys in their morning suits, I made on-trend pocket-squares that slipped into the top breast pocket - a clever alternative to the traditional buttonhole.
