Blue Sky Flowers

July Mcflurry!

Our July weddings have started – we have a record 8 scheduled for this month and the different teams working on them have been running around far and near!

The first I can share with you was held in the beautiful church of St John the Baptist in Little Missenden.

With a Scottish groom involved, it was a challenge to co-ordinate the flowers with an unusual tartan, but Jessie and I had great fun choosing pale blue, purple, red and green flowers at the flower market.

Then last week, we came back into the centre of London for a sun filled wedding party at the Kensington Roof Gardens. Bowls of Freesia, Dahlia and Roses with bright coral Peonies combined to make a real summer party with the sun blazing down on the glorious gardens of this unique rooftop venue.

The bride looked beautiful and carried vibrant coral Peonies and fragrant Freesia. The bridesmaids were in very glamorous coral pink dresses and each had an ivory Singapore Orchid wrist corsage tied with pale gold ribbons.

There seems to be a trend emerging for bright wedding flowers at the moment! Coral is a fave in terms of both dresses and flowers. So watch this space!

May the sun shine all day long . . .

Well, it seems the wedding season has started with a vengence.

We installed some beautiful flowers for a wedding yesterday at St James’ Clerkenwell which was, luckily, fantastically cool as the Peonies we were using were very hot, in both colour and temperature! We then went on to The Larder restaurant in St John Street with some vibrant purple and hot pink seasonal flowers – Stock, Roses, Dahlia, Freesia mixed in with some scented herbs set in mirrored silver pots (photos to follow soon).

Today we had two events so our wedding teams went off in different directions – one to the city and St Helen’s on Bishopsgate (photos to follow) and the other to One Whitehall Place.

This wedding was joining a Greek bride with an Italian groom so we had Olive branches, Eucalyptus, pale pink Sposina roses (it apparently means ‘little bride’), Maroussia roses as they were named for Louisa’s grandmother and a bouquet including

Lily of the Valley from my garden because the Mother of the bride had some in her wedding bouquet – it was a real family affair!
