But for now let me just remind anyone still looking for a wedding venue, that One Whitehall Place has its next Open Day on Saturday 15 October 12-4pm. Come and see the venue dressed to the nines with flowers, cakes, toastmasters, harpists, violins, photographers and table dressing!  

With views over the River Thames from the Reading & Writing Room, this is a wonderful venue for a summer wedding with access to the Terrace and gardens which are perfect for photographs. And in winter, the venue comes alive with candles, dark rich curtains and a roaring fire in the Hotel lobby!

We’ve been working at OWP and The Royal Horseguards for so long now it seems like home and some weeks I feel as if I’m there more than home too – but we love it and the people who work there are great, friendly and very helpful – the wedding team under Laura Ramella are very efficient and nothing is too much trouble

So I look forward to meeting some of you there – if you would like to make an appointment to discuss your wedding flowers, please email me

Seriously though, one of our regular venues, the fabulous One Whitehall Place has more weddings booked up and couples on waiting lists for availability than last year. We’ve also seen an increase across the board for weddings on Fridays and Sundays

Our latest wedding on Saturday 13th February was actually in the stunning surroundings of the Gladstone Library at One Whitehall Place. The colour theme was Cadbury purple with ivory accents, lots of candles and scented jasmine to welcome the guests into the Whitehall Suite for the ceremony

This weekend, 19th-21st February, thousands of 2010-2011 brides will be heading to the National Wedding Show at Olympia http://www.nationalweddingshow.co.uk/buy-tickets to find ideas to make their wedding special
