Last weekend saw the teams working on a couple of events -

If you are looking to get married in the next couple of years and want a stunning venue in the middle of Westminster, you could may find there are some dates available at One Whitehall Place. Check it out!

Then we were off to the Victoria Park Plaza in Victoria (where else would it be, I hear you holler!) for Kerry and Ilan’s wedding reception. Following the ceremony at St John’s Wood ‘Shul in the Wood’, the guests trooped down to Victoria for a fabulous reception in the hotel ballroom

Chosen theme was ‘a country wedding brought up to town’. Kerry’s bouquet featured Green Fashion Roses, white Anenome with a hint of pink at the edges, pale green Lisianthus, chocolate-scented Cosmos (yes, really!), Chincherinchee and black Viburnum berries loosely gathered together and tied with a chocolate brown ribbon

We then had tall clear vases filled with towering branches of twisted willow hung with crystal drops and Singapore Orchids

For the low displays, we wrapped palm bark around wide glass vases and filled them with a mix of herbs, Roses, Love in a Mist, Cosmos, Chincherinchee with berried ivy and Leucadendron foliage to create a very loose, just gathered feel

We set up an escort card table in the reception lobby with a carpet of lush green bun moss on which to display the guests’ name cards

With some very interesting effects provided by lighting supremos Fishers, the room looked amazing and apparently ticked all the boxes with the bride and her family!

We will have some more photos of the synagogue soon which will be added here to complete the story

This weekend’s wedding was at the lovely Pendley Manor, set in landscaped gardens close to Tring in Hertfordshire.

The Verney Room was the setting for the ceremony and the party then moved to the beautifully decorated Oak Room shown here dressed with displays of white and green flowers set on glass cake stands and tall lily vases filled with white Singapore orchid heads on silver wire.

There is a very aptly named Peacock Lounge at Pendley Manor so called for the amazing tame peacocks that roam the grounds and are often seen by guests strolling past the windows to see what is going on! www.pendley-manor.co.uk

The overpowering sense that Spring was finally here greeted guests on arrival and was in the air all day even though it was a little overcast and threatened to rain on occasion!

The bride had a bouquet of ivory Akito roses with Ranunculus, Freesia and Narcissi Paper Whites whilst the flower girl and bridesmaid carried posies of creamy white Freesia.

I’m looking forward to returning to Pendley for another wedding; it is a beautiful house with charming service – well worth a look if you haven’t found your ideal venue yet . . .
