Now the wedding season has slowed down I have time to reflect back over the year and share some of the weddings we had the privilage to be involved with. At the beginning of the season I pondered over what would be ‘in’ this year – muted pastels, blues for colour and style wise – natural, informal designs? What really came through was the larger less ‘compact’ bouquets with trailing ribbons and the odd sequin! But also quite a mix of colours with gypsophila and hydrangeas remaining popular. A key feature was ‘the personal touch’ with brides doing their own styling with favours, place names and venue decoration. Take a browse and see for yourselves. I have to thank all the great photographers who have sent me images and who are credited along side their shots.
So here we have Christine’s simple but beautiful mixed sweet pea bouquet for a May wedding along side a ‘country’ pedestal – the scent was was divine.
Staying with the populas pastels we saw the wedding of Sarah and James at Blackstock Barn who had a lovely afternoon tea theme with bunting, crockery, jam jars and beautiful photogaraphs by Libby Reed.
More mixed pastels for Victoria and James in July at the wonderful Old Rectory in Hastings. They had some great props with birds and nests, chalk board signage and ladder table plan courtesy of Jenny at Bellaboo and Beau – Creative Wedding Styling and Design, cake by Sylvia at The Art of Cake. And thanks to Hannah at Lifeline Photography.
There have been many more but I will finish this post with Brogan’s pastel blue, peach and grey bouquet.
I will be back shortly with many more images from our lovely weddings this year.
