It does feel a bit strange posting a blog about a winter wedding when we are all looking forward to spring but I did not want to wait nearly a year to write about this wedding just because it is out of season. Gemma and Glen picked the wonderful The George in Rye Hotel for their December wedding and chose local suppliers to complete the day. Lauren-Louise Professional Hair and Makeup added the glamour and Debbie Sanderson Wedding Photography captured the day perfectly.
We provided the flowers which with weddings falling between Christmas and New Year can sometimes be a bit tricky as the flower markets are affected by the holiday season like anyone else. However Gemma knew what she wanted from the start and had chosen classic ivory roses with a touch of blue and we decided on thistle and the metallic blue/black vibernum berry.
Being Christmas the venue was dressed for the occasion and we added an extra touch with jam jars on the aisle chairs.
Gemma and Glen were a lovely couple who clearly enjoyed their day and included their children every step of the way. Gemma’s daughter was one of the flower girls and her son gave her away.
Glen chose his son for his best man
And the party started!
Right through to the cutting of the cake by Claudia of Purple Flour a simple but effective cake incorporating all the elements of the wedding, blue and white for the flowers with grey hearts and sat on a wooden crate for a more natural feel. The bridal bouquets around it and bottle in the crate gave it extra flower power!
And what a lovely shots to end the day!
