Ivory and purple bridal flowers

 Emma's colour scheme was ivory and purple. The best purple flower is eustoma and so this is where we started with the flowers. Emma decided on a hand-tied design and loved a similar design I had made previously with all roses and foliage. We kept on the same design with ivory roses, purple eustoma and gyp with a little tree fern and salal as a collar.

 The stems were bound with foliage with thin ivory ribbon pinned around to add to the design.

 The two adult bridesmaids carried a similar style bouquet but with just the roses and gyp to stand out agains.

 The younger bridesmaid carried a smaller version of the brides.

 The flower girl carried a silver heart wand with a couple of purple eustoma and a sprig of gyp.

The groom wore a buttonhole of an ivory rose, gyp and eustoma buds.

The rest of the bridal party wore single ivory rose buttonholes.

The Orangery, Charlotte House Hotel

Jo's reception was also held at Charlotte house hotel.

Her cake was a lovely vision of chocolate, which she asked if we could decorate with the same calla lilies as the rest of the wedding.
The top tier was a corsage of 3 callas with bear grass and ivy leaves.
The other tiers each had a single calla with a bear grass bow.
The guest table centrepieces were three calla lilies with a mass of bear grass placed in a tall round lily vase that sat on a small mirror base.
The Orangery at Charlotte House is an airy room which is flooded with light from the large glass frontage.

The chairs had been placed in the library for the ceremony and would be brought back while the couple were having photos taken.
The top table design had been doubled up as the registrars table arrangement and would be brought back in after the service.

Charlotte House Hotel Civil Service

Jo's wedding was held at Charlotte House Hotel. The ceremony was in the Library.

The civil ceremony table arrangement, which was later to be moved to the top table, was a mixture of ivory and purple flowers. Included were 'picasso' calla lilies, eustoma, alstroemeria and roses.
The matching pedestals framed the ceremony table perfectly.
