The wedding of Helen & Liam...

Helen and Liam's pretty palette of pale pastels, soft white and green made for a very romantic summer wedding last month. Blowsy seasonal blooms such as homegrown peonies and garden roses sat happily next to fluffy nigella and astilbe, and a touch of sweetly scented freesia (a favourite of the bride's), stock and sweetpea created a truly beautiful bridal bouquet. 

Helen wore a fresh flower comb, made to match her bouquet, in her hair and her four bridesmaids had delicate fresh flower corsages on their wrists. The groom and his groomsmen carried blush spray roses with white astilbe, whilst the ladies had a sprig of homegrown flowering thyme amongst their roses. 'Just picked from the garden' style clusters of jam jars in pretty pastels dressed the tables at Oh Me Oh My, full of blooms such as garden roses, sweetpea, lilac scabious, powder blue nigella and fresh green achemilla, and lots of fresh foliage added a natural touch...

I still have a whole host of lovely June weddings to share with you, but for now I am signing off for a week in Cornwall with family, good food and hopefully more of this glorious weather!

The wedding of Estelle & John...

June, what a wonderful month! I have had my hands full of blooms every week with lots of happy summer weddings so the blog has had to wait a little, but I promise to share them all in the coming weeks...

We shall start with Estelle and John's big day at The Hope Street Hotel on the 12th. Having tied the knot in Thailand a few weeks before, the obvious choice for their wedding celebration flowers were striking purple Vanda orchids alongside palms and fountain grass, which were mixed with traditional English country garden flowers such as sweetpeas and stocks for their beautiful sweet scent. Lilac roses, lemon scented waxflower and homegrown mint made up the buttonholes and wrist corsages for loved ones, whilst lush green thlaspi and towering delphiniums and snapdragons made an impact in tall vases for Hope Street. Pretty little jam jars filled with lilac and white blooms were dotted around the room on the day to complement the bridal flowers and it was all set for the celebration!

As usual, I can't wait to share the professional photos with you as my amateur snaps hardly do them justice but in the meantime I shall be posting Helen and Liam's lovely day at Oh Me Oh My... watch this space!
