Micro Wedding Magic

It’s fair to say this year has been one of uncertainty and challenge for everyone, including our couples who have had to move their wedding dates, postphone indefinitely or radically adapt their dream day into something that looks completely different. It’s been our greatest honour to help our couples navigate through this time, and the… Read More


A Tale of Two Venues

Last year, a lovely bride came to visit us not too long before her wedding. She had two venues to dress, one for her ceremony and the second for a fabulous party the next day. For both venues she wanted rich late summer colour, but different schemes to suit each vibe. Her ceremony and wedding… Read More


Urban Garden Style

Back in February we were lucky enough to take care of a gorgeous Spring wedding for a couple with taste that was totally on our wavelength. The bride, Ellie, had a vision of a glorious colour clash; burgundy, berry pink, coral, orange, with wild organic shapes. We used the best of the season; poppies, ranunculus,… Read More


Thanksgiving Dinner at Tiffany’s

Last year’s Thanksgiving Dinner at Tiffany Old Bond Street was an elegant and understatedly beautiful evening.  Featuring handpainted Tiffany Blue and white mini pumpkins, bespoke mini wreaths personalized with embroidered ribbon for 120 special guests. We used dried grasses, lunaria, hellebores, ranunculas, mimosa foliages and diamond white roses to create a runner down the length… Read More

The RSA House events team had organised logistics to ensure safety measures were adhered to with staggered arrival times, digital temperature checks and a socially distanced layout for the… Read More


A Stylish London Affair at RSA House

In RSA House, a gorgeous gem of Georgian architecture just off The Strand, Becky and Ross had their elegant Winter wedding. When Becky and her Mum first came to meet with us, Becky knew exactly the type of stylish impact that she and Ross wanted to create in The RSA’s stunning rooms. Plenty of blousy… Read More


Statement Style at Kew Gardens Wedding

Last July, we created a lush fusion wedding look for gorgeous couple Anna and Alain. In their first meeting they said that they wanted to combine floral elements of Bermuda, China and the UK, in a very natural, organic way. The end result was a striking combination of structural orchids, pops of garden colour, and sweeping boughs… Read More


Cambridge Cottage Spring Wedding

Velvety roses, deep berry ranunculas, tulips, narcissus, aubergine anemones, skimmia and the prettiest dusting of star shaped jasmine flowers – a truly seasonal combination for a spring wedding at Cambridge Cottage Kew. We love the delicacy and timeless romance of the designs that suit Anna the bride so perfectly. She told us afterwards that she… Read More


A Feast For The Eyes at Middle Temple

Working with two designers like Jake and Nicholas, made the journey from our first discussion to the day a beautifully, evolving process that held so much enjoyment for all of us. They articulated their ideas wonderfully, enabling us to match their vision with the seasonal foliages and produce we would have to choose from. The only… Read More


Sunshine & Romance at Chiswick House

There was so much to love about this wedding day. The smiles, dreamy photography by Phillipa Sian, the hazy summer sunshine, the beautiful venue and the classic colour palate of white, green and blush. Friends and family took their seats for an intimate ceremony in the conservatory, dressed simply with a romantic garden urn brimming… Read More


Elegant & Stylish Wedding at Kew Gardens

We loved designing the flowers for this wedding, and hope it proves that – if used in the right way – strong, regal colours can look contemporary, natural and organic. We used late summer flowers, including burgundy sangisorba, scabious, equinox thistles, delphinium, and beautiful micanthus grass, alongside coral hypericum and – our September favourite –… Read More


Late Summer Wedding at the Mandarin Oriental

Soft pillowy flowers, scattered rose petals and the gentlest shades of ivory, oyster and blush pink were chosen for this late summer wedding at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. We used hydrangea, dahlias, groups of roses and spray roses with lacy dill, berried eucalyptus and lots of tumbling foliage for a quintessentially garden-like feel from the… Read More


Gorgeous Guildhall Wedding

Hennie and Craig came to us with a distinct, and very personal vision for their wedding flowers. They wanted bold colour, shapes and their favourite flowers represented in designs that were smart, elegant and truly represented their style. The Guildhall is a breathtaking venue for a wedding and a space that works perfectly in sync… Read More


Hazy, Scented Summer Wedding at The Langham

The brief was a dream; fragrance! Anything with a beautiful scent, such as jasmine, soft berried eucalyptus, geranium leaves and herbs – placed amongst ferns and soaring natural branches. The colour palette played perfectly to the season too. Beautiful hazy late summer colours of cream, pale pinks & salmon peachy tones, alongside stronger accents of… Read More


Intimate Grandeur & Romance at Hampton Court House

On what was the stormiest day of 2020, Alex and Russell were married at an intimate ceremony at Hampton Court House – a gorgeous venue with roaring fires and a unique relaxed grandeur. We wove personal memories for the couple into all the designs and included as many spring woodland flowers and foliages as we… Read More
