One evening late in May, we were part of a fab team who created this stunning set up at Kew Gardens, for Christie Nicole Bridal wear, as she brings her modern Australian collection of dresses over to the UK for the first time. For the table, it was all about single white rose stems en masse, and loads and loads of reflecting candle light for a chic, and magical look! I will share more with you from this wonderful evening soon!

This year's Valentines is a bit of a strange one... in lockdown, like so many other milestones and celebrations that have come and gone we have been. unable to celebrate. To try and cheer people up, we were commissioned by Cadogen estates to create a large, floral installation In the centre of Duke of York Square to bring a smile to people during these hard times. This Valentine’s looks a little different and many loved ones are apart, families and friends kept away from one another, so this is a chance to share the love this Valentine’s and for the people of Chelsea to take a picture under ou ..read more

Miracles do happen! This couple were set to marry abroad in Tuscany, Italy but covid but a stop to that! And so in between lockdowns and ever changing restrictions, there was a very small window where weddings of up to 30 were allowed, and our couple took their chance!

The stunning Euridge Manor, nestled on the outskirts of the Cotswolds is such a hidden gem, a true treasure of a venue with its stunning boathouse, we held the ceremo ..read more

On the 13th December, after a few cancellations and changing of plans, Adeela our beautiful Pakistani bride managed to successfully marry her fiancé in a beautiful, intimate Nikah ceremony in the Penthouse of the Dorchester. With just 10 close family attending it wasn't the original wedding the couple expected, but it was just as special and just as beautiful. We dressed the penthouse dining room for the reception with lush foliage, blush pink roses, pale lemon roses and creams to complement the apple green statement walls of the room. We matched the taper candles to the exact shade of the gre ..read more

It was the night before another lockdown, our plans for a fashion event had all been cancelled at the last minute for a special Christmas event. We were homeless without a venue as all hospitality had to close immediately and yet we had armfulls of flowers and a christmas tree complete with all the decorations and were determined to make something of it all! The wonderful Antoinette from The Lanesborough welcomed us in to her hotel at no notice, to take part of their 'Rule of 6' suite of set ups to celebrate the beauty of small, micro covid weddings and events. We were thrilled to be able to t ..read more

Nothing quite prepares you for Sezincote. After winding through the mighty oaks that line the long drive of this Gloucestershire garden on the edge of the Cotswolds, you see a weathered-copper onion dome straight out of India. The south front, complete with curving orangery, unfurls above a Repton landscape that has remained unchanged since the mid-19th century. The garden is blessed by a series of spring-fed pools, connected by gurgling water which eventually tumbles into the Island Pool in the valley bottom, before joining the River Evenlode below.  It was an absolute joy to create flor ..read more

We were thrilled to be a part of a very special editorial, high fashion shoot with Natalie Hewitt and Katie Julia at Syon Park, called, 'I Am Human'. Focusing on diversity, inclusivity and love, against a backdrop of the Black Lives Matter movement, we focused on the only colour of 2020 - 'skin colour' in ALL of its beautiful shades, celebrating everyone! We are all human. With multiple, diverse models shot together the frames are powerful showing unity. For the flowers, we took inspiration from the skin shades and made these run throughout the large archway that we created as well as the bouq ..read more

Following on from my last post, I wanted to share with you the inside of the marquee dressing that we did. We carried the hydrangeas and the pale blue shade through to the reception, so it all blended beautifully. With a large white open marquee we really wanted to close in the space within the marquee and make it intimate and cosy for the 26 guests, keeping the atmosphere of a wedding. We dressed the fronts and ends of the long tables with floral meadows to create a garden, and dressed the edges and central poles of the marquee with trees to close in the space. I love the end look so much!&nb ..read more

Amongst all the heartbreaking news of 2020 we were lucky enough to have the opportunity to create a magical set up for a cover secure micro wedding that took place in August. With just 26 guests, the wedding was intimate but oh so, so beautiful. Below are some of the photos from Katie Julia, all captured beautifully on film of the day! The bride loved hydrangeas and the pale blue shade so we used them as the hero flower throughout. The arch was 15ft tall, and framed the entrance to the Church with spectacular beauty. Stay tuned for the next post which features the reception decor. This wedding ..read more
