English Beauty

Tabitha and Mickey currently live abroad, but when it came to getting married they wanted to come back to their homeland and celebrate in true English (with a bit of Scottish!) style.




Choosing very natural English seasonal flowers, tied with raffia, hessian and jute twine the effect was charming, quirky, and just so pretty at the beautiful Bury Court Barn in Surrey.



Yellows and greys on a summers day.

Trends in weddings are always evolving and changing, new ideas filter through from so many sources which is an element of my job I love, it makes each one different and exciting.
 However after doing over 2,000 weddings you would think there was no colour way on a painters pallet that at some point I hadn't encountered.
So before Jodieeven  came to see me saying her colours were yellow and grey, I was so excited I had started creating a board on Pintrest even before she had arrived for our intital meeting, a colour combination I had never had the chance to play with.



And it works so well. The vibrancy of the sunshine yellows, especially at this time of year, complimented with soft, muted greys work so well. I loved every bit of Jodie and John's wedding, held at the beautiful Bury Court this weekend. 


Using lots of seasonal flowers such as achliea, chamomile, succulents, dusty miller, daises, seniceo and dahlias and keeping the props simple I think the overall effect was quite dramatic.





I hope you agree.
