WET WEATHER PLANS ☔⁠ -⁠ If you're planning a WET WEATHER PLANS ☔⁠ -⁠ If you're planning an outdoor ceremony (or even reception) you always have to have a wet weather plan, after all the weather in the UK can be somewhat temperamental...⁠ -⁠ We were planning to create this tablescape outside with the sun shining down on us under a pergola supported by gorgeous concrete columns, which should have been fine in August! The reality was that the rain beat down and horrendously strong winds put that idea to bed (I had visions of bare stems left in a vase and the petals on the other side of the garden) ⁠ -⁠ We moved it all inside and I used the flowers I was going to create something beautiful with on the patio to quickly knock up a fireplace design. As the bride was in hair and make up, I carried the buckets through and got to work creating this mantlepiece. I'll admit that fireplaces are one of my favourite places to decorate and when I see a good one, I'm itching to get my hands on it (closely followed by staircases...I know, it's a bit weird)⁠ -⁠ So when checking out your venue, make sure they've got a ceremony room big enough to hold your guests, just in case as you can never be sure what the weather will throw at you!⁠ -⁠ Concept, planning & styling: @clairedomonteweddings⁠ Photography: @taylorhughesphotography⁠ Floral design: @irisandcoflowers⁠ Models: @rossandchristine⁠ Hair & Makeup: @hmu_atelier⁠ Venue: @barnsley_house⁠ Bridal gowns: @suzanneneville⁠ Grooms attire: @theweddinggalleryofficial⁠ Wedding cake: @cakebuds_uk⁠ Hair accessories: @viviembellishbridal⁠ Stationary: @loupaper_⁠ Silk ribbon: @pompomblossom⁠ Jewellery: @lilyarkwrightuk⁠ Tableware & crockery: @classiccrockery⁠ Table linen: @just_4_linen⁠ Candlesticks & lanterns: @the_w_collection ⁠ -⁠ #bohobride #bohowedding #pampasgrass #weddingcakeinspo #blushandburgundy #bohotable #summerwedding #receptionflowers #alternativebouquet #surreywedding⁠ #lovewins⁠ #altbride⁠ #weddingbouquet⁠ #realwedding⁠ #winterwedding #weddingflorists #floralwedding #bestnewcomer⁠ #traveldiary #rockandrollbride⁠ #passionpassport⁠ #floralwedding⁠ #gothbride⁠ #midcenturystyle #midcentury #ecowedding #twobridesarebetterthanone #2021wedding #bridalparty #surreywedding
TONAL FLOWERS ✨⁠ -⁠ A bouquet full of flower TONAL FLOWERS ✨⁠ -⁠ A bouquet full of flowers in exactly the same shade will look very flat and it becomes had for they eye to distinguish between each bloom.⁠ -⁠ This is why I will always work to a colour palette rather than a specific shade (not to mention that nature doesn't exactly like to match to Pantones all the time!)⁠ -⁠ I choose flowers, wandering through the Market, taking in all the sights, smells and colours before deciding what to pick. I'm led by the shades on our mood board but will always choose tones around these colours - slightly darker and slightly lighter. This allows your key colours to shine through, without getting lost or looking flat. It also adds depth and interest to designs which is what I'm all about. I want people to see something different with each glance or angle - a new hidden flowerer or different perspective. ⁠ -⁠ This bouquet featured some dried elements alongside fresh flowers, which is my new favourite thing - it brings a whole new dimension to a bouquet! ⁠ ⁠Concept, planning & styling: @clairedomonteweddings⁠ Photography: @taylorhughesphotography⁠ Floral design: @irisandcoflowers⁠ Models: @rossandchristine⁠ Hair & Makeup: @hmu_atelier⁠ Venue: @barnsley_house⁠ Bridal gowns: @suzanneneville⁠ Grooms attire: @theweddinggalleryofficial⁠ Wedding cake: @cakebuds_uk⁠ Hair accessories: @viviembellishbridal⁠ Stationary: @loupaper_⁠ Silk ribbon: @pompomblossom⁠ Jewellery: @lilyarkwrightuk⁠ Tableware & crockery: @classiccrockery⁠ Table linen: @just_4_linen⁠ Candlesticks & lanterns: @the_w_collection ⁠ -⁠ #bohobride #bohowedding #pampasgrass #weddingcakeinspo #blushandburgundy #bohotable #summerwedding #receptionflowers #alternativebouquet #surreywedding⁠ #lovewins⁠ #altbride⁠ #weddingbouquet⁠ #realwedding⁠ #winterwedding #weddingflorists #floralwedding #bestnewcomer⁠ #traveldiary #rockandrollbride⁠ #passionpassport⁠ #floralwedding⁠ #gothbride⁠ #midcenturystyle #midcentury #ecowedding #twobridesarebetterthanone #2021wedding #bridalparty #surreywedding⁠
🍰FLOWERS OR CAKE? 🌸⁠ -⁠ There's somethin 🍰FLOWERS OR CAKE? 🌸⁠ -⁠ There's something about them together that just works so well. Perhaps it's the time and effort that's gone into making every petal or decoration just right. It could be the reflective of the passion the creator has for what they do and you can see it in their work. It could also be that we're using ingredients from nature to make something absolutely beautiful.⁠ -⁠ One thing's for sure, one is more edible than the other. ⁠ -⁠ So what's your fave?⁠ -⁠ Concept, planning & styling: @clairedomonteweddings⁠ Photography: @taylorhughesphotography⁠ Floral design: @irisandcoflowers⁠ Models: @rossandchristine⁠ Hair & Makeup: @hmu_atelier⁠ Venue: @barnsley_house⁠ Bridal gowns: @suzanneneville⁠ Grooms attire: @theweddinggalleryofficial⁠ Wedding cake: @cakebuds_uk⁠ Hair accessories: @viviembellishbridal⁠ Stationary: @loupaper_⁠ Silk ribbon: @pompomblossom⁠ Jewellery: @lilyarkwrightuk⁠ Tableware & crockery: @classiccrockery⁠ Table linen: @just_4_linen⁠ Candlesticks & lanterns: @the_w_collection ⁠ -⁠ #bohobride #bohowedding #pampasgrass #weddingcakeinspo #blushandburgundy #bohotable #summerwedding #receptionflowers #alternativebouquet #surreywedding⁠ #lovewins⁠ #altbride⁠ #weddingbouquet⁠ #realwedding⁠ #winterwedding #weddingflorists #floralwedding #bestnewcomer⁠ #traveldiary #rockandrollbride⁠ #passionpassport⁠ #floralwedding⁠ #gothbride⁠ #midcenturystyle #midcentury #ecowedding #twobridesarebetterthanone #2021wedding #bridalparty #surreywedding
ALL THE DETAILS ⁠ -⁠ I impulse bought a ton of ALL THE DETAILS ⁠ -⁠ I impulse bought a ton of these bud vases last year and they are probably my favourite vases that I own! ⁠ -⁠ As a florist, I need a lot of vases in various shapes and sizes but lots of bud vases is a must. Most of the ones I found were really boring and a bit frilly for my style. ⁠ -⁠ I snapped up these guys in stone (dusky pink, dark and light grey) and coloured glass (pink, yellow and grey) as well as lots of clear ones so that bud vases don't need to be boring! ⁠ -⁠ I'd highly recommend having a few in the house for when you get some gorgeous cut flowers and some start to give up early on (yep, sorry Dahlias) and some seem to go on forever (I'm looking at you, 3 week old carnations in my kitchen) - that way you can keep your flowers going on and on without having to get rid when the first few turn!⁠ -⁠ Concept, planning & styling: @clairedomonteweddings⁠ Photography: @taylorhughesphotography⁠ Floral design: @irisandcoflowers⁠ Models: @rossandchristine⁠ Hair & Makeup: @hmu_atelier⁠ Venue: @barnsley_house⁠ Bridal gowns: @suzanneneville⁠ Grooms attire: @theweddinggalleryofficial⁠ Wedding cake: @cakebuds_uk⁠ Hair accessories: @viviembellishbridal⁠ Stationary: @loupaper_⁠ Silk ribbon: @pompomblossom⁠ Jewellery: @lilyarkwrightuk⁠ Tableware & crockery: @classiccrockery⁠ Table linen: @just_4_linen⁠ Candlesticks & lanterns: @the_w_collection ⁠ -⁠ #bohobride #bohowedding #pampasgrass #weddingcakeinspo #blushandburgundy #bohotable #summerwedding #receptionflowers #alternativebouquet #surreywedding⁠ #lovewins⁠ #altbride⁠ #weddingbouquet⁠ #realwedding⁠ #winterwedding #weddingflorists #floralwedding #bestnewcomer⁠ #traveldiary #rockandrollbride⁠ #passionpassport⁠ #floralwedding⁠ #gothbride⁠ #midcenturystyle #midcentury #ecowedding #twobridesarebetterthanone #2021wedding #bridalparty #surreywedding

DRIED FLOWER BOHO VIBES 🌾⁠ -⁠ How epic does DRIED FLOWER BOHO VIBES 🌾⁠ -⁠ How epic does Nishan look in her dried flower crown, sitting on her wicker throne in THAT dress? ⁠ -⁠ This shoot was everything great about the boho style - relaxed, fun and laid back. I used a combination of fresh and dried flowers, pampas grass and hops to create the floral designs and I love how rich in texture they are and how the fresh flowers bring something different in contrast. -⁠ The incredible team:⁠ -⁠ Photography: @imogenevephotography ⁠ Concept & coordinator: @eventswithakilah⁠ Venue: @gatestreetbarn1 ⁠ Celebrant: @jennifer_patrice_celebrant ⁠ Models: @greyyn_ @wpinamang ⁠ Stylist: @event_stylists ⁠ Cakes: @clairessweettemptations ⁠ Neon signage: @loomandlight_ ⁠ Florist: @irisandcoflowers⁠ Hair & makeup: @the_boho_bride ⁠ Makeup: @makeupologybrides ⁠ Bride’s dress: @mariechandlerbridal ⁠ Bridesmaid: @matchimony ⁠ Bridal accessories: @garterandveil⁠ Videography: @hannah_lightpainter ⁠ Furniture/prop hire: @thewstudiouk ⁠ Stationary: @graystarlingdesigns ⁠ Shoot assistants: @acecrystalclear ⁠ Wedding planner: @lucywellsweddings ⁠ -⁠ #bohobride #bohowedding #pampasgrass #pampasbouquet #pampaswedding #bohotable #talltableflowers #receptionflowers #alternativebouquet #surreywedding⁠ #lovewins⁠ #altbride⁠ #weddingbouquet⁠ #realwedding⁠ #macrame #weddingflorists #floralwedding #bestnewcomer⁠ #traveldiary #rockandrollbride⁠ #passionpassport⁠ #floralwedding⁠ #gothbride⁠ #midcenturystyle #midcentury #ecowedding #twobridesarebetterthanone #70swedding #bridalparty #surreywedding⁠
