When Julia saw the picture of an all lilac freesia bouquet in a

copy of Wedding Flowers several years ago,

she new that that was what she wanted for her bouquet.

So Matthew and team set about making the posies

& table arrangements

& then decorated the font - as you do -

with scented stocks & freesias

roses & lilac

solomon seal & lissianthus.

the scent was heavenly

lily of the valley, peonies & roses

who needs words when there are such beautiful flowers to say

i love you

spring meets summer

delicate white ranunculus

meets

scented sweet peas

Caroline certainly had a beautiful day for her wedding at The Walled Garden in Cowdray.  

The sun shone.  A gentle breeze rather than a gale.  Champagne & Canapes.

the arrangements were rather splendid

lily of the valley, tulips and ranunculus

a couple of weekends ago we did rather a beautiful wedding

our bride requested flowers that grew in her grandfathers garden

in shades of green with just a touch of white

the perfume was heavenly

with lily of the valley from Yvonne's garden, foliages from Matthew's

and viburnum from the orchard it really did have a garden feel

the flowers on the table were just as special
