The brides bouquet incorporated 'Mozart' calla lilies, cerise nerines and 'Miss Piggy' roses. A wonderful combination of colours!

Perfume launch, Newick Park Hotel

Monday 9th July 2012, a prestigious perfume company held an exhibition of their new perfume at Newick Park Hotel. I was asked to design some vases of flowers to compliment the fragrance. The colour scheme incorporated black, pink and gold. Peonies being a main ingredient in the fragrance were used as the focal flower. Together with black and gold twigs and the use of gold birch twigs and gold bullion wire to create 'thorns' as on the packaging, the creations came together. They looked magnificent and it is always a pleasure to use inspiration and creativity when taking on contract work.

7th July 2012, Wakehurst Place

7th July 2012, Wakehurst Place, nr Ardingly. A stunning building which belongs to the National Trust provides a wonderful venue for weddings.
The rich, dark panelling within the building was harmonised  with perfect complimenting colours of soft lilacs and purples. Lavender being the flower, scented and seasonal was chosen and rustic pots of fresh lavender wrapped in natural hessian filled the room with delightful fragrance.

The bridal bouquet combined the lavender with lilac/pink 'Memory Lane' roses, cream spray rose, rosemary herbs, veronica and lisianthus. A natural, seasonal bouquet fetching for a mid summers day.

The backdrop of the ceremony room was highlighted with two large topiary trees made with the most gorgeous purple hydrangeas, seasonal stocks and complimenting bridal flowers.
