Above:- A stunning photo to be treasured forever. This shot shows beautifully, the teardrop bouquet of Black Baccarat Roses, Cassablanca lilies, Freesia and Maiden Hair Fern.

Above:- The Bridal Party. The elegant two-piece Bridesmaid's gowns in bordeaux satin were made by a company in Canada. The three piece Bridal gown was made by Veromia Bridal from Mikado satin and encrusted with gold metallic embroidery and beading. This gown featured a detachable train which was also covered with embroidery. The Bride's exquisite veil was made by UK company Richard designs and the gold tiara was created by a German designer. The Groom's cravat was made by our seamstresses here to coordinate with the Bridesmaid's gowns. The Bridesmaids all held hand tied posies to match the Brides bouquet and the Grooms double button hole and hair flowers also coordinated with the held arrangements.

Above:- One of the table decorations. As the Bride had chosen an Edwardian house for her reception we decided to reflect this in the flowers. We designed and created an 'Edwardian Dinner party' look from the 1900's by using fern, green Amaranthus, Oriental Lilies, Roses, Carnations, Berries and greenery in ivory, deep burgundy and chatreuse green. The glass vases for these arrangements were lined with fern fronds and petals were strewn over the cloths.

Above:- The finished reception from the upper end of the room. If this photo was in sepia you could almost think that it was taken in the Edwardian era. The top table is festooned with flowers and greenery, as is the mantle piece behind where the Bride and Groom will sit. You will notice in the foreground that there is a table center in a spherical glass bowl. We hid the oasis in glass insert pieces fixed into the top of the bowl and then arranged the flowers so they they hid the stems. By doing this the flowers were lifted up and appeared to be originating from nowhere. The bottom of the vases were filled with crystals. Spectacular!

Above :- A photo looking the opposite way showing the flowers on the tables and the vases either side of the doorway. Again all arrangements were designed to look antique and to fit in with the architecture.

Above:- A close up of one of the door arrangements created using Lilies, Roses, Carnations, Berries and Fern. Classic and elegant.
