A flowery bower ( or two )

When Marianne first came to the shop to talk wedding flowers, she was so cool. And laid back. And she had GREAT hair.

Her and James' plans were for an intimate gathering at Beechwood Village Hall which is an adorable eco-build in Cooksbridge just outside Lewes following their ceremony at Lewes Town Hall. It is a good looking building with a gorgeous veranda looking out onto a green playing field and used as a community village hall.

Her inspirations were a mixture of bold, bright vibrant colours and neutrals to tie in with wedding dress and bridesmaids bold turquoise and cerise dresses. A combination which is never easy to pull off but always works.

But best of all she wanted hanging decorations. Which we LOVE. Hanging florals have surged in popularity as they bring so much to a space without looking traditional. They bring a naturalness to any space whilst still looking celebratory. Combined with festoon lighting, they brought green, colour and texture to the room. Plus it provides a good workout for us florists as it involves numerous trips up and down a ladder.

And did I mention she had sequinned tablecloths. In gold. Oh yeah. They were so stylish, I wanted to wear them and prance around inappropriately. Which I didn't. Natch.
