A gorgeous August wedding at Hotel Du Vin

When Gary and Jonny first came and talked to us about there wedding flowers..... There were so many ideas going round... With Jonny being from a very creative field and Gary a more practical one.... And both with a passion for vintage, it was lovely to combine flowers with there love for the gorgeous vintage items they bought from our own brand sold in the shop "Vintage Bird" started by Pauline a few years ago..... There was a very natural overal feel with Gary and Jonny being able to keep all the lovely vintage finds....

The ceremony took place on the Brighton Band stand we created a moss runner for the service table design to sit on. The incorporation of succulents ran through the whole design.

The buttonholes and Bella, Gary and Jonny's french bulldog and ring bearer for the day all had lovely succulents in there flowers.

The feathers co-ordinated with the boys feather bow ties....

For Bella to carry the rings in....

Then on to the venue, below is just a selection of the tables each table had its own design, set onto the moss bases.
