Downton Abbey Style

I just wanted to let you know how utterly delighted I was with the wedding flowers you created for our Downtown Abbey themed wedding. Sandee, you truly understood my vision and I could not have pictured anything more perfect. I only wish like the day itself, the flowers could have lasted forever.

Bittersweet
Kate and Michael
This wedding was bought forward due to the Bride's dad's poor health, so it was a bittersweet day that Kate and Michael tied the knot. However the love of family and special friends bound this day with treasured memories. And this year the peony season started a little earlier than others, so Kate could have her favourite flowers in her bouquet.

A splash of crimson
Kristen & Christopher
Kristen loves red and instead of having a full on red wedding, she opted for a stylish twist with just touches of this rich crimson colour ... from the girls' shoes and bridesmaids' bouquets, to the men's ties and order of service ribbon, to the fresh flower petals for guests to throw, to the bride and grooms' chair backs to the throw posy and even the fireworks!

Chemistry in Colour
Nat & Todd
Drawing inspiration from the invite design we played on the bird theme - hence small floral displays which included faux nests with eggs which were placed on small tables and several large trees with flower balls that made an impact as taller features in the various rooms. Vases with red gladioli brightened up a quiet corner. Alchemy provided the inspiration for the colour scheme with their vibrant red chandeliers and blue walls.

Gilt Edged
Natalie & Todd
The theme of this wedding evolved around a gold colour palette with Baroque styling and lots of picture frames. From enormous ones that were hung behind the bridal table to an eclectic mix strung on ribbons forming the seating plan.

Winter Frost and Ruby Roses
Chelsea & Gavin
