In the height of summer meadow flowers are the order of the day. July to me is all about gorgeous bright summer flowers. When we got Natalie and Guy's brief I knew immediately which direction we should take their wedding flower. They'd chosen to tie the knot at the beautiful barn at Herons Farm - sometimes you just have to listen to the venue, and this venue cries out for the just picked relaxed vibe.
Natalie's bouquet contained some of my all time favourite flowers - peony, sweet pea, nigella, astrantia, craspedia, ammi majus ... the list goes on! The wildflower wedding look is really achieved with tons of different flowers with loads of texture. Tied with beautiful colourful satin ribbons the bridal bouquet encapsulates all that I adore about July.
Flower crowns for weddings are all the rage ... I have to say I'm a complete flower crown addict, but at the same time I'm not sure I have the jaunty walk or total confidence to carry one off. This delicate number adorned Natalie's head and I have to say this is one floral crown I could happily wear every day. I'm addicted to nigella ... its floaty cloud like appearance, and whilst perhaps I shouldn't admit it, as its the height of fashion in the floral wedding world, I'm not gypsophillias biggest fan but somehow this crown pulls it off.
The maid's carried a miniature version of Natalie's bridal bouquet with grasses, sweet peas and peonies in abundance. I loved how the fountain grass just darted out between the flowers ... and those colours!
Meadow boxes adorned the long tressle tables at Herons Barn, beautifully creating a country mix with larkspur, peony, alchemilla mollis, snapdragons, astrantia, alliums and nigella taking centre stage.
Now we're busy looking forward to next weekends weddings - one with peonies the other with wild white flowers. I cannot wait!
