Such a beautiful location with history dating back to 1541 , the most incredible gardens as a florist it brings me such delight to work in the most natural of settings the lovely mix of flowering plants & foliage totally immersed in Mother Nature what a most wonderful place to work!
Grace & Martyn truly made their wedding flowers true to them , it was relaxed , gentle & boho with a colourful colour palette with the just picked feel full of locally grown British blooms & foliage’s perfect for an English summer wedding.
A Summer Wedding at Abbotsbury Sub Tropical Gardens, Dorset.
Grace carried a gentle just picked style Handtied bouquet with roses ,achillea ,daisies ,ferns & foxgloves & finished with trailing silk ribbons, a full flower crown to complement the handtied bouquet.
The bridesmaids wore all different colours from forest greens, burnt orange in different styles it was such a fabulous vibe all carrying a smaller version of Graces bouquet & all finished with trailing silk ribbons. Martyn & his groomsmen wore buttonholes of mixed flowers & fern finished with a touch of silk ribbon.
Flowers were an integral part of the day & for my lovely couple it was a wish if possible to have foxgloves as it meant a great deal to them & I was so glad that I could make this happen with the last cut due to the very hot weather.
