I have been working with Mark and John for the past year now , planning the flowers for their wedding and the different styles and colour schemes they wanted.
The had chosen to have the main colours of Lilac and Silver, with a hint of dark purple. A dream colours scheme for any florist. With them being from Australia, the silver was no problem and we made sure that the silver grey foliage of the eucalyptus featured throughout the floral designs.
They had both the wedding ceremony and the reception at the Tutor Barn, which is a truly unique venue - it is the perfect location for weddings, parties and corporate events, and holds the distinction of being the only existing Tudor Barn in London. Surrounded by thirteen acres of parkland and a medieval moat, Tudor Barn Eltham dates back to the 16th century. With its connections to royalty and as the location of some of history’s most celebrated marriages, including The Railway Children’s author Edith Nesbit and Hubert Bland, it is a place steeped in history and tradition.
Both Mark and John had very clear ideas about what they wanted regarding the floral designs on the day. On the wooden stairs leading up to the croft of the barn, they wanted a pedestal of flowers to wow their guests. At the front of the hall they wanted two similar
pedestals to really set the scene. I was exceptional fortunate to get some large dark blue hydrangea to be a strong point in the designs. Using a wonderful lilac ( Dancing clouds) and white (Avalanche) roses, gave the designs the true romantic feel for the pedestals. The other flowers which I included was lilac lissianthus, white oriental lily and lilac phelonopsis orchids.

For the ceremony, the gentleman asked for four modern designs of silver eucalyptus and which oriental lily. These designs where done by creating some large handtied bouquets and by using large monsteria leaves at the base, the bouquets sat firmly into large glass conical vases. We had filled the vases with clear cellophane and then with coloured water. Having set the vases on wrought iron stands the gave height and a sense of grandeur.
The table centre pieces again where handtied bouquets and pleased into cylinder glass containers and placed on mirror bases.
We where truly delighted to have been
part of Marks and John's special day, and from the whole team at Fleur Boutique, we wish them the very best for the future with their new life back in Australia.
