I loved using all the sunset colours for Alexandra and Lorcan’s summer wedding at the beautiful Hyde Estate near Handcross.
The Hyde Estate is a private country estate in the heart of the West Sussex countryside. A natural wonderland of beautiful lakes, romantic gardens and ancient woodland. Together we designed a gorgeous ceremony setting by the lake. An aisle lined with colourful meadow boxes led down to a show-stealing decorated hexagon frame, in front of which Alexandra and Lorcan were married by Lorcan’s dad on a perfect August day.
On arrival guests were greeted by urns packed with flowers and foliage, and inside the beautiful sailcloth tent provided by Events Under Canvas, we decorated the marquee poles with flower meadows and climbing foliage, and suspended greenery hoops of trailing ruscus, ivy and asparagus fern.
The tables were styled with mustard yellow table runners and matching glasses, and we dotted cheerful bud vases throughout to fit around the sharing platters.
Alexandra and her bridesmaids’ bouquets included dahlias, sunflowers, heliopsis, achillea, scabious, hypericum berries, snapdragons, roses and echinacea. Trailing raspberry silk ribbons were added for the final flourish.
The day was captured beautifully by the very talented Voyteck Photo.
Karen was absolutely fantastic as the florist for our wedding! Communication was amazing right from the start and she really went above and beyond, for example creating a moodboard for us based on our vision as part of her proposal. She was an incredible advisor, really thinking about the specifics of our venue and helping us find the right arrangements to suit it. She handled both the “vision” elements and the logistical elements perfectly and made our lives so much easier on the day. We couldn’t have been happier with the floral arrangements she prepared – everything from the buttonholes to the bigger arrangements was stunningly beautiful – and we had so many comments from our guests about how amazing the flowers were! I highly recommend working with her – she is incredibly talented and just a joy to work with.
