Natural Autumn Style

Pangdean Barn Foliage Garlands

Autumn wedding flowers are a joy to work on! I loved working with this late summer/early Autumn colour palette of oranges, mustard yellows and plenty of textured foliages. Desiree and James organised their whole wedding at Pangdean Barn via email  as they are based in New York. We worked from pictures and talked through ideas and finally met when they were over much closer to the wedding date. I often work with couples who live far away or can’t meet up for one reason or another – this is when Pinterest really comes in handy!

Desi and James were so lovely to work with, in fact I even met up with them for a coffee when I happened to be over in New York the following month! The whole wedding had such a laid back vibe and their wedding style really reflected that, with lovely textured garlands of foliage placed down the centre of long banquet style tables the whole look really suited the barn. Looking over the professional photos by Paul Read Photography there was so much love, laughter and happiness throughout the whole day.

Thank you Desi & James for sharing these amazing pictures from Paul Read Photography

Brighton Mermaid Inspired Wedding

Tropical colours and Hawaiian tiki mugs

This wedding was an absolute dream to work on! We had colourful flowers, a Hawaiian tiki theme and some seriously stylish outfits. Hannah and Chris were married at the end of July at Pangdean Barn, which is always a pleasure to work at. The sun was shining and they tied the knot outside in Pangdean’s beautiful gardens (I always enjoy setting up in the gardens, so many gorgeous flowers!)

Hannah had personally collected A LOT of tiki mugs which we put colourful seasonal blooms in to decorate the venue. We had 3 different sized mugs per table and a big display on the ledge behind the top table in the barn. The flowers we used were dahlias, miss piggy roses, yellow freesia, cerise pink garden roses, orange asclepias, september daisies, bupleurum, asparagus fern, sandersonia, cosmos and helenium to create a lovely loose and natural bouquets and arrangements.

I love being a wedding florist in Brighton, it is such a creative place and you get to meet some really arty people with some great design ideas for their wedding day! It’s really fun working with different ideas and making them come to life.

May wedding at Pangdean Barn, Brighton

Pinks, purples, sweet peas and peonies!

I absolutely loved working on this wedding, so many amazing scented flowers to work with! May is a great time of year to get married as it crosses over spring and summer so you get the best of both worlds, you can have tulips and ranunculus but also sweet peas and peonies. We used clematis, stocks, lisianthus, sweet peas, ranunculus, peonies, David Austin roses, ‘moody blue’ roses, spray roses, fountain grass and some gorgeous Irish grown foliage.

Suzanne and Peter chose to tie the knot at one of my favourite local Brighton venues, Pangdean Old Barn. It is always such a pleasure to work there and it has such a beautiful garden where you can have an outdoor ceremony (unpredictable British weather permitting!)   I decorated the outdoor area but sadly the weather didn’t cooperate so we moved the aisle flowers indoors and turned into hanging indoor vases instead. Not your Average I Do had decorated the barn with lovely lanterns too which really tied the colour scheme together nicely.

The colours chosen worked really well with the sage green colour scheme at Pangdean – as you can see in the picture above, matching foliage and door paint!
