Indian Summers

Here at Someflower we have been very fortunate to have been involved in some wonderful and exciting non traditional weddings such as this lovely and colourful Hindu ceremony last year at the Manor Barn in Buriton.

I was just looking through the portfolios with another Indian client this morning to show some of previous ideas that we have come up with to decorate a venue with a tradional and eastern floral fusion.

What we have really enjoyed in all our Eastern Weddings is the use of colour at these weddings, and decorating such wonderful accessories such as staues and Mandaps.

The Hot Pink, Purple and Lime Green colour pallette was simply stunning.  Ganesh statues were situated eitherside of all the entrances to the barn and welcomed guests to what was just a magical ceremony.  Faye and I were very honoured to be invited to stay for the ceremony. 
I have been to a few Indian ceremonies before in the past.  A few when I worked in London and also my partners family are Indian and we have celebrated such occasions as Divali with them...but not a wedding til last year.  A wedding is fabulous and I love the sense of togetherness and family, tradition and belief that a ceremony like this evokes....you could say all the ingredients for a successful marriage??!!

Summer @ The Manor Barn, Buriton

This was a beautiful day at one of my favourite

venues-The Manor Barn in Buriton. It was a lovely hot and sunny day....just perfect for Hayley and Adam.

These lovely images were taken by the clever and talented Barry Whitcher. (who even took a nice photo of me that day!!!). Click on this title to look at Barry's web site.

Again more of Barry's photography and my work can be seen on the Someflower Face Book pages.

Cheryl and Andrew. Manor Barn April 2010

We were kindly sent a selection of photographs taken at Cheryl and Andrews wedding at The Manor Barn in April this year that I would like to share with you.

I will never forget that week, as all flights had been cancelled to and from the UK due to the volcanic ash.

Unfortunatly some of Cheryl and Andrews guests were unable to make their wedding day, and I was having sleepless nights hoping that thier flower order was going to arrive on time.

The flowers as you can see from the photographs certainly did arrive, and beautiful they were too. Cheryl chose dusky purples, lavender and cream in her natural hand tied bridal bouquet. This colour harmony really suited her tranquil and beautiful personality. The dusky/vintage and dusty colour pallette is turning out to be a very popular colour theme for this year.

Sarah Aires Photography: Paul and Trudi’s Wedding - The Manor Barn, Buriton

Last month we has a wonderful couple of days in Buriton decorating St Mary's Church and The Manor Barn for Trudi and Paul. The sun just shone down the whole time and everyone envolved seemed very relaxed (even Paul who had only returned home a few days before his special day from The England Rugby World Tour in Australia).

We loved the colours and style for this wedding...it was very in keeping with both the church and the Manor Barn. You will see from the photographs that peach and coral shades were used as the main focal colour. A really striking harmony that I think is making a come back, and I hope we will see more of in the future. There was lots of peach gingham, enamel jugs, an eclectic array of jars and pots, hay bales and parasols. There were no matching flower displays, every arrangement was different and had "a just picked from the garden" look .

We used lots of seasonal cottage and country flowers which included a gorgeous new coral rose called "Miss Piggy" which you can see so perfectly in the breathtaking photographs that Sarah Aires captured of the day, along with all her other stunning images. Please click on this postings title Sarah Aires Photography: Paul and Trudi's wedding and take 5 minutes look at some brilliant images of this wedding.

Alison @ Manor Barn, Buriton. May 2010.

We were sent a selection of gorgeous photos from Alison this week. A lovely lady who had the most amazing vision for her wedding. Even after over 20 years within this industry, I am blown away by how focused my clients are. The colour theme and flower choices requested by Alison were stunning.
