Pettibone Heaven!

We have long been fans of the fabulous wedding dress designer Claire Pettibone and therefore were in dress heaven as one of our Brides chose a Pettibone number to get married in! The setting was a picturesque village deep in the Wiltshire countryside. Even though the weather wasn't at it's British best, one couldn't help falling in love with the whole day!

We filled the Church with beautifully scented peonies and David Austin 'Juliet' roses which were just delicious! Long arrangements of palest pink hydrangea and creamy stocks sat high up on the windowsills!

It wasn't a massive Church but tall arrangements of pale lilac and ivory delphinium helped create a fresh feel!

Jugs of peonies, stocks and distinctive peach avalanche roses filled the corners of the Church and it really was a glorious haze of flowers.

The reception was held in the gardens of the Brides parents home. The marquee had a wonderfully distinctive style and the Bride had certainly put some hard work in!

Now I know we talk about falling love with this and falling in love with that ~ but seriously!! How can anyone not like this! It really did feel like an extravagant dollop of summer sunshine in a rather beautiful vintage jug!

Luxury is the answer.....

Well, what can I say! Last weekend was officially a belter. The new Mr & Mrs are in Bali somewhere and we are only just recovering!! It was a fabulous weekend with the closest wedding we have ever done! We walked across the field and into the marquee to set the reception up, round the corner to the Church and across the car-park to drop the buttonholes off! The bride was down a country lane and oh was I enjoying it!!

The flowers were fabulous, the Bride kept it elegant with gorgeous David Austin roses called 'patience' and trailing jasmine for her bouquet! The reception was awash with vintage green hydrangea and a fabulous new scented rose called 'Norma Jean'.

A very excited groom..

The wedding was a success all around, ask anyone at Hartley Farm  and they will look at you with a knowing smile......

Anyway I off to the pub for a happy pint......

A most bemused Father of the Groom...
