The beautiful wedding of James and Emily...


This winter wedding with a Mexican twist took place at Middleton Lodge in February 2014. 'Jimily’ (Jim and Emily) celebrated their wedding day with love, lots of laughs, a whole lot of partying and joyful tears (mostly mine). 

The bride and I poured over inspiration on websites such as Pinterest and were drawn to coral and pink tones with tropical details. I used ornithogalum and protea flowers to accentuate the luxurious tropical style we sought. The tropical theme was a perfect fit for the lovely couple’s honeymoon destination and the bride’s love of Mexican design.  

I used a softer colour pallet for the bridesmaid’s bouquets to offset their gorgeous coral dresses and to contrast with the bride’s vibrant bouquet.  The bride wore a beautiful floral crown made with fresh flowers, which accented her lace dress to perfection.  Button holes and corsages for the bride and groom’s mothers incorporated the tropical styling in hues of white, vibrant pink and coral. Table flowers came in the form of vintage jars and vases brimming with peonies, ranunculus and wax flowers. 

I also collaborated with the bride to style the wedding of their dreams; helping to design, source and make many of the wonderful details that brought their wedding fiesta to Middleton Lodge.
