Wedding: Lauren & Chris – Sunningdale G & C Club – Part 1: Ceremony
Lauren and Chris were married at the magnificent St. Peter’s Cathedral and then celebrated their early June wedding at the beautiful Sunningdale Golf and Country Club. Sunningdale was the perfect backdrop for this elegant wedding. Lauren came to me a bit frustrated after having met with a couple florists and event decorators. Well, I’m glad she found me! We immediately “clicked” and I just knew I’d be able to incorporate her ideas, colours etc. to create something fantastic! Flowers were very important to Lauren and the key element in making her dream wedding a reality. No detail was left unattended to. I have to say, it was great fun planning this with Lauren!
We worked with colours that could be considered “classic” (whites and greens), but threw in some unexpected twists like succulents, gorgeous eggplant callas and deep plum cordyline leaves.
The bride’s bouquet consisted of roses, peonies, aubergine callas, orchids and jade plant.
The bridesmaids carried bouquets of aubergine callas that looked amazing with their gorgeous blue dresses!
Lauren was a stunning bride!
St. Peter’s really is awe-inspiring; a perfect place for this grand wedding.
We flanked the altar with two spectacularly lush arrangements. Flowers also adorned the pews.
The groom and groomsmen wore green orchid boutonnieres.
I just love this shot of the two mothers waiting in anticipation by the church doors. The mother of the groom wore a large white cymbidium. The bride’s mom wore her favourite flower: a gardenia.
The bride switched from a white flower embellished sash to a black sash for the reception.
