Lennoxlove

In the last few weeks we have seen so many of our 2011 winter brides we are all feeling a little festive already. Especially when we spotted red ilex in our local wholesaler last week!  So to give a little winter inspiration to some of our brides we thought we would feature this Lennoxlove wedding from January past.

Dark red roses and regal purple anemones led the way through all the wedding with accents of viburnum berries and amaryllis to give some added texture.

Fairy lights add an instant visual element to a marquee no matter the time of year.

A big thanks to Rankine Photography for letting us have use of these images. 

Hopetoun House

Our clients Christina and Chris were married two Friday’s ago at Hopetoun House.  They gave us a huge amount of creative freedom – they pointed out a few things they really liked – the atmosphere of the room, a few favourite flowers and the general style of floral design they wanted to be involved and then let us loose!  Clients who trust you just to run with it… amazing!

 

National Museum of Scotland

Recently Heritage Portfolio commissioned us to create a herb garden in the newly refurbished National Museum of Scotland for a client launch party.  We installed large arches of pots of thyme and mint along with huge urns of lavenders and basil giving the whole area a rustic garden vibe.

 

Although the biggest talking point was our lettuce bar.. Did we just say lettuce bar?? YES WE DID!  Have we not got the most fun job?!  It took two of the team a whole day to layer thousands of lettuce leaves.  The texture the leaves provided was stunning and the thought did run through our mind of how we could incorporate more lettuce into our work!  We had fantastic feedback from our clients and most of all we can't wait for future events in the new Museum space.

Hopetoun House

As sole recommended florist at Hopetoun House we love how each and every bride has a different style at Hopetoun.  Something about seeing huge cylinders filled with puffballs of abundant white hydrangea against the intricate tapestry's made us smile. All the other details were kept very minimalist, using single stem vases and clear candle stick holders not to detract from the main attraction!

National Galleries of Scotland

Alastair of AMJ Photography kindly featured some of his images of one of our tablescapes at National Galleries of Scotland on his blog this past week.  The event for the Edinburgh Convention Bureau was a small dinner of twenty guests set on one long table (regular bloggers will know about our little obsession with long tables!).  The colours and structure worked extremely well against the brashness of the red walls.  Before leaving the set-up a passer by commented that it was a piece of art itself so of course it fitted perfectly in the room.. how could we not be please with a statement like that!

 

A huge thank you to Alastair for the use of his images.

Dundas Castle

We adored this truly vintage wedding that 88 Events put together at Dundas Castle.  The whole wedding looked so effortlessly gorgeous, but of course you know that every detail was planned out to perfection when Sheila at 88 Events and the wedding team at Dundas Castle are involved!

We met our bride Jackie only once before the wedding as she lived in South Africa but we clicked from the start and were confident we knew the look that she had envisioned for their wedding day. 

Her bouquet was full of lovely textures.. loose and free-spirited was the brief and we loved that, giving us opportunity to pop lots of random little goodies in there!

Our most favourite spot of the marquee has to be this little corner where we placed some chests and filled them with herbs and hydrangea.  Then topped them with urns full of roses, snowberries and hydrangea and placed pails of stock and wax flower to finish off.  Perfect way to fill dead space in a marquee.
