We’ve teamed up with Sheila Scott, one of the Scottish Borders most experienced photographers to provide a wedding album with a difference.    

We’ve recently been contacted by Emma-Jane of Buckingham Events.

Emma-Jane is a very busy lady organising events in and around Leicestershire.  She also has a gorgeous online boutique with stores on board such as Bloomingdales, Saks Fifth Avenue, Fortnum & Mason and Marks and Spencer – plenty of international inspriation for your wedding!  In addition, she produces really interesting and inspirational blog posts.  Our bouquets caught her eye.

Check out her lovely blog post about our vintage bouquets and then enjoy browsing her site  http://www.buckinghamevents.co.uk/blog/vintage-brooch-bouquets/

Thank you Emma-Jane.

Bethan and Neil got in touch with us to help them with styling their wedding at Marchmont House last October.  Marchmont is an incredible building 20 minutes from Kelso situated in magnificent parkland.  It’s one of the few properties in the Scottish Borders that can seat 140 for dinner and accommodate up to 200 for an evening party.

There’s a fabulous driveway up to the front of the house.

Bethan looked radiant.  She chose a shower bouquet in beautiful vintage pink and cream roses and we added snowberries and orchids.

We decorated the hall with a really large arrangement and added lots of extra fairy lights.

The Ballroom, a fabulous wood panelled room with church organ, provided the backdrop for the ceremony.

We created two large arrangement in urns for the top of the aisle in lovely soft vintage pink and cream colours and plenty of greenery.

And we followed the colour theme into the dining rooms.  We also added fairy lights to the centre of the large fireplaces.

We loved making these flower ‘trees’ for the alcoves in the dining room.

And we reused the long arrangement from the registration table on the top table.  There are some beautiful flowers in the autumn including pink snowberries, with sedums and astilbes.

Bethan and Neil had great ideas and we thought these hand-crafted table names were so stylish – made from slate and wood.

There are lovely grounds at Marchmont – and the weather for Bethan and Neil’s wedding couldn’t have been better.

After dinner, guests enjoyed a fabulous party in the Ballroom.

May we wish Bethan and Neil every happiness in their future lives together.

Also, many thanks to Craig McBeth from www.mcbethphotography.com for all the fantastic images.

Shalini and Rajiv divide their time between New York, Glasgow and India and we were really delighted  when they decided to celebrate their special day at beautiful Mellerstain.  It took a lot of organisation by the talented couple and the day was full of colour and excitement.

Shalini looked exceptional!

Family and friends all contributed to the preparation of the marquee which was provided by www.bestintentmarquees.co.uk  An elegant mandap was created for the main ceremony and dining tables were adorned with striking arrangements of flower heads in low terracotta bowls.

Shalini and Raj cleverly mixed together a fabulous fusion of English and Asian traditions including an Asian brunch, English afternoon tea, village fete bunting using sarees and an exciting blend of Scottish ceilidh and Bhangra music for a truly incredible evening party.

Our thanks to John and Sandra Parris of awarding winning photographers www.parrisphotography.co.uk for all the exquisite images in this post.
