THE
BRIEF

We were asked to imagine and create the most unforgettable multi-day Indian wedding celebration at the iconic Cliveden House Hotel in Berkshire.  Set within 376 acres of National Trust gardens, Cliveden House is truly one of the most exclusive and desirable wedding venues in the UK and we absolutely adore working in such desirable surroundings.

 

Our bride and groom were keen to make this winter wedding celebration feel as warm and inviting to their guests as possible and elected to host both their rehearsal dinner and their wedding at the same venue.

On the first evening, our clients were keen to create an intimate rehearsal dinner for 60 guests, to be hosted in the Cliveden Dining Room.

 

For the wedding, the Great Hall was to play host to the ceremony.  The cocktail reception was then due to be hosted in the Cliveden Dining Room and the wedding breakfast would be hosted in a marquee within the gardens on the estate.

The Final Creation

Welcoming guests as they first arrived, giant floral urns using a palette of blush pink tones alongside lashings of English cut foliage.  These enormous flower arrangements set the tone as guests arrived and from this moment on, each friend and family member was part of an experience that they would never forget!

 

The staircase inside the Great Hall was adorned with the most abundant and bountiful floral design.  Fresh flower garlands tumbled down the masculine, wooden staircase to add softness and romance.  Thousands upon thousands of fresh blush pink roses were included in this design to ensure a piece which was picture-perfect.

 

The ceremony was a magical combination of two trees growing overhead and meeting in the middle.  Symbolically, the notion of two becoming one was the perfect anecdote for this romantic winter wedding ceremony.  Hugely theatrical, our impressive trees arched overhead and had floral meadows clustered at the base to offer the perfect photographic opportunity.  Floral meadows ran along either side of the aisle alongside a multitude of candles.

Standing tall in the cocktail reception, giant floral urn arrangements took centre stage.  These impressive floral designs added a huge amount of impact whilst guests mingled prior to being ushered to dinner.

 

The marquee was totally transformed by the most lavish and romantic combination of blush pink flowers.  Giant floral arrangements which exuded luxury and opulence sat atop the tables and offered a sensational impact as guests and family entered the wedding marquee.

 

White and blush pink roses, bombastic spray roses, snapdragons and green guelder roses all combined in glorious abundance alongside blush pink candles, the finest Italian crystal and silver mirror tables to offer a warm winter wedding design that was beyond breath-taking.
