It can be hard to believe the busy city we call home has such stunning, country house-style spaces like The Hurlingham Club in Fulham. An exclusive private member’s club, this Georgian building has floor-to-ceiling windows and is set in 42 acres of the most magnificent landscaped gardens overlooking the river. With pure joy, last year we took up the opportunity to create some splendid floral designs at this venue for Anis and Saarah’s wedding…
Our fabulous bride knew she wanted very colourful flowers for her special day which led us to an apricot, orange, peach and cream palette with plenty of greenery to complement the walls of the tranquil Terrace Room and gorgeous lawns. Here, we lined the ceremony table with bud vases of individual stems that could be spotted throughout our arrangements (because who doesn’t love consistency, right?!) We also added Pearl Avalanche Roses for a luxuriously warm salmon-champagne touch and the short, rounded coral Hypericum Berries which varied the height of the blooms on display and worked perfectly with each of the vases.
For Saarah’s hand-tied bouquet, we selected the soft, creamy two-toned blooms of Cafe Au Lait Dahlias, compact white Cosmos, bell-shaped Lisianthus in apricot, delicate Jana Spray Roses, long stems of white Phlox, trailing Asparagus Fern and Miriam’s favourite, the Romantic Antique Garden Roses in peach. Our lovely groom, Anis wore a buttonhole made up of an oversized white Avalanche Rose and peach Jana Spray Rose to tie in with Saarah’s arrangement.
The four beautiful bridesmaids also each had a bouquet, this time comprised of tightly quilled Pom Pom Dahlias and Ranunculus rosettes with silky, paper-thin petals. Cosmos, Lisianthus, Phlox and Antique Garden Roses all made an appearance too, matching the bridal bouquet but bringing their own unique twist. We also created peach and green wrist corsages with Lisianthus, Jana Spray Roses and star-shaped Astrantia for when they were ready to put down their bouquets and dance the night away!
With a room as breathtaking as the reception space, the designs didn’t need to be big and bold, instead, they formed a graceful finishing touch to the look. We carried through the same flowers to create short centrepieces adorned with candles and silverware, plus a garland on the top table. Et voila!
A day filled with so much love and laughter, we’re over the moon that we got to work with Anis and Saarah. We wish them a very happy future together!
