The picture below is the cover photograph of the web site and the cushions which we all love are a mixture of linens, wools and silk damasks, piped in contrasting fabrics with the largest at 60cms square and the smallest 50cms square. The stool is deep buttoned and covered in a sumptuous velvet. Cushions do become the icing on the cake.
I meant to get this blog done the first week of Sepember but our eldest daughter Rebecca married the gorgeous Jeremy on the 1st and so it has been pretty busy. I enclose a couple of photographs from the glorious occasion, which was held in a corn field in Dorset complete with combine harvester.
The flowers in the marquee were done by the fabulous team of Niki (my design assistant), Lulu (sister in law), Sarah (mother of the groom) and myself. All 22 flower arrangements took forever but were well worth it and such fun. The church flowers were done by the hugely talented Pippa of Tussey Mussey flowers and were just right, not too formal but wonderfully large, glorious and country. Top tip with flower arrangements - make them as large as you dare.
We decorated the sides of the marquee with twine, small corn and lavender filled jars and pegs on which to hang all those wedding hats. It really livened up the sides, with barely a spare peg in sight.
I can really recommend trees in a marquee whatever the occasion as they give height and break up the large volume of space which seems to make marquees feel so cavernous and dull. Each one had a set of fairy lights with the pots wrapped in potato sacks and baler twine, thank you Ashley and Kate.
Finally, I could not resist putting this last photograph in of the beautiful early evening light looking through the marquee to the unharvested cornfield beyond.
Many thanks to all for supplying the photography enclosed, special mention going to Tiddy Maitland-Titterton for taking the official photographs of the big day.
