We are privileged to introduce our Claridge’s wedding to our Behind the Scenes series.
Our stunning Claridge’s wedding last weekend was an unparalleled space for Paula to work with. We hope you enjoy reading about our finer colour and design concepts.
For our Claridge’s wedding ceremony tall glass flute vases with a stunning design of hydrangea, o’hara, sweet avalanche and avalanche roses in the gorgeous, delicate shades of pastel pinks, creams and blush with the slightest hint of blues and lilac worked with the column designs and added a delicate balance to all of the floral installations. Two stunning asymmetrical column designs stood at the top of the aisle and framed the couple beautifully as they said their vows. Paula loves creating focal features for her couples as they enhance the beauty of their wedding day.
Clusters of hurricane vases with church candles on plinths elegantly stood at the end of the ceremony aisle. This breath-taking wall backdrop of pillar candles, ombre cluster pots of roses and hydrangeas at the end of the aisle was the most perfect entrance for the bride. The mirrored reflection of candlelight accentuated the light and created a beautiful warm atmosphere.
A breath-taking floral full table runner ran across the registrars table and cascaded onto the floor. The runner complemented the columns perfectly with the ombre colours mirroring the other designs. The ceremony runner was transformed to the top table for the evening celebration. Paula masters her design elements for multi-faceted purposes if her couple’s wish for a transition within their day.
