Shantili and George’s Wedding

The Matara Centre, The Cotswolds

Shantili and George live in New Zealand and they asked for fresh, spring-like bouquets and arrangements which featured the orchids Shantili adores, Ikebana-style table arrangements, and pew ends, created with ferns and eucalyptus, to decorate the aisle.

So ….I combined magnificent orchids with fabulous kloon ranunculus, butterfly ranunculus and double lisinathus, and added delicate alliums and stems of chaenomeles to create sumptuous bouquets for Shantili, her mum and bridesmaid, and designed delicate table arrangements in hand-crafted dishes. The result was a wonderful fusion of cultures and climates which was completely at home in Matara!

In their words…..

“I tried to catch you at George and Shantili's wedding on Monday but my sight of you was very fleeting and there was so much to distract me! Anyway I just want to say how exquisite the displays and bouquets were. So beautiful. Thank you.”

“The flower arrangements you made were astonishing. All of our guests made comments about how lovely they were. We truly appreciate you making our venue even more beautiful.”
