Brandshatch Place
Like many couples who were going to get married in 2020 Lindsay and Stephen didn’t have an easy time with countless postponements due to covid. They eventually got married in August 2022, but boy was it worth the wait! Lindsay’s attention to detail combined with our floral creativity made this wedding the stuff of fairytales.
Both Lindsay and Stephen were passionate about florals, and wanted nothing more than show stopping arrangements and feature pieces. With minimal foliage throughout, Lindsay walked down the aisle holding a handtied bouquet of ivory avalanche roses, dusky mauve amnesia roses, dusky pink faith roses, ivory spray roses, pale blush pink lisianthus, blush astilbie and white astrantia with touches of eucalyptus gunni and soft ruscus foliage.
The oversized guest table centres were full of the bridal florals with the addition of hydrangea and waxflower for texture. We lined the white carpeted aisle and finished with candles and rose petals, leading to a beautiful full fresh flower showstopping moongate.
All of the walls of the Terrace Suite were fully draped in luxurious white fabric, giving the perfect neutral background to allow the florals to really pop. Finishing touches included white chair covers, with a chiffon chair hood in dusky mauve to perfectly complement the florals. And of course, a luxury wedding would not be complete without masses of cut glass votives holding tealights and long stemmed candlesticks holding dinner candles.
Bradbourne House – As seen in Your Kent Wedding Magazine
In the Spring of 2020 at the height of the pandemic, Chic Weddings and Events launched a competition to find one NHS hero to have the chance to win their dream wedding day. The Chic Wedding Showroom Partners Jeff Oliver Photography, Victoria’s Bridal Boutique, Shelley’s Cakes and ByBlossom Wedding Stationery also pledged their support along with Bradbourne House and entertainment company Discologic. Lizzi and Jack were the lucky and deserving winners.
With a pale pastel lemon theme running throughout with gold accents to complement the gilding throughout the stunning Bradbourne House, Lizzi walked down the aisle with a gorgeous handtie bouquet containing pale lemon David Austin garden roses, ivory avalanche roses, pale lemon lisianthus ivory spray roses and white wax flower with mixed eucalyptus and soft ruscus foliage.
A mix of both tall and low centrepieces were used down the aisle during the ceremony and then moved to the guest tables after. A tall gold geo stand held gorgeous tumbling florals which included the bridal flower mix with the addition of white hydrangea and stocks and a spring garden of florals held a gold edged hurricane vase complete with candle for a shorter table option.
Gold tealight votives, gold beaded edged glass charger plates, gold napkin cuffs and white chair drapes added the perfect finishing touches. Fresh flowers adorned the cake with the table softened with white chiffon and accented with gold tealight votives.
‘The entire day was only possible thanks to Laurie at Chic Weddings and the astounding generosity of the many other suppliers who donated their services. All of them are complete perfectionists and geniuses at what they do and I couldn’t recommend the highly enough. Laurie is a wonder woman with such a kind hart, enabling us to have the most spectacular that we could only have ever dreamed of’. Lizzi’s testimonial As told to Kent wedding Magazine.
Preston Court – As seen in OK! Magazine
On 28 June 2019 three years after Cara De La Hoyde and Nathan Massey became the first ever winners of Love Island, they became husband and wife. They married at the gorgeous Preston Court in Canterbury with the wedding being exclusively covered by OK! Magazine.
A florist’s dream with gorgeous florals literally covering everywhere in the stunning grounds and barn at Preston Court. Cara new that she wanted her florals to complement her lilac colour theme, and she wanted a lot of them, but she gave us free reign to create floral heaven. So that is what we did! Where did we start? By selecting with Cara a gorgeous mix of florals that toned and complemented the lilac hue of the bridesmaids dresses. We settled on one of our favourite summer mixes of garden roses, peonies, scabious, spray roses, flowering mint, hydrangea, astilbie and lisianthus with touches of eucalyptus foliage.
The bridge leading to the ceremony island was heavily adorned with flower garlands in the same floral mix of the bouquets. The beautiful metal pagoda was finished with gorgeous showstopping arrangements to the top corner and base.
Over in the main barn we decided to run with a carousel theme, tying in with the spectacular working carousel in the grounds and also giving a nod to Cara’s circus roots. The sweetheart top table was an explosion of colour dressed with two large carousel ponies either side, complete with floral garlands as the reigns. We created two larger trailing corner arrangements to either side of the table, and a lilac chiffon skirt to soften the front of the table. Behind the table stood a moongate arch, again in the same floral mix.
The white sequin clothed guest tables were dressed with rings of flowers, with carousel horses nestled into the centres and crisp white linen napkins. Clear beaded edged charger plates and white chiffon chair drapes added the finishing touches.
