HOW TO NAIL YOUR WHITE WEDDING FLOWERS

S & T, our style savvy international clients, chose the vibrant heart of London for their unforgettable celebration. The day unfolded with a captivating blend of classic elegance and urban chic. A vintage red London bus, a symbol of the city's iconic charm, transported guests, while the bride's dazzling Louboutin silver sandals added a touch of contemporary sass. To complement the sophisticated black-tie aesthetic, we crafted a symphony of pure white florals, creating a striking contrast that amplified the day's refined glamour.

Black tie city wedding in London with white rose bridal bouquet

In the heart of London's autumn, Simone's wedding unfolded as a study in refined minimalism. Her sleek A-line gown, a canvas of understated beauty, was punctuated by the striking details of her silver Louboutin heels and a pearl handbag. The bridal bouquet, however, was to be a focal point, a contemporary masterpiece in pure white. We explored a range of hero flowers, each with its unique charm, before arriving at the white rose with large, reflexed petals. This design, with its dramatic yet delicate form, mirrored Simone's own confident grace, creating a harmonious dialogue between bride and bloom

Her four adult bridesmaids wore dark blue dresses, each in a different style to suit their body shapes and personalities. This attention to detail extended to their bouquets, where we embraced a modern approach with single-variety designs. Each bridesmaid carried a bespoke arrangement featuring a distinct white flower – the lush volume of hydrangeas, the exotic allure of Singaporean orchids, the sculptural grace of calla lilies, and the timeless elegance of white roses. This trend, a testament to the desire for contemporary flair, allows couples to weave a thread of personal style throughout their wedding aesthetic, creating a cohesive yet distinctly individual look.

The little helpers were matched with their mums' bridesmaids bouquets with mini boutonnieres for the page boys and floral wands and baskets with fresh flowers and rose petals for the adorable flower girls.

The wedding ceremony was held in a city centre catholic church where the guests gathered from around the globe to see the sweethearts make their vows. To create a focal point that mirrored the solemnity and beauty of the ceremony, we crafted grand floral urns, their white blooms symbolising purity and the fresh green foliage representing new beginnings. To deepen the visual narrative and elevate the ambiance, we incorporated the unusual 'Westminster Abbey' rose, its subtle mint green shade adding a layer of unexpected depth and a touch of grace.

White floral rose sculptures for a top table at a London City Wedding

The wedding reception was held at fashionable Devonshire Terrace where the glassed in courtyard creates an incredible outdoor space that can be enjoyed whatever the British weather is up to! For the top table flowers, we created four floral sculptural designs of white roses, calla lilies and hydrangeas, echoing the bouquet flowers. Candles and black rimmed charger plates with menus tied in black ribbon created a stylish tablescape. The guest tables featured groups of sleek bud vases filled with large white roses and lots of candles.

This one was a masterclass in black tie modern bridal styling captured in cool editorial photography that perfectly told the story of their day.
