Warm autumnal hues at Stone Barn near Cheltenham
This is absolutely how to embrace the seasonal shift! Colleen and Barry wanted rich, warm and textured florals for their wedding at Stone Barn near Cheltenham. Planned by Gem of Eucalyptus Events, this was a masterclass of tonal styling effortless ease. The bride wore a a full length beaded cape and gown and her bridesmaids were amazing in complementary velvet dresses. The barn was decorated with a giant floral hoop and cascades of flowers from the pillars and tables. And the cake - well - it was perfection.
Love Notes
"From the moment I spoke to Fi on the phone I knew she was the florist for us! Fi is laidback, friendly and so experienced and captured my vision perfectly. When Fi turned up on the morning of the wedding with our bouquets it was like a family member rocking up. Her transformation of the venue had me in happy tears. She understood my vision so well that she added unplanned coloured pampas leaves to the main installation - my husband was correct when he told Fi I would go crazy over it. I really did. Fi also didn't hesitate to provide fresh petals last minute when then venue told us we couldn't use dried. If you want a florist who is prepared to go the extra mile and provide you with flowers everyone will be talking about Fi is the one."

The Wedding Flowers
Sarah had her heart set on a statement bouquet with lots of movement and drama so I created this stunning natural cascade design for her using lots of brightly coloured spring ranunculus flowers together with stocks, delphiniums and scabiosa. Her bridesmaids had hand-tied bouquets to match and the men's boutonnières were a cute collection of grape hyacinths and ranunculus.
The ceremony took place in the main barn under a giant foliage hoop with added pops of orange and pink pampas grass. For the reception, we added tumbling designs on the wooden pillars and filled wooden crates with flowers for the tables.
