Planning and budget

Alex and Tim wanted a beautiful mix of styles. The ethereal woodland look was created by using branches to create a canopy overhead whilst the most glorious happy colours were in the flowers. Included were Double Tulips, Peonies, Roses, Ranunculus, Icelandic poppies and Stocks.

Requirements included bridal items, ceremony flowers, stair flowers, window decoration, tables for 80 guests and the foliage canopy overhead.

Budget needed approx £2500 (prices as of 2023)

May wedding with a pastel palette of Pinks, Peaches and Nudes at Wick Farm, Bath

There isn’t much that doesn’t work at Wick Farm but this colour scheme of palest Pinks and Greys gave a real soft elegance. It is one that was done a few years ago but I still enjoy looking at the photos now.

The foliages used were mainly silvery Greys with Mint, Eucalyptus, and one of my favourites ‘Stachys Byzantina’. It’s common name is Lambs ear and it has the most decadent appearance with the softest feel. At this time of year before it flowers it is just wonderful.

The Groom was from New Zealand and so wanted a fern included in his buttonhole. We used Asparagus fern which gave a wispy look along with Helichrysum to add the silver colour.

The cake, they would say was a disaster, I would say was amazing. Unlike today the temperature was hot, really hot. A family member had made it and the cream filling just melted in the heat but I loved it looking like that!

The alcove at Wick Farm is bigger than people initially think and it needs something big to decorate it. The old cream milk churn is a firm favourite that lots of couples choose to fit in with the barn setting and fill the space.

Planning details

An abundance of Roses including the beautifully fragranced David Austin ‘Juliet’ sit with Stocks and a little wax flower. The mix of textured foliages and the fluffy Astilbe allow a quite neat bouquet to look more relaxed and stop it looking too ‘dome’ shaped.

The light airy feel of the photography by Kerry Bartlett really suits the colour scheme and gives the feeling of a lovely long hazy Summer.

They had bouquets, buttonholes, table flowers of jam jars, cake flowers and the alcove arrangement. Budget required £700 - £900.
